Week of 6/22/2017 entry from Bible Promises for You Men’s Group: Faithfulness of God
Scripture: Psalm 111:7-8
The works of his hands are faithful and just; all his precepts are trustworthy.They are steadfast forever and ever, done in faithfulness and uprightness.
Thought: Precept - a rule intended to regulate behavior or thought. if you don't understand God's will, you can be sure that you can trust His intentions. He will steer you in the right direction.
Application: Have a healthy fear of the father and strive to live by his rules.
Response: Father, I pray that I can grow my faith and ask less questions, especially of You
Looking back Today (2025): While we live in a fast paced world, slowing down to focus on God’s will for our lives may allow us to live with less stress and find some peace. Lets face it, some rules are hard to follow. However, in verse 10 we learn that there is wisdom to be gained. Verse 10 says… “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow his precepts have good understanding. To him belongs eternal praise.” Let me paraphrase that differently. You may find yourself thankfully praising God if you take your hands off the wheel and let him drive your life! When I am able to surrender myself and seek the Lord's guidance about what is best for my life, or a how to act in a particular situation, I immediately seem to have less stress. Perhaps the wisdom in verse 10 is that His understanding surpasses anything we could imagine and we become wise when we seek his guidance… and then listen intently to your heart about what Jesus would have you do.
