When there is no promise of tomorrow or what that same potential holds in store, why does the future that "Seems" to fail to deliver only then get associated with God. sw
Investigating the contents of darkness requires the type of "Light" that also hi-lights ones faith. sw
How does fear manage a mastery over the outlook of many as if opposed to the "Insight" required to see the type of hope that's made plans to participates in the future. sw
Individually, is it enough to only believe that a "God" or some supreme deity exist?
If there were understood to be 100 or more known Gods in the mind(s) of humanity, what would cause you to choose the "Right" One?
Some would suggest to honor them all equally so as to NOT offend any of them. Another might need to know what each God offers or promises to make available if they were to commit to them.
Wouldn't the word "Enough" require being more closely defined while considering a specific "Outcome" of the opinion in question? To mean, which God can actually deliver all that's being promised?
Why is it so hard to get an opinion from a person about what is wrong that's also willing to commit to helping another find what is right?
Much like trying to harness the fleeting definition of Love or getting others to commit to their own discovery which then explains what their own "Faith" entails. Why is it that we find ANY symbol of a God on earth has also been made from human hands?
An "X" used to suffice when a man was subjected to go on record and make His mark. Today I wonder if the reason why the "X" is no longer acceptable is because there's Too many who would prefer that indistinguishable "Mark"?
Where within a man do all of his complexities "Originate"? Do those complexities only begin and end in chaos or within the boundaries man keeps moving to suit what he's chosen to believe.
What is it about growing old where the "Body" slows down enough to where the wind noise of forward motion no longer drowns out the voice of a friend?
I don't know if you've ever heard the expression or Not that says, "I'm in for the Long Haul"? Are we talking about marriage or lifetime spent in the Army?
If you were going horse back riding for the first time that was gonna be an all day affair and you are now faced with making the choice as to which horse you'll be stuck with for the rest of the day?
Do you choose "Wisely" that old horse with a slumped back whose still in service or that tall perky stallion named "Lucky" who can hardly stand still long enough for you to mount because he's picked up the trace scent of a "Mare" that's in season?
Have you ever wondered if People choose who "Their" God is much the same way?
It's not that uncommon to hear supposed wisdom speak when it says things like, "This aint my first rodeo" but what does that mean to someone whose never ridden a horse?
Jesus used parable's yet He ALSO understood beyond measure not only the every essence of every word but also every heart that might speak or hear those words. I personally believe everything God created speaks in one fashion or another.
I'm just weird that way I guess, but I often wonder about why seemingly obscure considerations don't always match many of these one line phrases people not only seem to enjoy throwing around but they use them as if EVERYONE should get it.
I think they many refer to them as metaphors or analogies? Who knows maybe I'm just trapped in a zone where words were supposed to mean something more on occasion than what someone else has said?
I guess their wisdom source saw fit to revisit and changed the game when words "Context" and "Politically correct" were introduced to the mainstream.
I personally think all men are wired for and were intended to ponder every now and then, things like "Why don't cemeteries speak louder than they "Historically" have?
Dependent upon your vintage other questions like, "Exactly why is it that ALL parents don't "Seem" to get smarter the older we get"?
Who are the "They" who also suggest the "Dead" don't speak?
Is it because they DON'T have anything worth while to say or they've left little to nothing behind?
Somehow that flies in the face of, "You can't take it with when you leave this world"?
In terms of reflection, why don't mirrors always agree with what we tell ourselves we "Want" to see? Exactly how "Bad" is bad and how good is our "Want"?
When a mirror doesn't show you what you want to see, why don't you "Just" yell at the mirror with the same zeal you might your "Own" child when they reflect what You don't like?
Why is it we can say with conviction to our spouse "You Make Me mad", yet they can't seem to compel us to do much of anything else that is considered to be "Good" and worthy enough of praise?
What's the difference in poetry and the poetic displacement of everything we've failed to believe to be True?
How much of what is said "God Is talking about" ends up being the sum total of everything we suggest we can't see? And what is "Divine Wisdom" and the willingness to dispense that same wisdom if the intended recipient see's no value in it?
Truly is there any "Real" excuse worth "Hearing" in the Light of what we suggest we Do know or is it what we're NOT willing to come to know that will slowly kill what has need of 'Dying"?
