Meditate on this!
The
Sun of our galaxy is the largest object that God created. Human
estimation is that the sun is roughly 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit at the
surface. As a believer in God and Creation the sun has fulfilled the
Plan of God for the last six plus thousand years in perfect obedience to
God. Are you not thankful to God for this truth? As far as I can tell…
evolution is disobedient to every claim made by man. Psalm 19:4b-6
I
am not sure if this little story is true, but I can see it happening;
especially in those days when groups of believers would go door to door
handing out tracts and sharing the gospel. One young girl of twelve
reportedly went to the door of a house alone since everyone else had
fanned out to other neighboring homes. She knocked on the door and
eventually the door opened and a scantly clad middle-aged man stood
staring down at her. “What do you want girl?” was the reply. The young
girl was shocked at the sight before her; she had never seen anyone look
so shabby, also the air coming out of the house reeked, she became
frightened and it was as if all of her planned words took wings and flew
away, and she simply did not know what to say! The man said harshly;
“little girl; why did you knock on my door? Her reply! “And as it is
appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment” and she
turned and ran back to the main sidewalk and back to the others of the
church who were returning too. The middle aged man was worried about the
girl’s statement, in fact; as his worry increased and he began seeking
to find out what prompted the girls visit. He asked a neighbor and it
was explained that the girl and the group she was with came from the
local church just a few blocks away. Before the following Sunday, the
man met with the pastor of the church and asked him to explain the
girl’s comment. Then Sunday came and after the service the man searched
out the little girl and thanked her for sharing Jesus with him on the
day he was considering suicide. So what verse is it? Her Sunday school
memory verse of the week before Hebrews 9:27.
A View from Psalm 24… and 25
The
earth belongs to the LORD and all the fullness of it. The world and
those who dwell in it belong to Him too. So how does that grab you? Do
you believe it or do you think that God lies. Woe to you if you do! You
and I belong to the LORD God who created the heavens and the earth. Even
the oceans, rivers, lakes and ponds know this. His laws are so
effective that all of nature obeys His every command. Of course to fully
understand this truth you would need to believe that He is God and is
the rewarder to those who diligently seek Him. Psalm 24 and Hebrews 11:6
We
cannot know how wonderful God is in our fallen condition as Adam’s
descendant. We cannot go where God is and ask Him. Our hands have
handled the sin of the world and our heart is not pure. If you have ever
involved yourself with an idol; Oh, come on now, anything that
distracts you from coming to God is an idol. How about those under the
breath swear words, yes there are five strikes against you in these few
passages of Psalm 24:3-4
Notice
though that God reveals the other side of these condemning strikes;
mankind the only disobedient segment of creation, apart from the fallen
angels has the wonderful opportunity to be obedient. The remainder of
this Psalm points to God’s love and forgiveness. Notice that for His
Name’s sake He will pardon you just as He did for King David. You say
well I do not see that in Psalm 24. Right! You will have to read at
least to verse 11 of Psalm 25. The Kingdom belongs to God; just as His
forgiveness and deliverance does too. John 3:16
