Why I Believe What I Believe
Day 133
Biblical principle - Absolute truth from God’s Word:
Several
truths to learn:
We
do dwell together with ungodly people.
We
are commanded not to be of the world.
When
we become of the world we forget the Lord.
God’s
anger is always righteous to restore His people.
When
God’s people confess their sin and cry to God for mercy, He gives it.
Rest
of God is given to His people, however, it is not guaranteed to the next
generation as they have to go back to the top of this list of truths and learn
from them to not follow the pattern.
Unfortunately,
the children of Israel, generation after generation, has to go through this
list again and again because they would not trust the truth that was given to
them, or perhaps the people failed to follow Moses’ instructions to teach the
next generation the truths of God’s Word.
Judges 3:5-11, And 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. 8Therefore the anger of the Lord was hot against Israel, and he sold
them into the hand of Chushanrishathaim king of Mesopotamia: and the children
of Israel served Chushanrishathaim eight years. 9And when the
children of Israel cried unto the Lord,
the Lord raised up a deliverer to
the children of Israel, who delivered them, even Othniel the son of Kenaz,
Caleb's younger brother. 10And the Spirit of the Lord came upon him, and he judged
Israel, and went out to war: and the Lord
delivered Chushanrishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand; and his hand
prevailed against Chushanrishathaim. 11And the land had rest forty
years. And Othniel the son of Kenaz died.
Practical - Works that apply Biblical principle:
Our
trust in God makes all the difference on how our life on this earth will be
seen. What may seem to us as the needed thing to function daily in this world
is deceiving. Serve Him in all aspects of life and that which is needed will be
made available to us.
1 Timothy 6:17-19, Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not
highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us
richly all things to enjoy; 18That they do good, that they be rich
in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate; 19Laying
up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that
they may lay hold on eternal life.
