We know from the Word of God that all of Scripture is profitable for learning and growing up in the things of God. Some things are direct commandments from the heart of our Father. Some are promises of God, and the conditions required to attain those promises. Some things are examples of what NOT to do, and the consequences of it. ALL of Scripture is vital, powerful and beneficial. STUDY! 2 Timothy 3:16-17:
16 Every Scripture is God-breathed (given by His inspiration) and profitable for instruction, for reproof and conviction of sin, for correction of error and discipline in obedience, [and] for training in righteousness (in holy living, in conformity to God’s will in thought, purpose, and action), 17 So that the man of God may be complete and proficient, well fitted and thoroughly equipped for every good work.
Today we begin with a direct instruction! Psalm 78:1:
1 Give ear, O my people, to my teaching; incline your ears to the words of my mouth.
Here is an instruction and the reason for it! Psalm 78:4-7:
4 We will not hide them from their children, but we will tell to the generation to come the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord, and His might, and the wonderful works that He has performed. 5 For He established a testimony (an express precept) in Jacob and appointed a law in Israel, commanding our fathers that they should make [the great facts of God’s dealings with Israel] known to their children, 6 That the generation to come might know them, that the children still to be born might arise and recount them to their children, 7 That they might set their hope in God and not forget the works of God, but might keep His commandments
This Psalm continues explaining what the One, True God had done for His people and how they had forgotten to remember and to teach their children, so that the generations to come would worship the LORD their God! This is also a very clear picture of what has happened to the United States of America! God sent people here for the purpose of birthing a nation where HE would be worshiped in Spirit and in Truth! This nation was founded on Godly, Biblical principles, and we now have people who not only try to deny this, but have actually tried to erase the truth of this from textbooks. We are so very blessed to have ministries directed by God to preserve the original documents, accounts and correspondence of these times! If people actually desire to know the TRUTH, they have options available! I encourage you, as you continue to go through the Spoken Word Bible Reading Plan, to allow Holy Spirit to show you the clear difference shown between the lives of those who DO His will and those who do not! Then compare these TRUTHS with the world around you! God is ALWAYS on our side. CHOOSE to always be on HIS! AMEN! Here is Hillsong Worship with "Behold - Then Sings My Soul":
Shalom in Him!
