An Idea Borrowed

Years ago on a radio program someone shared that they read a chapter in Proverbs every day. Since there are 31 chapters and the longest month has 31 days it allows you to read through Proverbs on a regular basis. I use it as the launch pad for my personal worship time and branch out from there. On this blog I will try to share some of the insights I have in the Word. I will try to organize them in the archive by reference.

So That

Psalms 119:146 (KJV) I cried unto thee; save me, and I shall keep thy testimonies.

(Proverbs 4 also read)

For those of you who live in the world that divides the Old Testament from the New, take a look at the order here of grace and works.  Even in the days of David, you see a call first to be saved, and then the keeping of the law.  This comes through more clearly in the KJV.  Both are required.  Neither is optional.  But we first must be touched by the grace and power of God.  Only then, our actions is counted as righteousness.

There is no division in God’s eyes.  Like someone said:  Without Him we cannot, and without us, He will not.

So?  Live under grace and live in obedience.
