| Jesus is Returning! |
In today's media highways, journalism does not exist for the most part, but certainly opinions are running rampant. I remember those like Edward R. Murrow who carved a way into making truth known of what was going on in the world, integrity in the marketplace and decisions made that were based more on truth and not on fallacy.
Today, people make-up the news and no two networks will carry the same information. Yikes! Other than One America News, I find some news channels trying to commercialize the news to make more money by creating and passing out lies that can be sold for a high premium.
Truth comes from God and Him alone. We abide in Him to see His kingdom come to earth as it is in Heaven. In His plan or purpose for us .....the family would join to Him and His instruction. The family will be taught by Him, and will rule with Jesus when He returns to take His throne in Jerusalem.
If we truly seek to know truth, then we know a cost is involved. Jesus paid the ULTIMATE price for truth. He gave His blood....to be shed for mankind ..........giving opportunity for others to be a part of His family.
When He returns it will not be about who is right or wrong but where truth abides. Proverbs 12:19 reveals this: NKJV 19 The truthful lip shall be established forever, but a lying tongue is but for a moment. 20 Deceit is in the heart of those who devise evil, but counselors of peace have joy.
Proverbs 12:22 NKJV Lying lips are an abomination to the LORD, but those who deal truthfully are His delight.
It is God's righteousness in us that will guard us through life from the scheme's of the devil. Because life will afflict something to the pilgrim passing through this lifetime. But our home is to be with the Lord.
We are to be where He is. John 14:3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself, that where I am , there you may be also. 4 And where I go you know, and the way you know. John 12:26 If anyone serves Me, let him follow Me; and where I am there My servant will be also. If anyone serves Me, him My Father will honor.
Those trustworthy are given the platform for truth; so too, those who speak lies have one as well. We must know which is the truth and the only way to that is knowing God and relating to Him daily as your Father. We must have that one to one to know what His heart is.
I know in this day that many have been abused by their parents in some way or form. Still we can have the relationship God intends when we look at the life of Jesus and His willingness to obey the Father in all circumstances of His life.
YES, there are those who have no pleasure in understanding. They have a life that dictates entitlements. They speak out by interrupting others, they are given grand presents before they even know the price of those grand things. Had read an article this morning that preschool children are having parties (birthday & other) that represent the price tag of a grand wedding.
The same article also mentioned that middle school age children are taking out rented limousines for their dates....What????
Who is footing the bill? The other thing we should think about is when teaching our children, that rules are to be followed and not broken. Heard recently that most teens and twenty -somethings regard rules as some kind of guideline but you do not have to do it.
Is that right? So it is okay not to study for a driver's test to gain a driver's license to drive legally on the roadways......so any young person can take someone's vehicle and use it as a weapon against others, because in their opinion they did not need that license and without studying it, they have vision of truth in driving. They have no pleasure in understanding!
We are told that understanding is a wellspring of life to him who has it, but correction of fools is folly. The heart of the wise teaches his mouth, and adds learning to his lips. (Proverbs 16:22-23) He who heeds the word wisely will find good, and whoever trusts in the LORD happy is he. 21 the wise in heart will be called prudent, and sweetness of the lips increases learning. (Proverbs 16:20-21)
1 John 5:18-21 NKJV 18 We know that whoever is born of God does not sin; but he who has been born of God keeps himself, and the wicked one does not touch him. 19 We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one. 20 And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us an understanding that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life. 21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols.
The devil had no pleasure in understanding. He operated in pride and lust and fell to earth. So the whole earth is under his rule! (for a short time) Still we should want to know truth and that which is of God and His righteousness. When we abide in Him and walk righteously before Him, we hold to Him and His truth for our lives and our children's lives. Separate from that which is idolatry and serving the world: chasing the quick wealth, the quick party entertainment circle, the quick gratification for there you will only find emptiness and sorrow!
We must labor for that which is life to us and for others..to know God and tell others of the love from Him through His Son Jesus.!
Truly Jesus was the seed planted for mankind that others might come to know God the way Jesus taught in the relationship with HIM!
For even the farmer must work to put his seed in the ground, nourish the soil with needed minerals and water to see his seed to produce a crop. It takes the farmer hours upon hours of sweat, labor and much duty to those seeds to see them come to harvest.
Those who have seen labor and receive that check know so well that which goes into getting that check whether weekly or one time monthly. There is no entitlements! If you put no effort into working with your hands, put no effort into working with other individuals but only partying....with them...that is the only seed you will have a harvest from.........and you really need life through Jesus Christ and not Party Central!
There is a day coming when all eyes will see HIM who they crucified and many will flee to hide themselves in the mountains. Yes, Jesus is returning.....not the Jesus who walked the shores of Galilee but the King of Kings is returning.....and He is described in Revelation!
Revelation 1:12 Then I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. And having turned I saw seven golden lampstands, 13 and in the midst of the seven lampstands One like the Son of Man, clothed with a garment down to the feet and girded about the chest with a golden band. 14 His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and His eyes like a flame of fire; 15 His feet were like fine brass, as if refined in a furnace, and His voice was the sound of many waters; 16 He had in His right hand seven stars, out of His mouth went a sharp two-edged word, and His countenance was like the sun shining in its strength. 17 And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. But He laid His right hand on me, saying to me, " I am the First and the Last. 18 I am He who lives, and was dead and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen.
He is coming in His priestly royalty....not as one of the superheroes like spider-man or some hulking kind of thing, but of God! Surely we should keep to His truth and that walk of life that is truth where there is no shadow of turning.....James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turned. 18 Of His own will He brought us forth by the word of truth, that we might be a kind of first -fruits of His creatures.
Our God is the SOURCE of all good! In taking His instruction we become more like Him. We are to bear the image of our Father who created us and not the image of the world, that has no pleasure in understanding, demanding their own ways and opinions, relishing in moments of rash hysteria in amusement when eternity is on the line.
Seeking truth, we will be found with truth and that is in God alone!
