Church, what many think is a blessing, but actually it’s you. And what is a blessing don’t last, because the missing of a standard, or lack of a standard. Isaiah 55:6; Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: v7; Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. He lost the standard! 1 Samuel 13:11; And Samuel said, What hast thou done? And Saul said, Because I saw that the people were scattered from me, and that thou camest not within the days appointed, and that the Philistines gathered themselves together at Michmash; Here he allowed people to mess with the standard. v12; Therefore said I, The Philistines will come down now upon me to Gilgal, and I have not made supplication unto the Lord: I forced myself therefore, and offered a burnt offering. Then you get in your flesh doing the Lord, and that standard don’t stand up. He allowed what supposingly should have been cut off, to resurface at Gilgal, a place flowing with milk and honey, Joshua 5th chapter. 1 Samuel 13:13; And Samuel said to Saul, Thou hast done foolishly: thou hast not kept the commandment of the Lord thy God, which he commanded thee: for now would the Lord have established thy kingdom upon Israel for ever. v14; But now thy kingdom shall not continue. This is a good example of people doing the Lord their way. John 10:1; Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. “It Is The Standard!” 1 Corinthians 10:12; Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall. v23; All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not. “It Is The Standard!” 2 Corinthians 13:5; Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates. “It Is The Standard!” Galatians 6:3; For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself. “It Is The Standard!” Isaiah 55:8; For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. v9; For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. Isaiah 35:8; And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein. “It Is The Standard!” Teaching!
