A Look at the Book #364

The Devotional


Papa “J” and his thoughts?

Can a fool speak with knowledge and wisdom? Yes, but only if the fool acknowledges that Jesus Christ is the LORD of his or her life. What a glorious difference Jesus has made in my life! Proverbs 14:7

Have you not noticed commercials lately? There are more commercials on the current media carriers then there are programs to watch and there are more programs that promote sex, hard core comedy and violence then ever before. Even commercials are full of improper acts of violence and sex. Most would say... “that is normal, for the days in which we live!” But I tell you something that is not a secret. Written over nineteen hundred years ago by the apostle Peter are these words. Knowing this first: that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts, and saying, “Where is the promise of His coming?” 2 Peter 3:3-4a. Are you one who is scoffing this very moment as you read this? It is so painful to see people scoffing at God, rejecting His love and laughing at eternity as if there is no existence after the grave. The flood that covered the world, was nearly six thousand years ago, most young people today have never heard of the flood that wiped out the world's civilization. In those days people were doing exactly as they are doing today. Also as that hour in history was not known to the world then to be upon them. So it is with the soon coming Day of the LORD, but you can be warned and you can read all about it. It really is laced in the current news, the current television programming and even in the commercials. Or you can also read a more accurate account in 2 Peter 3:10-13.

CERTAIN PSALMS OF INTEREST

For the time being I thought we could look at some of the Psalms. When I first came to know that God loved me and had a plan for my life there were a few sections of the Bible that God placed in front of my face. The Book of Job, believed to have been written by Moses, but really the author is unknown; Psalm 1, the writer also is unknown; Psalm 37; 38; 51; 90 and 139. These are Psalms of David except Psalm 90 that was written by Moses. We will look at these Psalms!

Scoffers and sinners are people we do not hear much about these days, so if you are a thinking person, you must ask yourself this question. Why do I not hear (if I go to church) the man behind the pulpit talk about scoffing at God and Sin? The truth is that many churches today treat scoffing and sin as if it does not exist. Well now wait just a minute! If that is true, then maybe this is just a blight on the harvest of people on the planet and soon people like me will have nothing to talk about because the blight will be removed by the reformed theology of humanism.

Psalm One will reveal to us that the scoffer and the ungodly will be removed along with the sin. Also Psalm One will reveal that there is a way for the righteous in God to go and that God is the only one who knows the way. He has revealed that way to the righteous and if you do not know the way, then you are traveling down the wrong road. Psalm 1:6 and John 14:1-6 explains the right road.
