Who Told You That?

Next Question.

 May the 11th I posted Fig Leaves proffering the question, Where are you?.

Today it’s Who Told You That.
You can find this question and many others in Beth Moore’s study book The Quest. I recommend it!

A note found in my copy of said study book is I can find my way if I answer GOD’s questions regarding any given situation.

Where are you?
Who told you that?
What are you seeking?
Why are you afraid?
How much more?

Who told you that?

Genesis 3:11  (TLV) 11 Then He said, “Who told you that you are naked? Have you eaten from the Tree from which I commanded you not to eat?” source

Try it. On any given belief or value.
Who told you abortion was not death to a womb baby?
Who told you she meant this when she said that? 
Who told you he always does this to me?
Who told you you never do anything right?
Who told you it won’t hurt just this once? But it did.

The source of the telling matters.
Consider the Source.

And how many sources are there at the root of any given issue, question or belief?
Two. Three at the most.
GOD. Satan. Human  (Ephesians 6:12; I John 4:1, 2)

And how many of these sources can you safely trust?

How Rude!

And it read: 11 I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. Philippians 4 source

And I said, ‘have I?’ Have I learned to be content whatever the circumstance?

Prove it. List how content you are! Name how well you responded to    THIS   and THIS   and THAT!

Mind your own business! 

I AM!

The month of May; the month I think about baggage. It’s the time a certain beloved man said,”I don’t need any baggage.” and I said, “Well, I got some.”

Baggage. We don’t have to live long on the planet before it begins to collect. Some have no memory of a time without baggage. But that’s another story.

Baggage. It clutters our relationships, often to suffocation and divorce.

Why?

Because there is One Baggage Handler and we often refuse to check our baggage with HIM. We just keep carrying it on-board every relationship, every marriage.

Baggage. It makes us thin-skinned and eventually mean spirited. I see it everywhere. At times in the mirror.
Thin-skinned and mean spirited. That’s when our baggage becomes OUR SIN. Baggage most often begins as someone else’s sin perpetrated upon us. And we pick it up and trudge on.

Why?

Baggage makes us projectors. Into each relationship we project what was – expecting . . .  and we are disappointed. Why? Because he/she/we cannot measure up to those projections. None of us!
And we all do it! ALL!

Why?

That’s a good question.

Here’s another one. Why do we refuse to check our baggage with THE BAGGAGE HANDLER?  (pic borrowed)

I know the answer to that one!
It has to do with how our mirror is facing. In or out. Oh. And our Bibles. Are they facing us or facing out?

Got it? Yep! Square in my face!

How are you? We answer it with varied responses.
I’m good. I’m tired. I’m busy. I’m _____________ fill in the blank.

Do you know the first question GOD asked mankind?
Do you know HE asked other questions? Have you answered them?  Do you know what they are? Would you like to know?

Genesis 3: 9 Then Adonai Elohim called to the man and He said to him, “Where are you?” source

Where are you? A most important question. Do you know where you are? Do I know where I am?
Well, Adam and Eve where in the Garden when THE LORD GOD asked. He knew. But did they? Where is more than a geographical location. How many of you know you can be here, present, but far, far away?

So where are you? Where are you with GOD? Where you are with Him determines where you are with me and all others in your world.

So where are you? Adam and Eve were naked – so GOD clothed them.  And they RECEIVED the coverings He offered. He is still offering. Who is receiving?

Genesis 3: 21 Adonai Elohim made Adam and his wife tunics of skin and He clothed them. source

In order for Adam and Eve to receive GOD’s Covering for them they had to come out from hiding — this has not changed.  Many in our world are hiding from GOD under fig leaves of their own making – are you one of them?

Genesis 3 .  It’s all there. Click and read.

Oh, the other questions GOD has asked? 
To Be Continued . . .
