Why I Believe What I Believe
Day 132
Biblical principle - Absolute truth from God’s Word:
The
Lord does not remove all evil from our lives when we become one of His children.
The Lord leaves some in our path to test whether or not we will obey His
commandments. The test is not to give God information about us, as He already
knows everything there is to know about everything. The test is to give
information to us about us. When we know where we are we then can truly humble
ourselves before God and trust Him for our lives path. Wrong choices bring
consequences as will be seen in the book of Judges.
Judges 3:1-7, Now these are the nations
which the Lord left, to prove
Israel by them, even as many of Israel as had not known all the wars of Canaan;
2Only that the generations of the children of Israel might know, to
teach them war, at the least such as before knew nothing thereof; 3Namely,
five lords of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and
the Hivites that dwelt in mount Lebanon, from mount Baalhermon unto the
entering in of Hamath. 4And they were to prove Israel by them, to
know whether they would hearken unto the commandments of the Lord, which he commanded their fathers
by the hand of Moses. 5And the children of Israel dwelt among the
Canaanites, Hittites, and Amorites, and Perizzites, and Hivites, and Jebusites:
6And they took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their
daughters to their sons, and served their gods. 7And the children of
Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord,
and forgat the Lord their God, and
served Baalim and the groves.
Practical - Works that apply Biblical principle:
It
is the trying in our lives that we see our faith grow to reach the earthly plan
of God in our life, which is victorious Christian living.
James 1:2-6, My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers
temptations; 3Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh
patience. 4But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be
perfect and entire, wanting nothing. 5If any of you lack wisdom, let
him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it
shall be given him. 6But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For
he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
