SEEING AS GOD SEES

 


Happy looking fellow, isn't he? Kind of a blank stare upon that mug. Is he mad? Is he in deep thought? Nope....he simply is. Funny how we take a photo, which is an image of a moment in time, and create and concoct a story of our choosing to define what we see .

We take that photo (which now is 8 years old) and project on it what we think is happening. We have the potential to create and label this photo with our own story and understanding we have created to define it by. I would dare to say that 'pert near 100% of such thinking is wrongly created.

Do we do the same thing with Scripture? Do we read (if we read at all) portions of Scripture, creating our own conversation and definition of what we read?  Yet if you read Hebrews 4:12 - "For the WORD of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires."  O.k....the scripture reveals our innermost thought and desire...so what.

Well, such an exposure shows us whether our thoughts and desires are Godly and lead to life.......or come from out sin/nature and will lead to second death. This exposure, if our intentions are sin fueled, are revealed to us by God's Holy Spirit, giving us a opportunity to either repent and change, or reject and have our heart's grow colder and harder to God's leading.

Consider this today and ask God to reveal His truth to you...

God on you...
