Thoughts from Papa “J”
The rule of law is that there is an exception to every law. Some folks; being knowingly ignorant (egotistic and selfish) do not look for exceptions; they simply wipe their mouth and say… “I’ve done no wrong” these people, both men and women trod over their victims without thought of the consequence. Proverbs 30:20
Good Morning
I once knew a man of terror, a business man in his late fifties and in the two years of our connection I was witness to the departure of twenty six people under his employment (more than one a month).
Most of these people were fired and the other six simply quit work because they could not work under the conditions of his egotistical ambitions.
This person never bothered me and I truly believe that he feared God and knew that my Fear of God is of love and peace with Him. This man’s fear was more like that “knee knocker” Belshazzar of the Babylonian empire along with the Medes and Persians found in Daniel 5:1-6, anyway there is a point to all of this and here it is.
God intends for each of us to be at peace with Him. Truth is that He alone has made every provision for you and me to know His peace which goes beyond our capacity to understand. Say what? I said that the peace that God offers to each of us goes beyond our ability to understand it. Philippians 4:6-7
You may be saying; well if that is true and I want to believe you, then how can I know that God is interested in providing me peace when I do not have the ability to understand Him? That is a good question, but it is easily answered by Jesus Himself in the gospel of John, but before we get there take a moment and ask God for help.
On our smart phones, computers and tablets we find that with some difficulty we can use these devices without much guidence, but that we are just barely getting by. If we really want to use them effectively we must use the available “help” applications to fully be compatible with the device.
Jesus explains to His disciples in John 14:25-31 that He is going away. To these men this was devastating news; their peace of being with Him was taken away and replaced by fear. Jesus did leave and we all know this. After all it is part of the Truth that we believe and provides Salvation, yet we need HELP!
The gift of God to all who believe is the Holy Spirit who is the Helper who makes alive all of the words of Truth. The Holy Spirit is more than a “Help app” on some device that man has invented.
The Holy Spirit is God, the gift of God to all who believe in Him thus we have peace with Him, not because we understand His peace but because His gift to us is He Himself and He Himself reveals it. His guidance to that knowledge is fulfilled in Him alone. To seek some other method to understand anything of God is foolish and falls short. Isaiah 64:4; 1 Corinthians 2:9 and 2 Corinthians 5:5
Now if you do not look at the scripture then you are not looking to the “HELPER” and while you may believe it, your belief has no power to go beyond the surpassing truth that God provides and you will miss the blessing; at least read 2 Corinthians 5:5
