Good morning all. God is good all the time, all the time God is good. BELIEVE--BELIEVE AND PRAISE GOD FOR ALL THINGS!!!
Where are we today? In life, in America, in the world??
But most importantly, where are you in your spiritual journey? This is the most important question.
Today, in our world it is what Dr. Suess would say is "topsy turvy". Bad is Good , evil is good, Sodom and Gomorah has arrived in the United States of America, once called "ONE NATION UNDER GOD"!!
We need to take heed of what is going on. The new administration does not oppose many attitudes and actions that are contrary to God's word. One example is sacrificing children which we call abortion. Take a look at what Paul sent toTimothy for the church in Ephesus.
2 Timothy 3: But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. 2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, 4 treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people. 6 They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over gullible women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires, 7 always learning but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth. 8 Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also these teachers oppose the truth. They are men of depraved minds, who, as far as the faith is concerned, are rejected. 9 But they will not get very far because, as in the case of those men, their folly will be clear to everyone.
Just a quick note: Jannes and Jambres were the Pharaoh's magicians who performed some of the same magic as did Moses. What is interesting is that the magicians could do the same plagues or tricks Moses did only 3 times and when the plague of the gnats (lice) came they had no power. :) Do you think God was playing with them?? Maybe, maybe not.
Why didn't the first miracle, turning a rod into a snake cause Pharaoh to release the Hebrews? My opinion is that if Pharaoh did, then Moses would be the one getting the glory, and we should be certain God gets the glory, thus, more plagues (miracles).
Also, women and knowledge is mentioned in the above verses. This is not a slap to the women, but a warning about being taken in by false teachers. And knowledge -- because someone has a lot of knowledge, has a doctoral label or possible several doctorates does not mean they are wise in the ways of the LORD. They know not the real TRUTH!!
Knowledge comes from the LORD, HE alone allows us to gain the knowledge necessary, albeit often this is through our own experiences - good or bad.
Re-read the scriptures above and think about today's world and the direction we are moving in America. I welcome your feedback. Thank you for reading today. Love you all.
In Christ's Love and Grae
