UV 1003/10,000 Verse by Verse, Degree by degree But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken. Isaiah 28 v 13 For the past thousand days plus or more than three years, the Lord has been revealing His truths verse by verse, precept by precept, line by line and word by word through this uni-verse series of meditations. I have endeavoured to extract nuggets of truths meant to make us effective leaders, managers and people. By reflecting on all the related verses in a concordance I attempt to bring into the uni-verse all the various dimensions of the truth. Each uni-verse contains a management precept or concept that can be easily understood, remembered and applied in our daily lives. Even a single line, a phrase or a word from scripture can open to us the windows of the Lord’s blessings and grace. It can give us insight that whole volumes of other books cannot possibly give. We appropriate His blessings promise by promise. Each promise verse is a commitment from God to be our help. Each command verse reflects a commitment expected from us to do our part. The promises that are wide-ranging and cover the entire spectrum of any man’s needs and challenges in any age are the rights on earth of the citizens of the Kingdom of God. The commands are the duties and obligations of the citizens of the Kingdom of God. The purpose of the uni-verse is so that the children of the Lord go forward and grow in faith and strength, that we do not backslide or loose our first love, that we do not get discouraged or broken, that we are not snared by our own thoughts or desires or trapped by the wiles of the enemy of our souls. The purpose of the uni-verse is to communicate God’s love to us in practical ways. As we intake each verse and line, understand and apply each precept, we will be transformed into the very image of Christ. We are enabled, anointed, equipped, empowered and edified verse by verse, degree by degree, little by little. The Lord does not expect us to take great leaps but to advance little by little. When we keep doing what we can, we will end up doing what we cannot. Prateep V Philip
