Second, was not drinking all the soda pop I wanted .....no! What I desired was to watch Twilight Zone, Outer Limits, and oh yes.....Star Trek!
Well, today my priority is far from those things. We certainly choose to go to bed earlier when we should. We try to stay with a healthy diet,and particularly eat no fruit after 7 p.m. and we will walk or exercise when we can!
Seriously though, our growing up into the man or woman that God has created for us to do, certainly takes the stage of the most important priority!
Today we have grown to know the word of God and explore all of His generous riches to us. In our life we have seen those things to avoid. In finding God and truth, takes a humble spirit, one willing to be taught and to know that God is greater than all. Humility does not mean weak! Jesus was humble and teachable of the things of God. When we have His word, we gain this confidence in God and it will show when we speak out for His glory and His praise. No, it is not in praising us for what we speak about us, but what is giving as glory to God Himself. It is our testimony.
Willing to admit mistakes is a benefit to us. And when we willing admit to the Father, He hears.
Where God has gone, and done is an unknown territory for me and most likely for you. We must leave the familiar behind and seize that which lies before us. As we grow in Him and embrace each new level, our capacity increases for more of His kingdom. It is taken by faith in our spirit man. Oh yes, did I mention it is hidden from those prideful eyes?
No sci-fi features have a hold on me anymore. I look toward Him and no one can stand against Him!
Proverbs 30:5-6
5 Every word of God is pure;riches,
He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him.
6 Do not add to His words,
Lest He rebuke you, and you be found a liar.
NKJV
Psalm 145:17-21
17 The LORD is righteous in all His ways,
Gracious in all His works.
18 The LORD is near to all who call upon Him,
To all who call upon Him in truth.
19 He will fulfill the desire of those who fear Him;
He also will hear their cry and save them.
20 The LORD preserves all who love Him,
But all the wicked He will destroy.
21 My mouth shall speak the praise of the LORD,
And all flesh shall bless His holy name
Forever and ever.
NKJV
God our Father needs no help from us. He does well as the Creator of the Heavens and Earth. He knows our end from the beginning.
Isaiah 46:9-13
9 Remember the former things, those of long ago;
I am God, and there is no other;
I am God, and there is none like me.
10 I make known the end from the beginning,
from ancient times, what is still to come.
I say: My purpose will stand,
and I will do all that I please.
11 From the east I summon a bird of prey;
from a far-off land, a man to fulfill my purpose.
What I have said, that will I bring about;
what I have planned, that will I do.
12 Listen to me, you stubborn-hearted,
you who are far from righteousness.
13 I am bringing my righteousness near,
it is not far away;
and my salvation will not be delayed.
I will grant salvation to Zion,
my splendor to Israel. NIV
His purpose has stood. He sent His son and we have salvation. He sent His love to bring us closer to Him. His splendor is His glory. His beauty, well, it takes my breath away.
John 6:29
"This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent."
NKJV
Yes, the Lord reigns. He is clothed with majesty. He is girded with strength.
Psalm 93
The LORD reigns, He is clothed with majesty;
The LORD is clothed,
He has girded Himself with strength.
Surely the world is established, so that it cannot be moved.
2 Your throne is established from of old;
You are from everlasting.
NKJV
From everlasting to everlasting is a long time! Have any idea what you might do in that length of time.......that which is in God is a place in Him with no time clocks, Listen now and watch closely, the Lord, the King of Kings is on His return. Clothed in His glory, we will rule with Him. He remembers those who are His! Not one of them is lost!
Now is not the time to sit idle. Now is the time to be done with that warrior attitude. Take His word and mount on His wings. Our hope is in the LORD. We renew our strength daily, and we soar. With Him we will run and not be weary. With Him we will walk and not be faint. (Isaiah 40:31)
The true, the eternal of God is life given us through His son. Quality of life will not be found in anything less. Faith in Him, is knowing Who He is, What He has done for humankind and calls us to take serious notice.
In a self-evaluation, have we truly given our lives to Him Who SAVES? In that which coming to pass shortly, will we be found with Him, Who is life, beauty, strength, and Who is from everlasting?
Let go of those who have hurt you in the past. Be convinced God has a godly purpose for you. Ask Him to help you see from His perspective. You are valued. Allow His image to be reflected in you.
Adventures will come, and time, well, it will not matter, because it is His heart that we are after, right? So let us be found with Him. Amen!
