Trust in the LORD!
There is so much wisdom in the word of God that is untapped, that is ignored, yet it is highly advantageous to allow the word of God to guide our thinking. Psalm 18 vs. 30 says; “As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the LORD is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in Him.”
Mankind has always been hardheaded when it comes to doing what is right. Ecclesiastes chapter 1 vss. 9 and 10, the wise man Solomon says, “That which has been is what will be, That which is done is what
will be done, And there is nothing new under the sun. Is there anything of which it may be said, ‘See this is new?'” It has already been tried in ancient times before us.
The prophet Jeremiah says in chapter 9 vs. 23; “Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, Let not the mighty man glory in his might, nor let the rich man glory in his riches.” Chapter 10 vs. 23 he made a universal application relative to the nature of mankind. He says; “O LORD, I know the way of man is not in himself; It is not in man who walks to direct his own steps.” It’s as though Jeremiah is saying; “Why is mankind so hung up on doing what is wrong, as opposed to what is right And why; help me understand “O LORD,” when will mankind learn to place his trust in You; the Almighty God? There is a phrase that comes to mind which says; “the twelfth of never.” In other words, it will never happen! Man lacks the
discipline needed to consistently do the right things on his own.
Thank God for sending Jesus into the world! Jesus says in John 10 vs. 27; “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them and they follow Me.” Proverbs 29 vs. 18 says; “Where there is no revelation the people cast off restraint.” In 2 nd . Timothy chapter 4 vs. 2 the Apostle Paul encouraged Timothy on what to do as God’s minister. He said; “Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.” The behavior of people today is indicative of the words in Judges 21 vs. 25 which says; “In those days there was no king in Israel. Everyone did what was right in their own eyes.”
Ditto to America!
