December 24 Psalm 18, Proverbs 18, Acts 18
(Psalm 18) The Lord is a deliverer. You can just see the desperation in this passage. You can almost hear the waves of adversity crashing against the rocks. The beating sun in the spiritual desert when it seems as if all hope is lost. But it isn’t. The psalmist sees that there is an adversay in heaven who is working on our behalf. He sees out affliction and he cares. He is a mighty rescuer and will be with us in our time of need.
(Proverbs 18) The man who isolates himself seeks his own desire and rages against all wise judgement. This is so true. In times of trouble it is a fleshly desire to hide. It is a fleshly desire to hide from people. We want to hide from righteous judgement. The flesh does not want accountability. But that rages against all wise counsel. There is something special about wanting the best even if it hurts. We have to get radical if we want to see the glory of God.
(Acts 18) Get the Holy Ghost. Besides the salvation afforded by the shed bllod of our Lord and Savior, there is not doctrine more important than the Baptism in the Holy Spirit. Apollos taught the scriptures correctly but was lacking. There are so many Christians that are lacking not only in theology but in power. They say they have a high view of scripture but they discount whole chapters of the bible. They teach fleshly ways to holiness. They act as if they can build a tower to get to God but we can’t. We need the Holy Ghost in our lives. We need Him and the power He brings.
