Like it or not we're ALL on display in what we do.
We often despise what we can't control especially in the form of "How" what we say or do is then interpreted by others.
Acts 2:13
Some, however, made fun of them and said, "They have had too much wine."
NIV
Moses struck what I call the "Glancing" blow, yet my interpretation of the importance of the glance is based on the "Why" Moses felt compelled to glance this way and that way BEFORE he delivered the fatal blow.
Yet still God was able to transform this same man over time did He not?
The same man that is was said at a certain time about Him was that He (Moses) was the most humble man in all the earth. When was the last time you saw a humbled present day murder?
Ex 2:12-13
Glancing this way and that and seeing no one, he killed the Egyptian and hid him in the sand. The next day he went out and saw two Hebrews fighting. He asked the one in the wrong, "Why are you hitting your fellow Hebrew?"
The man said, "Who made you ruler and judge over us? Are you thinking of killing me as you killed the Egyptian ?" Then Moses was afraid and thought, "What I did must have become known."
NIV
Are we fast approaching the time of need of our deliverer? The one that can save us from ourselves?
If this is true as well the spirit of the Lord, are many truly being interpreted based on what we've hoped others are not able to see as though our hearts concealed?
How much of what we've assumed has been kept concealed has now resulted in the increasingly corrupt world we now find ourselves living in? Is it less corrupt NOW than it was where we read what we do in the bible when it was less physically crowded?
We find it easy to condemn the killer because of the evidence of what they DO, yet we'll forget that what was in their heart as sin was BEFORE what they supposedly DID wrong.
After the "Fact" is simply the fallout that has since found its way OUT into the open where everyone that have eyes can NOW see and that said seeing "Beyond" doubting.
I don't share what I share as though an original thought of my own. I simply find it worthy of repeating as though true because I know how "forgetfulness" has plagued humanity.
If a man wants said "Acountability" reminders at every turn of his life, simply say what is true at all times and you'll be met with those same words everywhere you go because no one will allow YOU to forget what you preach when they're accused of a crime against God.
That being especially true in an ever shrinking world we live in because eyes are everywhere, what establishes true relationships are dying while the majority are denying it.
I say that if evil is NOT being seen (perceived) to be on the rise its the direct result of what most have realigned evil to be. IMO, evil might seem to be on the rise as though an increase yet more so now because it has fewer physical places to hide.
It's shrinking because of the evil that is truly within the heart of men as such that God forewarned him (man) about...such evil that knows nothing better to do with the freedom he's been given except to hand it over to the one which causes evil to be called evil to begin with.
Because the world is shrinking in such a fashion, that which is evil within a man NOW has no choice but to try and alter what gets socially perceived as the "Truth" in order to make room for the essence of himself (selfish soul).
How else can he then hide his offense(s) in order to camouflage what he does so well in his own deception? He's simply creating more real estate because he's running out of sand dunes in order to hide the bodies...
God knew before the foundations of the world were formed that man would sin, yet was this whole event we encounter only about us? Only when we only think on ourselves individually once more?
That line of thinking might have worked IF it ALL were only about you alone and God....
I'm personally confident God has mastered the craft of making things from "Clay", yet breathing HIS likeness into anything was and still IS a very personal event as such a thought that He loved beyond the measure of a man to do so....
Man has simply failed to remember the heights from which he's fallen in terms of Holiness, who he (Man) is in the eyes of god and that as such that IS in the presence of God (the Great I AM).
Matt 15:19-20
For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder , adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander. These are what make a man 'unclean'; but eating with unwashed hands does not make him 'unclean.'"
NIV
If man does not see how responsible he is for what he has believed, then why would Jesus offer as encouragement as though the first born (of the beloved of God)?
Can a man (posses) something and never realize its reward?
John 14:21
Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love him and show myself to him."
NIV
How important is not only our understanding concerning all that faith accomplishes, but even more the importance as our confidence in God who we then trust with the remainder of the life we now live?
Not because we HAVE believed (past tense) but because we DO believe that He hears our pleas. He hears us because He has "touched our infirmities.
As though the needs of His children who have come to KNOW Him because we DO trust all that love IS and DOES because He is more than able because of the ALL that He IS as our GOD.
Who enables us because He also defines this same God above all others in the minds of mankind?
Jesus the Christ!
John 16:25-27
"Though I have been speaking figuratively, a time is coming when I will no longer use this kind of language but will tell you plainly about my Father.
In that day you will ask in my name.
I am not saying that I will ask the Father on your behalf.
No, the Father himself loves you because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God.
NIV
I don't consider it a crime to ask so I will, "Have you only believed there is a God or do you believe He is your God because He sent His son as His likeness in order to reintroduce Himself to you?
Heb 8:10
This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after that time, declares the Lord.
I will put my laws in their minds and write them on their hearts.
I will be their God , and they will be my people.
NIV
Acts 10:45-46
The circumcised believers who had come with Peter were astonished that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out even on the Gentiles .
For they heard them speaking in tongues and praising God.
NIV
1 Cor 14:21
"Through men of strange tongues and through the lips of foreigners
I will speak to this people, but even then they will not listen to me,"
NIV
Do not become the "THEY" of today who have hardened their hearts towards God.
Instead "Today" being "The Day" when you seek to hear His voice do not allow what you've chosen to believe stand in the way of your own reconciliation to the only God that is able to prove that He is righteous and "True".
What is it that you must do?
Only truly believe in His son that HE sent for You.
By His grace and because of His mercy He'll finish what He begins in terms of a relation-ship he starts and He WILL see it through until it's become a finished work that's pleasing because of what Believing in Him has accomplished.
