Word Wednesday #84

Published on by Amanda Tero2 Comments
Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime.  Daniel 6:10
The laws of the land did naught to diminish Daniel’s faithfulness to God. We are seeing the days where the U.S. may change laws for believers’ freedom–will it dampen our open service to God?

Seven days shall they purge the altar and purify it; and they shall consecrate themselves.  Ezekiel 43:26

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.  1 John 1:9
So thankful that, because of Christ’s blood, cleansing is no longer a process but a simple moment of confessing sings.

“As silver is melted in the midst of the furnace, so shall ye be melted in the midst thereof; and ye shall know that I the Lord have poured out my fury upon you.” Ezekiel 22:22

God is not the author of confusion. When He chastens, He makes it clearly known.

“Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul.” Ezekiel 3:21

Believers have a responsibility towards other believers, to encourage them in the way and warn them when they are straying from the way.

“The Lord is righteous; for I have rebelled against his commandment: hear, I pray you, all people, and behold my sorrow: my virgins and my young men are gone into captivity…Behold, O Lord; for I am in distress: my bowels are troubled; mine heart is turned within me; for I have grievously rebelled: abroad the sword bereaveth, at home there is as death.” Lamentations 1:18,20

The repentant heart acknowledges that the difficulty is because of rebellion, that God is righteous to judge. Unrepentance grieves over the troubles, but doesn’t acknowledge their rebellion which caused it.

“For the Lord your God is he that goeth with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.” Deuteronomy 20:4

Such is true in the spiritual world–“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood.” And in these battles, we must arm ourselves with God’s armor. Our flesh cannot fight spiritual battles; we must rely on the Lord.

“He is thy praise, and he is thy God, that hath done for thee these great and terrible things, which thine eyes have seen.”
(Deuteronomy 10:21

“He is thy praise” — when the day is cloudy and it seems my every step is a struggle. When my hopes are dashed. When others praise me for something I could only accomplish through Him. Is He indeed my praise in ALL things?

“But if from thence thou shalt seek the Lord thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul.” Deuteronomy 4:29

So often, we get imprisoned by “how far we’ve gone” that we never stop where we are to seek God. But God promises when we seek Him “from thence” (where we are at that moment) with our whole heart, we will find Him.

“Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour.
Father, glorify Thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.” 
(John 12:27-28)

When we face temptations and testings, how often we pray for God to relieve our pain, to ease the fiery trail, to remove from us suffering. And, in doing so, our focus is funneled on our pain, our suffering, our misery, and never on God and whether or not He is glorified. Where is my focus–the pain, or the glory of God?

“Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not Mine, but His that sent me.”
(John 7:16)

We would do well to test the doctrines to which we cling. It is easy to get swept into the doctrines of men and then cling to it with a vice-grip, not even weighing it against God’s Word to see if the doctrine is of God. A good test is to consider verse 18, “He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.”

Whose glory are we seeking? When someone contradicts a doctrine (or belief, conviction) that we cling to, what is our reaction? Are we grieved because such does not glorify God — or merely upset and try to prove that our way is right?
