Freedom from the world's cares comes at the final victory.

Proverbs 4:2   “For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not my law.”

            Speaking to children in Christ here Solomon continues explaining why wisdom and understanding God’s Word is so important. He tells them to come like children in order to learn about these things of the kingdom. Regardless of age he tells them to attend closely in these early years in Christ so as to get His wisdom and understanding.

            Many of the laws today are predicated on human history and experience rather than attending to the wisdom and understanding of God. Abortion, Christian education, banking deceit, health care reform, gay rights, entitlements, taxes, Social Security, exporting work overseas, and many other agendas dictate how we must live our lives day by day.

            But, Praise the Lord, we can no that all of God’s laws are built on good doctrine. We can be assured that His way –the final victory –is already determined. We can live our personal lives divorced from bad laws simply by our response to them.

We love you today, Lord, and look forward to the time when all corrections are complete. Help us, Lord, to respect the ones you have put in charge but to stand up individually where your laws are violated. For your service we live.   Amen.
