Biblical principle - Absolute truth from God’s Word:

There is only one God. He is Lord. He is strength and power. He works directly in my life.

2 Samuel 22:31-38, As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the Lord is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him. ³²For who is God, save the Lord? and who is a rock, save our God? ³³God is my strength and power: and he maketh my way perfect. ³⁴He maketh my feet like hinds' feet: and setteth me upon my high places. ³⁵He teacheth my hands to war; so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms. ³⁶Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy gentleness hath made me great. ³⁷Thou hast enlarged my steps under me; so that my feet did not slip. ³⁸I have pursued mine enemies, and destroyed them; and turned not again until I had consumed them.

Biblical principle - Absolute truth from God’s Word:

Truth: Praise the Lord for who He and not forgetting to praise Him for what He has done for us.

2 Samuel 22:1-7, And David spake unto the Lord the words of this song in the day that the Lord had delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul: ²And he said, The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; ³The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my saviour; thou savest me from violence. ⁴I will call on the Lord, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies. ⁵When the waves of death compassed me, the floods of ungodly men made me afraid; ⁶The sorrows of hell compassed me about; the snares of death prevented me; ⁷In my distress I called upon the Lord, and cried to my God: and he did hear my voice out of his temple, and my cry did enter into his ears.

Day 169

Biblical principle - Absolute truth from God’s Word:

All it takes is one person to make a big noise and many people turn away from God’s man.

This turn is not a matter of opinion or a choice between differing views. Always choose to follow God’s man. However, more importantly, the truth in this passage is the contrast is in Belial and God.

2 Samuel 20:1-2, And there happened to be there a man of Belial, whose name was Sheba, the son of Bichri, a Benjamite: and he blew a trumpet, and said, We have no part in David, neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: every man to his tents, O Israel. ²So every man of Israel went up from after David, and followed Sheba the son of Bichri: but the men of Judah clave unto their king, from Jordan even to Jerusalem.

1 Corinthians 1:11-13, For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you. ¹²Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ. ¹³Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?
