Day 152

Apr 1: Psalms 1-8
"Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers.
But his delight is in the law of the Lord and on his law he meditates day and night.
He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in seasons and whose leaf does not wither.
Whatever he does prospers"

I read a good article by Tim Keller on the Authority of Jesus and it asks a lot of good questions. Questions like, "why should we believe that the bible is God's word, written and inspired through the Spirit?" This question leads to more questions such as, why do we obey God's law sometimes but not other times? Do we feel like we can pick and choose which ones to obey and which not to? If we believe in Christ as our Savior, we can't do this. How can we not accept all teachings of our Savior and Creator? Are we wiser than Him? It's so hard to obey in all facets of God's teachings but I think the first steps to doing this is knowing the laws, and then acknowledging that all of the laws are good and true. We can't let our own subjective thinking and past experiences dictate what we follow as far as God's laws goes. God and his laws are the absolute standard to what we should be following in our Christian worldview and there's no arguing that. It's imperative we show our loyalty to Christ through our obedience and when we do, we will prosper and be fruitful.
