A Ruse and a Noise


I have come to perceive that nothing men do in this place of testing matters. 

They can not sin against me, for I am no standard of excellence, and that the Lord has promised me eternal life.

The only thing that will stand forever is the work of Christ Jesus among men.  This matters greatly!

No, there is nothing men do in this place of testing that matters.  All their wickedness will be covered with an eternal grave.  And too, the sins of those who place their trust in Christ alone will be covered over and obliterated.

No, the things men do in this place of testing are of no consequence.  They do not matter.  They are only a ruse and a noise.

Profits


The prophet of God is valuable.  Who then are they who disagree?

There is profit in the words of the prophet of God.  Who then are they who disbelieve?

It is intriguing that men prefer to ignore the messengers of God, when profit and loss are household concepts.  By this we can say that men are, by their very nature, lousy accountants.

For this they run the business of their life as if to fail.  Yet in business, they will kill to succeed.  Why does this tiny wisdom escape them?

It is impossible to correctly speak of the poverty of man.  Just as it is impossible to speak of the riches of God.

When we see Him face to face, we will understand.  Until then, profit comes by faith.  All the while poverty abides in flesh.

Do not be fooled, a man is what he believes.  Profit or loss, which do you choose?

Worthy?


Nothing we write, speak or do means anything compared to whose we are.  All three of those are only reflection who or what we worship.  And we all know that quasi gods abound; the variety of motivation is as plentiful as the dust particles on the earth.  Each man can potentially own over a billion different motives in his short life.

None of the writings in this blog are of any value if the Living God is not at the heart of my life.  Not a thought I may have is worth anything if I don’t know Him.  No deed I may a do will suffice if it fails to give Him Glory.

Fame is worthless.  The best of man’s thoughts are but conjecture (and this from biased perspective).  And regardless our intention not one of us can do anything “Good“.

If that is true of me as I write, it is also true of you as you read.  I am nothing.  He is everything.  And you are the reason He has blessed me.
