The Highest Law August 7, 2015

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

Deuteronomy 29:29     The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may follow all the words of this law.

Zephaniah 3:2     She obeys no one, she accepts no correction. She does not trust in the LORD, she does not draw near to her God.

Romans 4:23     The words "it was credited to him" were written not for him alone,

Romans 15:4     For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through the endurance taught in the Scriptures and the encouragement they provide we might have hope.

2 Peter 1:20     Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet's own interpretation of things.

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.
