Devotional Life Right and Just and Fair

 

Devotional Life

Right and Just and Fair

There is a cry in our streets

The cry has been there before, but never as loud

The cry is for Right, Just and Fair

But do those crying in the streets know what is Right, Just and Fair?

The spin of politics and the media causes us to question

Does anyone know what is Right, Just and Fair?

The cry has become a cry of hate and violence

Anger has distorted the ability to think

Agendas are taking advantage and exploiting tragedy

The cry for Right, Just and Fair is taking us farther from what we are looking for

Proverbs 2 gives us the answer and verse 9 – 11 sums it up 

Then you will understand what is right and just and fair — every good path.

For wisdom will enter your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul.

Discretion will protect you, and understanding will guard you.

This is the essence of devotional time

If you are spending devotional time with God

you are receiving the answers to the cries in the streets

The World, America, your Community need the wisdom, knowledge and understanding 

You get from the Father who created us all  

 

 

Right and Just and Fair

 

There is a cry in our streets.

 

The cry has been there

before, but never as loud.

 

The cry is for Right, Just and Fair.

 

But do those crying in the streets

know what is Right, Just and Fair?

 

The spin of politics and the media

causes us to question does anyone

know what is Right, Just and Fair?

 

The cry has become a cry of hate and violence.

 

Anger has distorted the ability to think.

 

Agendas are taking advantage

and exploiting tragedy.

 

The cry for Right, Just and Fair

is taking us farther from

what we are looking for.

 

Proverbs 2:9 says there is a way to

understand what is Right, Just and Fair…

  

Then you will understand what is right

and just and fair — every good path.

 

So how can we find the answer

for the cry in our streets?

 

Verse 1 of Proverbs 2 starts out with…

 

“My son”

 

There is something special about a good father.

 

A father wants the best for his children.

 

God who created us male and female,

every ethnic group, comes from God’s

creation in the Garden of Eden.

 

James 1 says the Father has chosen to

give us birth through the Word of Truth.

 

God so loved the world.

 

 He made a way for the creation of Adam

and Eve’s family to become God’s family.

 

Although Solomon is writing to his

son in Proverbs 2, we can read this

as God, the Father writing to us.

 

To understand what is Right, Just and

Fair, we are instructed as sons to…

 

Store up my commands within you

turning your ear to wisdom

applying your heart to understanding

call out for insight

cry aloud for understanding

 

Search for wisdom, understanding and

insight, discernment or discretion.

 

 Search as if it were as

valuable as gold or silver.

 

All this will lead to a healthy fear

of the Lord and knowledge of God.

 

It is with this healthy fear…

 

 We find the Lord gives us wisdom,

knowledge, and understanding.

 

The Lord then demonstrates…

     

Victory for the upright

A shield for those whose walk is blameless

Guards the course of the just

And protects the way of his faithful ones

 

This is the devotional life.

 

God wants to reveal to you

what is Right, Just and Fair.

 

He wants you and I to spend time with Him

so we can see He is to be revered as our Father.

 

 Verse 9 – 11 sums it up…

  

Then you will understand what is right and just

and fair — every good path.

For wisdom will enter your heart,

and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul.

Discretion will protect you,

and understanding will guard you.

 

This is the essence of devotional time.

 

If you are spending devotional time with God…

 

 You are receiving the answers

to the cries in the streets.

 

The World, America, your Community

need the wisdom, knowledge and understanding

you get from the Father who created us all.

  

 

 

Scripture Reading

 

Proverbs 2:1-11 NIV

 

My son, if you accept my words

and store up my commands within you,

2 turning your ear to wisdom

and applying your heart to understanding,

and cry aloud for understanding,

4 and if you look for it as for silver

and search for it as for hidden treasure,

5 then you will understand the fear of the LORD

and find the knowledge of God.

6 For the LORD gives wisdom,

and from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.

he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless,

and protects the way of his faithful ones.

 

9 Then you will understand what is right and just

and fair — every good path.

and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul.
