That’s Him

4 Comments

You know how when you have lived with your spouse for some years and you have invested yourselves in each other; you are familiar?
So much so when he is in the outfield and you came late to the stands, you know it is him out there. You can’t see the lines of his face; you can’t make out his chin but you know that’s him.  Even from a distance, a long-distance facing his back, you just know.  That’s him.

Why —  you could even pick him out from a line up seeing only his hands or feet. That’s how well you know him.  
And why is that? Why do you know him so well?
That’s easy. Years of togetherness have taught you.

GOD wants us to know Him even better than this. 
He wants us to recognize His hands, His path, His face, and His heart. 

It’s important, don’t you think, that we can say of HIM, I recognize that Hand. I know this Path. This Direction is surely His. Even when we are looking through a glass darkly we must know that’s HIM. 

How do we do this? 
Years of Togetherness. 

Conversation. Investment. LOVE. 

ALL relationships require it. 
And NO relationship is more needed or more complete than the one we have with Father GOD.

So how close do you have to be before you can say, That’s HIM! 

Isaiah 1:18-31 Complete Jewish Bible

18 “Come now,” says Adonai,
“let’s talk this over together.
Even if your sins are like scarlet,
they will be white as snow;
even if they are red as crimson,
they will be like wool.
19 If you are willing and obedient,
you will eat the good of the land;
20 but if you refuse and rebel,
you will be eaten by the sword”;
for the mouth of Adonai has spoken.  source

STOP!

Leave a comment

STOP!

A most important word.
Full of power and comfort.
When used in conjunction with Scripture.

2 Corinthians 10:5  (NKJV) 5 casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,  source

When renegade thoughts invade with intent, stop is a refuge for deliverance.
Just that simple word spoken with the authority of the Blood of JESUS will shut the mouths of lions seeking YOU to devour.
Say it out loud.
Experience casting down those crippling, haunting, malicious thoughts.
Stop.

1 Peter 5:8 (NKJV) 8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. source

Stop!

Use it today.
You will surely need it.
I did.
That’s how I was prompted to share it with you this morning.
Happy Sunday!

Personality Tests

Leave a comment
Just a little Sunday afternoon considered opinion to be taken or left as the reader wills. :)
 
Personality tests, seeking to discover who we are along with the gifts, talents, even our hidden potential, and the like seem particularly popular on social media.
Admittedly, it’s fun, intriguing, enticing even, and the results from time to time even ring a bell or two. 

Albeit, for us seriously desiring to know who we are perhaps we would read The Bible.
There without fail, not only do we learn who we are but who we can become and how to get there.
 
The Bible.
The only fully accurate personality test available.
And so readily available – no app needed – just take it down from the shelf, open, read, learn, live.
