The value of God’s wisdom is incomparable. Wisdom of God
brings enlargement to our lives. We are to see through His eyes &
understand. His kingdom is moving & enlarging. As it does, the purposes for
our lives will enlarge our capacity. We
are given a greater ability to see through His eyes as we humble ourselves to
read & spend time in His presence.
Proverbs
8: 20- 26 NKJV 20 I
traverse the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of justice, 21
That I may cause those who love me to inherit wealth, that I may fill their
treasuries.
22 The LORD
possessed me at the beginning of His way, before His works of old. 23 I have
been established from everlasting, from the beginning, before there was ever an
earth. 24 When there were no depths I was brought
forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water. 25 Before the mountains were settled, before the
hills, I was brought forth; 26 While as yet He had
not made the earth or the fields, or the primal dust of the world.
The power of God is the inherent characteristic of
God. His nature is inherent power. We can see that in His creation.
Revealed in
Jeremiah 10:12-18 Amplified
Bible, 12 God made the earth by His power; He established the world by His
wisdom and by His understanding & skill stretched out the heavens. 13 When
He utters His voice, there is a tumult of waters in the heavens, & He
causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth. He makes lightnings for
the rain & brings forth the wind out from His treasuries & from His
storehouses. 14 Every man has become like a brute, irrational & stupid,
without knowledge [of God]; every goldsmith is brought to shame by his graven
idols; for his molten images are frauds and falsehood, & there is no breath
in them. 15 They are devoid of worth, usefulness or truth, a work of delusion
and mockery; in their time of trial & punishment they shall [helplessly]
perish. 16 The Portion of Jacob [the true God on Whom Israel has a claim] is not
like these, for He is the Fashioner and Maker of all things, and Israel is the
tribe of His inheritance----the Lord of hosts is His name. 17 Gather up your
bundle [of baggage] from the ground, O you who dwell under siege. 18 For thus
says the Lord: Behold, I will sling out the inhabitants of the land at this
time and will bring distress on them, that they may feel it and find it [to be
as I have said, and turn to Me.].
Keep what God commanded has us as to those boundaries of safety in Him. There is nothing created on earth that can come close to displaying God or our Lord Jesus Christ. These two are unique indeed. They come from beyond this physical realm we know so well. They are the absolute. They are the pure and undefiled. They are eternal. Yet the idol is a something or a someone of any other realm that man can make and can value. But we are to give to God rightfully what belongs to Him and that is worship to our Creator.
Ask yourself today if there are any idols in your life. Ask God by His Holy Spirit to direct you into seeing what you might have created as "an idol". For some it could be a hobby or for others it could be that band where you can exhibit your talent with the bass guitar.
What is that which spurs you into tomorrow? Is it God and to know Him and His love for you and yours or is it to make a name for you? This year was the year I got back into exercising and it consists of a lawnmower and a big yard. It was to get back out into the light of day and expend some energy to actually tone up some muscles that needed some real help. When one is ill and taken out of the daily living cycle, one can get depressed, and lose interest in life. That is why God's word is so important so that we can see daily the life He has for us from that living word. Getting back to eating the right foods and drinking plenty of good water, and exercise I have found more energy but I also find I have to watch & make certain that cutting the grass every week is not becoming an idol to me.
Paul wrote this: Romans 1:25....who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, & worshiped & served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
There should be no wrath for the children of God. And why? Because we find this from Paul: 1 Thessalonians 1:9-10 NKJV For they themselves declare concerning us what manner of entry we had to you, & how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God, 10 and to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, even Jesus who delivers us from the wrath to come.
Will I consider the verse above and remember turning to God is turning to the living and the true? For with all the false narratives and created lies and deceit, I would rather have life in God than in what some news programs can speak out as the pompous and blasphemous horn of hate to many men even though we all have the same blood given to us by the One true God. And the next time I cut the grass in the backyard, I will remember I got to do it because God met me in the early morning hours of March 18, 2015 to keep me alive to enjoy another beautiful day in the sun and give Him praise for His goodness to me in the land of the living.
Will you consider what might overpower you to worship it? For me, I will not worship green grass!
