The Devotional – 1492 – God alone is Absolute Truth

Psalm 119:137-144 – Righteous are You, O Lord, and upright are Your judgments. Your testimonies, which You have commanded, are righteous and very faithful. My zeal has consumed me, because my enemies have forgotten Your words. Your word is very pure; therefore Your servant loves it. I am small and despised, yet I do not forget Your precepts. Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and Your law is truth. Trouble and anguish have overtaken me, yet Your commandments are my delights. The righteousness of Your testimonies is everlasting; give me understanding, and I shall live.

 

Comments and Challenges:

The world is full of experts on relativism. At first I thought that the word might not exist and was hoping that it did not; however I did find this definition.  a) A theory that knowledge is relative to the limited nature of the mind and the conditions of knowing. b) a view that ethical truths depend on the individuals and groups holding these truths. (Webster’s Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary). 

Also I thought that it would not be fair to the word “relativism” if there were no such word as absolutism… so guess what? Here is the definition from the same dictionary on “absolutism” a) A political theory that absolute power should be vested in one or more rulers. b) a government by an absolute ruler or authority.

For me, neither of these definitions; even though “theories” are worthy of the paper and ink wasted to print as these do not reveal a clear understanding of TRUTH or POWER.  Nor do these express what could or could not be RIGHT or WRONG. With this I decided that a further or deeper investigation into the secular world of WORDS would be necessary and truly I was beginning to feel as though I was wading through someone’s backyard cesspool. 

The word “justice was linked to the word righteousness” I thought too quickly and said great; but soon found that this was only to say that in a religious definition of these two words that any decision religiously; like being free of guilt because of sin was an outraged sense of morality or justice. So I looked up “Outraged” a) an act that violates accepted standards of behavior or taste. b) a deficiency to propriety or good taste, or exceeding the limits of what is “USUAL”. Well, it is outrageous to think otherwise since forgiveness does go beyond the usual.

Psalm 119:137-144 – Righteous are You, O Lord, and upright are Your judgments. Your testimonies, which You have commanded, are righteous and very faithful. My zeal has consumed me, because my enemies have forgotten Your words. Your word is very pure; therefore Your servant loves it. I am small and despised, yet I do not forget Your precepts. Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and Your law is truth. Trouble and anguish have overtaken me, yet Your commandments are my delights. The righteousness of Your testimonies is everlasting; give me understanding, and I shall live.

 

The Judgments of God are “straight up” and Righteous, God’s Justice does not bend to the left or the right. The Testimonies of God reveal His faithfulness and righteousness to all of mankind and the disappointment of my word search reveals that man has purposely laid aside God’s absolutes and the world has forgotten His Words. Men and women, let me just say once again (are you listening) God’s Word is VERY PURE and this servant loves (I Love) His Word. Also, I have determined to be small and despised among the nations secular definitions of right and wrong, I do not want to forge (counterfeit) or forget His Precepts.

The Righteousness of God has only ONE definition; “get this” it is an “EVERLASTING RIGHTEOUSNESS” as is the LAW of GOD so is the TRUTH of GOD. – ETERNALLY fixed as a STATUTE of GOD, unbroken by man and secured in Christ’s Resurrection from the grave. Understanding and trusting the gospel of God is more than the outrageous doctrines of man and his religions. Righteousness, Justice, the Law, the Commandments, the Statutes, the Precepts and the Testimonies of God are revealed by the grace of God to bring joy and confidence to those who love Him, John 14:23-24.
