The LIVING GOD #DELIGHTS

I had an uncle who could not pass a mirror without stopping to smile/adjust his hair and admire himself!  In this day and time I can only imagine all the #SELFIES which he would post.  What does the #Bible say about all this self adulation?  Prov. 1:22 “How long, you simple ones will you love simplicity?  scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?”  Prov. 18:2 “A fool has no delight in understanding, but that his heart may discover itself”  Ever heard it said, ‘It’s all about #ME’?  Eccles. 5:4 “the LORD takes no DELIGHT in fools”  Prov. 2:6,10,11 “the LORD gives wisdom; when wisdom enters your heart, and knowledge it is pleasant unto your soul; discretion shall preserve you, understanding shall keep you”  Micah 7:18  “Who is a GOD like Thee, who pardons iniquity and passes over the rebellious act of the remnant of His heritage?  He does not retain His anger forever, because GOD DELIGHTS in UNCHANGING LOVE.”

Greater #Love has no man than this:  to lay down one’s life for their friends.  John 15:13

Who did that very thing?  Jesus Christ did.  And who sent Him specifically to do just that?  God, the Father did.  What kind of overwhelming love must He have for us to do that?  What does Psalms says about God’s ability and even eagerness to hear us?  What is the step we need to take to be able to say as the Psalmist does that we have been delivered from death?  How about delivery from tears?  How are we meant to respond to this supernatural gift of love?

The LIVING GOD #DESIRES

Many people enjoy Hallmark stories, so I want to share the greatest love of all.  It is recorded in John 17:24-26 when Jesus said, “Father, I DESIRE that they whom Thou hast given Me, be with Me where I am, in order that they may behold My glory, which Thou gave Me; for Thou did LOVE ME before the foundation of the world.  O righteous Father, although the world has not known Thee, yet I have known Thee; and these have known that Thou did send Me; and I have made Thy name known to them and will make it known; that the LOVE  wherewith Thou did LOVE ME may be in them and I in them..”   “For GOD so LOVED the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life.”  John 3:16

The Greatness Of God

      19820905pm The Greatness Of God - Rev. Tommy Jones

What does #Psalms 139 teach us about the greatness of #God?  In this age of technological achievements, have we become jaded to the amazing character of our creator?  How vast is God’s knowledge of us?  Now multiply that by the billions of people on the planet.  Where can we go that God would not find us?  Is there a deep dark place that God’s light cannot reach?  That would be scary if God was out to smite us as some would have us to believe.  No, God loves us and wants to bring us back to Himself from the dark.  He even sent His only Son to bridge the gap.

The LIVING LORD #STANDS

#Inflated or #Deflated are terms we have heard on every newscast lately addressing the football’s air pressure.  This brings back my thoughts to rules, laws, standards of any game or sport or contest.  There has to be an official to make the appropriate call according to the rules of the game which can be challenged by a review/replay in football.  How does this work with our game plan for living our life?  Have you seen people totally deflated/depressed or others arrogantly puffed/ inflated with self importance? We are to ‘stand guard at our station to keep watch for God’s Word’ just like Habakkuk.  Hab. 2:4 “Behold for the proud one , His soul is not right within him; but the righteous will live by his faith.” Bible speaks of “WOE” which is a miserable state.  “Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity….Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil..”  Is.5:18-22  The Living Lord is the head official for our game of life and He already has an instant review….  HIS PREVIOUS CALL STANDS!       ISAIAH 3:13  “THE LORD STANDS UP TO JUDGE THE PEOPLE”
