A Just Man

I’m Doug Apple...and my heart is on fire! (Luke 24:32) I want to be a just man, like Noah. Genesis says Noah was a just man, and he walked with God. I want to be a just man, like John the Baptist. Mark 6:20 says that Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just man...and holy. I want to be a just man, like Joseph of Arimethea. Luke says, “Now behold, there was a man named Joseph, a council member, a good and just man.” I want to be like that: a good and just man. I want to be a just man like Cornelius. Acts 10:22 says Cornelius the centurion was a just man, one who feared God and had a good reputation. Hardly anyone in the Bible is called “just,” but I want to be like them, a just man. Proverbs 9:9 says, “Teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.” “Lord, I want that. I don’t want to be a fool who can’t learn his lessons. Lord, I want to be a just man who increases in learning.” Proverbs 20:7 says the just man walks in his integrity. His children are blessed. “Lord, I want to be that man, the just man, with integrity, whose children are blessed!” Proverbs 24:16 says a just man falls seven times...and rises up again! “Thank You, Lord, that even if I stumble I will rise up again! By Your Spirit I will keep the faith. I will run the race. I will live for You and love You with all my heart, soul, mind and strength.” “Lord Jesus, I am clay on the wheel. Mold me into the man You want me to be.” A good man. A holy man. A just man. God bless you, today. I’m Doug Apple.
