Good morning! How are we faithing? There is a mode of thinking that we as humans have trouble with. Obeying. We just get plain butt hurt when we are told what to do. We all want to do what we want to do. We all tend to think our mode or method is right. Well, sometimes it is and some times it isn't. Knowing which is where Godly wisdom comes in.
1 Peter 2:13-17
Submit yourselves for the Lord's sake to every human institution, whether to a king as the one in authority, or to governors as sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and the praise of those who do right. For such is the will of God that by doing right you may silence the ignorance of foolish men. Act as free men, and do not use your freedom as a covering for evil, but use it as bondslaves of God. Honor all men; love the brotherhood, fear God, honor the king.
NAS
Joshua 1:9
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous! Do not tremble or be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go."
NAS
That second one is the key to being able to do the first. We have to be convinced that God's truths are held in the Word and they are absolute. The world these days says there is no absolute right or wrongs. That is such bunk. Gods truths are the only truth there is therefore we must stand on this premise regardless of what may come. Sinking that trust and confidence deep in our hearts and minds is how we persevere when all seems futile. Place your confidence today and speak your love and honor for our savior and let whatever fall out be his deal, not yours.
Remember Paul Griffin...remember Elanor Gearheart...remember Megan Terrell...
Heavenly Father,
Thank you for your wisdom and love found in your Word. Help us be cemented in your truth and grant us the courage to stand regardless of outside storms that come. Lord we do thank you even when we are in the eye of those storms and forgive us if we waver. Lord grant your mercy on us today and teach us to rely on you for all, in Jesus' name, amen
