The Highest Law

July 3, 2013

All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable . . .
–2 Timothy 3:16

The men who framed our Constitution knew they were writing the basic document for a government of free men; they recognized that men could live as free and independent beings only if each one knew and understood the law. They were to know their rights, their privileges, and their limitations. They were to stand as equals before the court of law, and few judges could be unfair; for the judge, too, was bound by the same law and required to try each case accordingly. . . . As the Constitution is the highest law of the land, so the Bible is the highest law of God. For it is in the Bible that God sets forth His spiritual laws. It is in the Bible that God makes His enduring promises. It is in the Bible that God reveals the plan of redemption for the human race.

Prayer for the day

Almighty God, each day our nation and we, the people, face so many crises. May each one of us seek wisdom through Your Word, the Bible.

We all face so many crises each day,.....but there has a way out, THE LIVING WORD, THE LAW OF THE LORD......! People can bow down to all kinds of filthy things,......why cannot bow down to the LAW OF THE LORD,.....?

How could this be measured the same as the law of God through His Word?..."The men who framed our Constitution knew they were writing the basic document for a government of free men; they recognized that men could live as free and independent being."

Father God. I pray for this world to wake up and realize that we are nothing without you and nothing will change for the better until we all work together to make it that way. Need to pray like never before. Please pray for a healing for me. Blessing

I pray, Heavenly Father, for the people of the United States of America to realize that we are to first be governed by You, our Sovereign King of Kings. For only then will we have the ability to live out the guidelines set in the Constitution by our founding fathers. In the name of Jesus, Amen.

Next to God's atoning gift of his Son for us at Calvary , the Bible , his Holy inspired Word is the best gift God has given mankind. Read it and meditate on it daily .Then allow the great truths found in it to guide your life. It is the only road map that will lead you to inner peace, joy and spiritual contentment.
