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.
