Papa “J” and his thoughts?
One thing I have noticed while strolling through the Proverbs of Solomon. The walk is pleasant for those conform to God, but for the fool and the unwise the pathway is a jungle where the very nature of things work opposingly against the simple of heart. Proverbs 14:15-19
“Jesus Loves Me” by Anna Warner. She also wrote two other hymns. “One more days work for Jesus” and “We would see Jesus” She and her sister would hold bible studies at West Point for the cadets. Today the West Point Academy maintains the Warner Estate as a Tribute to the dedication of these two women who served the LORD for many years. She was born in 1827 and died in 1915. Her sister Susan who wrote under the pseudonym Amy Lothrop.(fictious name). History records the two women as American writers. Susan did not write hymns, but she did help Anna write some of the children's books like, “Dollars and Cents” and “Mr. Rutherford's Children”. What's the point, Jesse? We are just three years from the 200th year anniversary of Anna's death. Yet two of her songs live on in the hearts of children and adults alike. I believe the message which is also written on her grave stone “We would see Jesus” is the message that all of us need to hear. Jesus Loves Me, this I know for without His Love for us, No one would see Jesus. Behold, what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, tht we should be called the children of God! Therefore the world does know us, because it did not know Him. 1 John 3:1 Since we know Him because of His Love, we should then eagerly set our goal to be conformed into His image. He would want that of us, see Romans 12:1-2
CERTAIN PSALMS OF INTEREST
Psalm 37:9-10 You might think that the evil doer has no inheritance, don't be fooled everyone who is born of the flesh will inherit something from God. Notice the words “cut off” used in most translations. These words literally mean “destruction” so the evil doer will inherit chaff, Psalm 1:4 remember when we looked at that verse. Ever try to catch a bit of chaff blowing in the wind, even in you do, what is the worth of it? What ever it was, is no more!
Speculation over the meaning of inheriting the earth found in Psalm 37:9 and 11 has caused a number of cluts to practice a false system of works for those who follow their pernicious ways. For the elite of these systems of false teaching is heaven, for those who are less fortunate, they inherit the earth. Not the new heavens and earth of 2 Peter 2:13, but the one spoken of in the earlier verses 10 -12. Now there is a lot of chaff, huh?
Religions and cults operate falsely under the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, these systems use termonology found in the Holy Bible. The Children of God live and abide under the calling of God, the Tree of Life. Under this Tree is the only place where the inheritance of the earth works for the child of God since he or she knows that they are looking beyond the cross of Jesus to a city that He is building where the New heavens and earth are. He is coming again. Those who are trained by grace, rather than by works know this truth. Titus 2:11-15.
