Day 16

December 22 Psalm 16 Proverb 16 Acts 16
(Psalm 16) The Lord is my inheritance. The world seeks after so many things that do not fulfill. Their gods do not hear them. So many people see after fulfillment and satisfaction from things other than what we were created to be fulfilled by. Self promotion is a curse from the devil. People get so caught up in trying to get what they think they deserve. This is insidious and a plague that will rob us from what we were actually created to have. If the church could be of singular minded and heavenly focused all this idolatry would fall by the way side and then we may see the Kingdom of God. Yet then, as now, men worship at other idols and sacrifice to foreign gods. Though not rams and goats, we sacrifice our inheritance for a bigger house and our children for more money.
(Proverbs 16) How much better to get wisdom than gold! Yet so few want wisdom. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and people these days only fear the devil. They cry out to God but only for Him to fulfill their lusts and desires. This the carnality that consumes the people of God and the day is coming when it will end.
(Acts 16) The Holy Spirit forbid them to preach in Asia. Paul was holy given to the leading of the Spirit. I wonder how many people today spend all their prayer time on things that God did not tell them to do.
