How Do You Read It?

Leave a comment

My Bible was open on my desk. I looked down and began to read without turning a page.

Habakkuk 2. 

I read it in the NASB. In the Message Bible. In the New Living Translation. In all three, the message is the same  – the Nation that forgets God is doomed to destruction.

3 “For the vision is yet for the appointed time; It hastens toward the goal and it will not fail. Though it tarries, wait for it; For it will certainly come, it will not delay.
via Hab 2 NASB – God Answers the Prophet – I will stand – Bible Gateway.

Choose your translation and tell me what you see.  Particularly in the New Living Translation, verse 12 do you think of Planned Parenthood (and abortion mill ‘physicians’) getting rich on the blood of aborted babies? In verse 4 do you see politicians?

In verse 1 of the NASB do you see us standing guard; waiting to hear from ABBA; waiting to hear what directives He will give us to aid in the rescue those who will listen? I did. And I wonder when I will act instead of just talk (and write).

There are prayers to pray! Praying (PFT) is breathing for Christians. Breathe RED!

to meditate on today (yesterday too) and perhaps tomorrow.  Which are yours?

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

16 Rejoice always;
17 pray without ceasing;
18 in everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
via I Th 5:16-18 NASB – Rejoice always pray without ceasing in – Bible Gateway

For this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus – He is not talking about that sickness or lack or burden, any of that –His will is for me (for you) to rejoice and pray and give thanks even in sickness or lack or burden as I wait for Him to get me (and you) through to the other side of it. Our ABBA is not the author of evil; however, in His infinite wisdom and perfect love He does allow it for a season. Why? One day we will know. Until then we will trust Him. We will believe and receive His love and His wisdom. That is we do and will if we want to please Him and keep our sanity.

It is rainy in lower Alabama today but HIS face is shining upon us.

2:17! Where has the day gone?? And I still have a trip to the store to make.

Journey. Journey Magazine that is.  If you don’t have access to one and you can, I highly recommend them.  It was asking me questions today.  May I ask the same of you? And will you answer?

In what ways does media influence you?
What do you believe about yourself or others that is a direct result of marketing?

Journey went on to say renewal of the mind is a process of transformation. The media want to transform us from who we are to who ‘they’ desire us to be: People who buy their products so we can be beautiful, skinny, smarter, healthier, enlightened, and so on. And the news media what do they want us to be? Just like them – politically correct.  You know what? I’ve just about had it up to here with politically correct. But that is not where I want to go with this, not today . :)

So tell me. How many of those ‘to be-s’ do you wish to be?

Beautiful?
Me too!  I’ve always wanted to be beautiful, but have never believed (except for one day) I am.  Media helped convince me I am not. Shame on them! Shame on me for believing them. Here’s what I should believe.

Song of Solomon 6:4 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
4 “You are as beautiful as Tirzah, my darling, As lovely as Jerusalem, As awesome as an army with banners.

via Song of Solomon 6:4 NASB – You are as beautiful as Tirzah my – Bible Gateway.

So should you.

Smarter?
Me too!  But let us get real here! Are we really going to allow this sin saturated, money-grubbing, reprobate-minded media to continue to ‘transform’ us or are we going to believe the CREATOR of THE UNIVERSE?! Really!

1 Corinthians 2:16 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
16 For WHO HAS KNOWN THE MIND OF THE LORD, THAT HE WILL INSTRUCT HIM? But we have the mind of Christ.

via 1 Corinthians 2:16 NASB – For WHO HAS KNOWN THE MIND OF THE LORD – Bible Gateway.

Philippians 4:7 King James Version (KJV)
7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

via Philippians 4:7 KJV – And the peace of God which passeth all – Bible Gateway.

And now for the one you have been expecting, the one you can quote and the one we better start acting on. Really!

Romans 12:2 King James Version (KJV)
2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

via Romans 12:2 KJV – And be not conformed to this world but – Bible Gateway.

So! How will you answer Journey’s questions?
