He is able to keep you, keep your eyes on Him.
Judges 21 / 2-3John-Jude
How to get the most out of Hungry Bible
OT
Judges 21:25 In those days Israel had no king, so the people did whatever seemed right in their own eyes.
NT
2John:6 Love means doing what God has commanded us, and he has commanded us to love one another, just as you heard from the beginning.
Jude:24 And now, all glory to God, who is able to keep you from stumbling, and who will bring you into his glorious presence innocent of sin and with great joy.
OT Flash Points
Silly and destructive:
The natural ways and end of people with only themselves as their standard,
walking according to their own fancies
NT Flash Points
Doing our own thing is neurosis, lawlessness
62% of all Americans have diagnosable mental illness
50% of all hospital beds are filled with mental cases
If we have no standard that points to God, we are, by definition, mentally ill
Perspective
The passion of Patience – source: the vision of God …”endured as seeing the invisible One”
If we have only our experience, we have nothing
Beware of resting on it
Get the vision
It is more than experience – it is revelation
