Ps 11:1-3
In the Lord I take refuge. How then can you say to me: "Flee like a bird to your mountain. 2 For look, the wicked bend their bows; they set their arrows against the strings to shoot from the shadows at the upright in heart. 3 When the foundations are being destroyed, what can the righteous do a?"
NIV
David refused to accept bride from the corrupt Nigerian contractor because he insisted doing so will violate the principles of His life, He knew collecting that money would mean selling His authority to ensure proper standards were met in the highway construction he was to supervise as the engineer representing the state.
The principles and philosophies with which you build your life can also be known as the foundations of your life. The foundations of your life as a child of God should be God’s word and the principles of His kingdom (this is summarized in one word- righteousness). This means the only standard of your life is God’s word; these are the principles upon which and around which you build your life. Jesus said ‘ I will show you what he is like who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice. 48 He is like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built’ (Luke 6:47-48 -NIV).
The principles of the kingdom of God should be the anchor and guiding principle of your life. Let God’s word be the only standard for your life. Let his principles be your philosophy.
Go into today knowing that no storm can shake you because you are living according to God’s word.
Prayer: dear heavenly father. I thank you for your word today. I worship you for being the greatest and the highest. Lord I ask that you help me that my faith in your word will never fail; that you keep me in your peace. In Jesus name I pray. Amen