Leaving behind even if only for a while what was perfect so that imperfection could see what it lacks should also explain the why that stands behind whosoever is NOT willing to know the truth and so be set free.
Why would God suggest the need of "Being" MADE perfect if he also made it an impossible leading notion?
Why cause it to manifest and then send the example if "Enough" has already been satisfied having been "Done" as an act of Mercy?
Why then the need for Grace in order to bring to pass a "New Creation" as a result of that example if all that imperfection does need is to be SHOWN Mercy? Where does Knowledge fit it in? Where does our previously thought wisdom go?
Under present circumstances simply being "SHOWN" mercy obviously doesn't have the same affect on EVERYONE, yet how much of that has to do with "Unbelief"?
If God has already done all that needs to be done, why then the need to "Test" ones "Faith"?
Why is that mankind has realized the need to be able to "measure" what he (man) has done?
Why does this standard always fail to measure "Up"? Is it that man can never measure Up OR is it that man in and of himself has no "Way" of even qualifying his own standards?
Why does the bible present the word Perseverance as if a work that's in need of "Finishing' if everything that's "Needed" has been done? Why isn't the Thought of being made "Mature" a work that's "BEING" viewed as something that needs continual attention?
Why doesn't the word "Child" or "Children" fit like a given name to some when it obviuosly suits them? Why is that children always have to know what's in the storehouse of tomorrow before their today has been lived out and/or enjoyed?
Why can't the immature rest in the thoughts contained in 'Today" without trying to make plans for tomorrow that has already been prepared by the same one who planned "Today"?
Exactly what does a houseful of rebellious children look like if the Father does go away even if only for a while? In fighting over "Who's in charge in the Fathers absence? Exactly who is the "On site" governance in His physical absence?
Are there NO prevailing thoughts of God the Father in the minds of His children in His physical absence? Does the spirit of those thoughts only linger in the minds of the children when Father is thought to be "Present" on Sunday? And who is the care taker in the Fathers absence?
Is it "Mom" alone or Mom whom also "Enjoys" the same "Presence" of that same Holy Spirit not only blessed but evidenced having been provided of God?
The builder of that same house God himself has built that He WILL also indwell forever more? Do the children of God get to decide who there Father is while knowing they didn't get to choose "Who" their earthly Father "Was"?
What made it possible where Jesus could say, "It is better that I should go away"? Especially while knowing that when He does return, judgement is not only nearby Him and it's also For Him and His names sake?
It's easy enough to say, "Bring it ALL under the Blood of Jesus", yet who can explain it without first having realized and witnessed the reality of the landing zone that's been cleared? Why the need for the fear of the Lord? Could the more popular answer have anything to do with how the world has changed the context in which the word fear gets challenged?
Could Jesus have come without the personage and otherwise invisible office held by John as His herald announcing His coming? Not when you understand the self discipline of God that compels Him to abide by His own words.
Is YOUR sign of authority worn on your head invisible? If yes, Invisible to whom? To those you can see or by those who can't presently be seen for who they are?
Surely God MUST help us all who do have this "need" and as those who continuously realize such a great need of His authority OVER the nakedness of our otherwise pitiful selfish souls that have been encased in desirous wanton flesh.
How do you read Paul's counsel? Are all angels Chubby little darlings surrounded by throbbing hearts armed with bow and arrows that only induce thoughts of Love, or did a third of the angles that were before man fall because of their disobedience?
Don't "Be" disgruntled at what I say, yet be fearful of what is true if you do find that you're Offended by what you do hear from within the words being presented.
1 Cor 11:7-10
A man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man. For man did not come from woman, but woman from man; neither was man created for woman, but woman for man.
For this reason, and because of the angels, the woman ought to have a sign of authority on her head.
NIV
Col 1:15-20
He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible , whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him.
He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy.
For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross. NIV
I know that his command leads to eternal life . So whatever I say is just what the Father has told me to say." NIV
James 1:2-8
Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. 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
By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be known as the son of Pharaoh's daughter. He chose to be mistreated along with the people of God rather than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a short time.
He regarded disgrace for the sake of Christ as of greater value than the treasures of Egypt, because he was looking ahead to his reward.
By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the king's anger; he persevered because he saw him who is invisible
NIV
