Day 175
Biblical Principle -
Absolute truth from God’s Word:
Truth: worship of God is the
utmost important thing in life.
Truth: True worship starts with
humility of spirit
Truth: God gives all abilities we
have and increases them to bring Glory to Himself
Truth: God always out gives us.
1Ki 3:2-14 Only the people
sacrificed in high places, because there was no house built unto the name of
the LORD, until those days.
And Solomon loved the LORD, walking in the
statutes of David his father: only he sacrificed and burnt incense in high
places.
And the king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there; for that was the
great high place: a thousand burnt offerings did Solomon offer upon that altar.
In Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in
a dream by night: and God said, Ask what I shall give thee.
And Solomon said, Thou hast shewed unto
thy servant David my father great mercy, according as he walked before thee in
truth, and in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with thee; and thou
hast kept for him this great kindness, that thou hast given him a son to sit on
his throne, as it is this day.
And now, O LORD my God, thou hast made thy
servant king instead of David my father: and I am but a little child: I
know not how to go out or come in.
And thy servant is in the midst of
thy people which thou hast chosen, a great people, that cannot be numbered nor
counted for multitude.
Give therefore thy servant an
understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and
bad: for who is able to judge this thy so great a people?
And the speech pleased the LORD, that
Solomon had asked this thing.
And God said unto him, Because thou hast
asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life; neither hast asked
riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life of thine enemies; but hast asked
for thyself understanding to discern judgment;
Behold, I have done according to thy words:
lo, I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart; so that there was none
like thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee.
And I have also given thee that which thou
hast not asked, both riches, and honour: so that there shall not be any among
the kings like unto thee all thy days.
And if thou wilt walk in my ways, to keep
my statutes and my commandments, as thy father David did walk, then I will
lengthen thy days.
Practical - Works that apply Biblical Principle:
This section is for you to find a way to apply the truth in
your life. I will try to give only one as example; there may be other practical
ways. This is what makes the Christian walk so important and makes it important
to have a deliberate purpose in everything we do.
When we seek knowledge, wisdom and abilities; it comes from
having the fullness of God.
Eph 3:14-21 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of
our Lord Jesus Christ,
Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth
is named,
That he would grant you, according to the
riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner
man;
That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith;
that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,
May be able to comprehend with all saints what
is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
And to know the love of Christ, which passeth
knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
Now unto him that is able to do exceeding
abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh
in us,
Unto him be glory in the church by
Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
