HIS PRECEPTS, OUR STANDARD

“I will never forget your precepts, for by them you have preserved my life.” Psalm 119:93
         The word of God is a standard by which we can live by.  We all need a standard to follow.  Living for yourself requires a whole different standard, for God’s standard is based on love, humility, forgiveness, grace and mercy. These are not characteristics that come naturally to mortal man. To know God’s word is to know the very heart of God.  His character is defined and His promises are laid out for all to see. Those who refuse to even acknowledge His existence are trying to be autonomous1, believing that they can handle anything life throws at them.  The thing they fail to realize is that the resources they draw from, whether intellectual, material or financial, will eventually run dry.  The resources God provides are eternal, in that they shall never run dry. 
          We must determine for ourselves that our God is the One who can be trusted above all.  Until we do that we will always question the wisdom He provides.  God knows what we need and exactly when we need it.  He has never failed at anything He’s ever promised to do.  His silence isn’t a denial, but rather simply a delay for the proper time to reveal itself.
        Knowing God’s word is imperative for the believer to have a spiritually successful life this side of heaven.  Each decree is made for our benefit, but we must trust Him to accomplish that which He has set apart for us to do.  Until next time, walk with the King and be a blessing!
