A psalm. A song for the dedication of the house. By David:
I will exalt you, Lord, for you rescued me. You refused to let my enemies triumph over me. O Lord my God, I cried to you for help, and you restored my health. You brought me up from the Sheol, O Lord. You kept me from falling into the pit of death. Sing to the Lord, all you godly ones! Praise his holy name. For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime! Weeping may last through the night, but joy comes with the morning.”

Theology is great, and I believe in theology, which is simply the study of God. What could be more exciting than that?
All theology must be based upon the Word of God. Theology is not an end in itself, but rather points to the One who is greater than theology.When theology becomes an end in itself, it ceases to be a way into the knowledge of God.
What people need today is truth—truth organized in a way that allows us to understand what God is about. The primary problem with theology is that we have organized it according to man’s prejudice. Theology should be the study of God, not our human interpretation of God. That is where we en- counter problems. Is God a Calvinist or is He an Arminian? According to some theology, you must be one or the other. #awtozer #studytoshowthyselfapproved #studyyourbible #biblestudy #leannotonyourownunderstanding #holyspirit #truthseeker #revelation #thetruthwillsetyoufree #eternalgod #creatorgod #holygod #theology #theologymatters #christianquote #thislittlelightofmine #imgonnaletitshine #christiandevotional #renewedmind #growingingrace #learningaboutgod
In undertaking the study of a Bible word, or of a truth of the Christian life, it is a great help to take a survey of the place it takes in Scripture. As we see where, and how often, and in what connections it is found, its relative importance may be apprehended as well as its bearing on the whole of revelation. Let me try in this first chapter to prepare the way for the study of what obedience is, by showing you where to go in God’s Word to find the mind of God concerning it.
1. TAKE SCRIPTURE AS A WHOLE.
We begin with Paradise. In Gen. 2:16, we read: ‘And the Lord God commanded the man, saying.’ And later (3:11), ‘Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?’
Note how obedience to the command is the one virtue of Paradise, the one condition of man’s abiding there, the one thing his Creator asks of him. Nothing is said of faith, or humility, or love: obedience includes all. As supreme as is the claim and authority of God is the demand for obedience as the one thing that is to DECIDE HIS DESTINY.
In the life of man, to obey is the one thing needful. ⬇️⬇️⬇️ #andrewmurray #obedienceschool #obediencetraining #obedienceisbetterthansacrifice #morningdevotional #bibledevotion #biblegram #instabible #messianicjudaism #torahlife #instachristian #beadoer #servantofgod #yeshuahamashiach #shemaisrael #yhvh #dailydevotional #dailydevotion #walkingwithgod #followingjesus #treeoflife #eternallife #savedbygracethroughfaith
Our Lord conditions true happiness not on knowledge alone but on knowledge of His Word plus obedience.
Coleridge says: “Truths, of all others the most awful and interesting, are too often considered as so true that they lose the power of truth, and lie bed-ridden in the dormitory of the soul, side by side with the most despised and exploded errors.” Here lies a fearful peril to us all, that we take for granted the very things God never meant should become a matter of course, and because we know them so well and have heard them so often we assume that what is a fact in our heads is a force in our hearts. May it not be that this is why we never finish the verse, “Be ye doers of the word and not hearers only” by adding the most terrific part of it, deceiving your own selves? We pleasantly assent to a Gospel we ought powerfully to assert. How it needs to be rescued “from the neglect caused by the very circumstance of its universal admission”! What great truth lies bed-ridden in the dormitory of your soul? #vancehavner #gospelofjohn #jesussaid #joyofthelord #doeroftheword #followerofyeshua #yeshuahamashiach #followerofchrist #jesusmessiah #servantofgod #lifeofservice #nogreaterlove #torahlife #shemaisrael #messianicjudaism #preachtheword #obedienceisbetterthansacrifice #biblegram #instagospel #instabible
