On Seeking God.

I have heard some say they searched for God and found nothing.  I have heard people say they have found God, yet I see no evidence in the way they live their lives.  I have heard people say there is no need to search for God; it is His task to seek us.  In short, we have all heard many versions of this statement.  The following is an observation regarding seeking God.

He says “You will seek me and find me when you seek for me with all your heart.  And I will be found by you”.  The promise is true.  I can testify to that.  So why don’t more people find what they’re looking for?  They seek Him with wrong motives.  He will not honor pride.  So the one who looks for Him as though He was an anomaly won’t find Him.  That one is looking for God as if God were the created one.  That person is still holding himself up as God and taunting God by forgetting who made who.

Some say they have found God, yet there is no apparent difference in the life they live.  These people lie by their actions.  It is possible they can identify what God is.  But that’s as far as they intend to go.  God is not mocked.  A man reaps what he sows.  He who sows to the sinful nature, will reap that crop.  He who sows from the Spirit of God will reap his reward according to God’s will.

He who thinks it is the Creator’s task to find and secure lost souls is missing a great mark.  God knows where you are.  He knows who you are.  He knows what you’ve done.  He knows your attitude.   And He makes the demand that you seek Him.

By His Grace.

Note to the World.

I have watched what you say regarding Jesus.  And I see you make mistakes that any good school boy of ages past would not have made.  You run Him down and call Him any name you chose.  These things can and will be forgiven if you repent of your sins and seek His face. 

But one mistake I see repeated is blatant and shameful even in the things of this world.  You call to His account any wrong you find which bears His name.  For instance, if we see someone who uses “Christian” as a personal identity doing something non-christian, you automatically determine that Jesus has done it.  You neither know Him, nor know His ways.  Your judgment is flawed because you define your judgment on the basis of your narrow and sinful views.

If a family has a “bad” child we do not run the whole family into the ground.  We identify the “bad” one and consider his ways as separate from the family.  And we certainly don’t blame a good father for the failings of his criminal son.  Each man will pay the penalty for his own sins.  Yet you apply every wrong done by anyone calling themselves christian to the Lord Jesus.  Your judgment is flawed because you do not know the Lord.

Hear the Lord of Glory

Oh that the world around us
Those who will die the death
Might know the Lord of mercy
And recognize His voice.

Then they would not murmur
Against things they cannot see
And would joyfilled see His hand at work
And Glorify His name.

Why would you die? The Lord is asking
His hand stretched out in love
I set the world to spin for you
I call you from Above.

The work is Great to save their souls
It cannot be done with man
For though they die and fade away
It’s He alone who can.

I hear You Lord in a fallen leaf
I see your love in rain
I’m here to bid them turn from sin
And Glorify Your Name.

The Sudden Nature of Destruction

I saw a raccoon as I was driving along. He was apparently sitting on the side of the road. As I got closer, I noticed he was sitting like a human might sit. I thought that’s odd. Then I noticed that his body was smashed open from the stomach back. He had been run over and was in shock as he looked at his intestines. The sight was so grizzly and horrid that I can’t get it out of my mind. I’ve never seen such a pathetic situation.
In my mind it’s easy to see a lesson from this. I will say this knowing many will disagree. But it won’t matter. As suddenly, shockingly, unavoidable, and inevitable as this raccoon’s problem was, so it will be for all who deny the forgiveness and love of Christ Jesus in this life.
The freedom you feel now to criticise and provoke will be turned into horror and utter shame and ruin come the day you stand before the Lord. I don’t say this to make myself feel good about my own righteousness. I say this as a truth. These things will happen to all who put confidence in their own understanding and “righteous” behavior.
The Lord is true and has opened this day for our salvation, not some future date or place. This is the day of salvation and there will be no other.

By His Grace.

What is the meaning of life?

There is only one reason for life. We are created to serve the Lord of Hosts. Our life on earth is a testing of our hearts. The question from God is: “Will they love me even though they are blind to my Glory”? What’s your answer? Do not think it is your words that matter. It’s the heart He is after. If your heart is right, your actions will follow.
