The Devotional - A Look at the Book #560

A Thought for today by Papa “J”

Psalm 119:16 – Some of our most pleasant moments are when we are looking into the Perfect Law of Liberty. His ways are not our ways and His thoughts are not like our thoughts. Joy and Peace are the attributes of the soul at rest with His statutes. Psalm 19:7-10

Good Morning

I believe in a young earth and it is not popular these days to think that the earth is less than twelve thousand years old. My answer to those who want to ridicule and say that people like me are wrong is: “so what!” Once you go beyond the history of recorded human life, what is the point of going any further? Only one and that is to deny the existence of the Creator. The evolutionist simply seeks to replace the Creator who IS ETERNAL with the created that IS TEMPERAL. The existence of God is forever and even God cannot be measured in time. God does not need a clock to measure His existence and eternity is always a present condition with Him. Eternity has no past or future since eternity is always present. It is futile to search for the beginning of time and it is nonsense to seek the beginning of God. For the human mind to come up with “the” answer is in my thinking a thing of vanity, since who is there to verify the validity of such a thing. Deuteronomy 29:29 helps me know that the secrets of creation belong to God alone and that the Laws of God are provided for us to believe and to pass on to our children. Our schools, our community and our nation have failed to be faithful to this. Thus today our children are a by-product of a failed society. This fundamental principle of truth is a root cause of pollution today. Say what? Oh! Not the pollution that chokes our physical breath; but the pollution produced by men and women who teach, preach and suppress the truth that God created the heavens and the earth to promote their own ungodly agendas. Romans 1:18-32

2 Corinthians

2 Corinthians 7:2 – This is a real problem in churches today since there are many believers walking about with chips on their shoulders. Now I would say that this is a common thing among those who are recently saved and who have not experienced true brotherly love or the promises of God and true spirituality. But this is not the case many of our so called seasoned saints are carrying logs on their shoulders and several large splinters in their eyes because of falsely judging other saints. Matthew 7:1-6

Truly anyone who uses the Word of God deceitfully should be condemned and I know that verse 3 is not looking at that thought, but I am seeking to be plain in my presentation of truth in that I am not sharing this with us to judge or condemn ourselves before God; but to edify each of us in the grace of God in order that we can share together the joy of the LORD. After all; in our contemporary life we live and we die together or as we would say today; we are all in the same boat.

I could be bolder and I enjoy the apostle Paul for his boldness… don’t you? And if you know me you know that I boast a lot; sometimes it is taken wrong in that I am boasting in the flesh, but I do not think of it in that way… God will certainly be the judge in this. But I boast because of what God is doing in my life and how I perceive that he is doing the same in your life. Truly there is JOY in the LORD and as we proceed through the remainder of this epistle we will see that suffering produces the real JOY of the LORD in these earthen vessels. 2 Corinthians 4:16-18.
