OUR DAILY MANNA DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY
Precept is defined as, a commandment, an authoritative rule for action; in the Scriptures generally, a divine injunction in which man’s obligation is set forth (Latin praeceptum, from praecipere, “to instruct”). Four words are so rendered in the King James Version. (1) mitzvah, very frequently (168 times) translated “commandment, but 4 times precept” (in the Revised Version (British and American) and only in Jeremiah 35:18;
Daniel 9:5); (2) from the same root is tsaw, or tsaw (Isaiah 28:10,13); (3) pigquehim, only in the Psalms (21 times in Psalm 119, e.g. verses 4,15,27; also the Revised Version (British and American) Psalm 19:8; 103:18; 111:7); (4) in the New Testament, entole, generally in the King James Version translated “commandment” (68 times), but twice “precept” (Mark 10:5; Hebrews 9:19; in both cases the Revised Version (British and American) substitutes “commandment’).
In summary, precept is a guiding principle or rule that is used to control, influence or regulate conduct. Hudson Taylor, who spent 50 years as a missionary in China in the 19th century, wrote: “It doesn’t matter how great the pressure is; what really matters is where the pressure lies. Whether it comes between you and God or presses you nearer His heart.” So, in most cases, God allows PRESSURES into our lives in order to teach us PRECEPT FOR LIVING! So, PRESSURES ARE FOR PRECEPTS!

So, whether you are in the midst of your darkest days, or your dark days are behind you, or ahead of you, you need to cling to this truth: God will not allow a battle that will not teach you a PRECEPT! Hard times don’t erase God’s promises! Harsh treatments don’t escape God’s notice! Heavy tests don’t eclipse God’s concern! We desperately need God every moment of our lives, but we are more acutely aware of our need for the Lord during our most difficult and dark times.
Catch this: God’s deliverance may not happen according to our timetable or in the manner we expect, but it will happen at the right time and in the right way. Today’s Psalm talks about MERCY producing victory in battles! The story of Moses is inspiring, but it is completed! BUT YOUR STORY continues to be written DAILY through every allowed battle of your life, family and ministry!
May we continue to become the followers and leaders of the Lord that are used for His purposes and glory – both in good times and bad times. HOLD ON AND HOLD OUT!
