Knowing what you Need

Sitting in the seat of judgment is hardly advisable, yet called for when a man considers himself and then the consideration of righteousness in the eyes of Lord.

What need has been met that will convince a man he's able to enter into the presence of the Lord with supplication?

What confidence could possibly reside in the womb of any heart suggesting a man has access to the throne room of Grace?

What wisdom should man crave and cry out for except that cry be only for the manifold wisdom of the Lord poured out as Christ?

If a man fears in part should it not be the consideration of being double minded which hinders the way of the undecided?

James 1:4-8
Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.

If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.

But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.

That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does.
NIV

James 2:21-22
Was not our ancestor Abraham considered righteous for what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar? You see that his faith and his actions were working together, and his faith was made complete by what he did
NIV

What of the continual thoughts where faith is required, "The Lord Hears my plea of need"?

A man is blind that says he doesn't have a clue as to what his future holds and has been made blind by all that convinces him to ignore the truth.

It's one thing to have and hold as a life time commentary, "My enemy has knocked me down 7 times yet I will rise and taste victory because the Lord has instructed me to set my hand to this thing"!

Yet what if the summation as the life of Moses intended to work for the believer today were recorded as, "The Lord simply works in mysterious ways"!

How could that type of recorded speach serve you or anyone else observing as if it were a corporate (unified) effort to know the Lord?

Instead, here's the words of the request spoken by Moses:

Ex 33:13
If you are pleased with me, teach me your ways so I may know you and continue to find favor with you.
NIV

Where should the summation "God is a mystery" hope to end up which starts out in the opposite direction of the words below? Does it sound like the beginnig of an earnest request made such as the words from Moses?

John 17:3-4
Now this is eternal life: that they may know you , the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. I have brought you glory on earth by completing the work you gave me to do.NIV


Heb 11:6
And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. NIV


Instead, could it be seen as a lie to "self" that's just been confirmed by words which now are kept in ones breast pocket which read, "I never knew" and "The influences of the world around me made do it"?


1 John 4:4-6
You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.

They are from the world and therefore speak from the viewpoint of the world, and the world listens to them.

We are from God, and whoever knows God listens to us; but whoever is not from God does not listen to us.

This is how we recognize the Spirit of truth and the spirit of falsehood.
NIV

What evidence would prove to you the Lord is righteous because He has spoken?

Is it the simplicity of your own faith extended towards Him or His faith as the entirety of all that He's already accomplished through Christ reaching towards you?

What will you do with the thought, "Many years ago the Lord has already spoken and for the benefit of mankind"?

Who is it that has changed and what reasoning is now serving His purpose for having spoken?

If the question being asked were "Have you believed God" what could man examine in order to catch a glimpse of the answer?

Enough that is where there will be no suprises once the verdict mankind has already received is upheld in the end?

John 3:19-21
This is the verdict : Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.

Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed.

But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God."   
NIV

Examine yourself by using the instrument of the verdict to know what shall be done at present.

What lies ahead in the annuls of eternity for those that have embraced the thought of having been purchased by the Lord?

How did He pay for your soul and who set the price?


Today when you examine yourself and inquire, "Who does this self examination serve"?

Think twice and answer slowly so you won't miss a word your own mouth confesses.

When you value the words which come from your lips above all else, understand the value and impact of what you've believed with all your heart, mind and soul.

For what you embrace concerning the wisdom you do serve, can also serve you the folly of everything that is not the will of the Lord.

His wisdom which is your hope has been sent forth and should labor for your eternal benefit through the exercise of faith in Christ Jesus the Lord.


2 Chron 19:4-7
Jehoshaphat lived in Jerusalem, and he went out again among the people from Beersheba to the hill country of Ephraim and turned them back to the LORD, the God of their fathers.

He appointed judges in the land, in each of the fortified cities of Judah.

He told them, "Consider carefully what you do, because you are not judging for man but for the LORD, who is with you whenever you give a verdict.

Now let the fear of the LORD be upon you. Judge carefully, for with the LORD our God there is no injustice or partiality or bribery."
NIV
