December 11
If you haven't done it, you can still imagine the gross-ness:
Sitting down into your comfortable reading chair,If you haven't done it, you can still imagine the gross-ness:
enjoying the relaxation,
suddenly realizing something is wrong,
standing and looking down into the chair to see:
Someone -- hopefully not you -- dropped and lost a bit of chocolate bar
on your chair. Your throne of comfort.
Oh, it's near the crevice where you didn't notice,now melting into the material from your comfy body heat while you just enjoyed sitting.
Every throne of comfort here on earth has something wrong---
something not so comforting after all.
The chocolate that's my goal to eat even after doing well on my diet doesn't satisfy for long.
The shopping was fun. Playing with my stuff was fun. But soon the bills come.
And I usually have more work, taking care of and cleaning around all the new stuff.
Alcohol and drugs -- even the word "BUZZ" describes
the quick fading of joy for a few moments of forgetting whatevers.
God's JOYFUL scriptures-
God makes the Endurance Worth it!
in Revelation 3:21, this prophecy is actually Jesus's Word, spoken after His Resurrection.
How do we know? Logic.
NOT an "unthinking faith", (e.g. Isaiah 1:18, 1 Corin. 2:11-end)
FOR GOD CALLS US TO THINK AND REASON WITH THE MIND He has given to us.
CONSIDER: IS NOT Almighty God Who can create universes
quite capable of keeping mistakes out of His own Bible?
And God easily "catches" & deals with anyone who deliberately tries to fake His word.
FALSE prophets -- Whom He clearly says will multiply in numbers.
And thus Jesus tells us in Revelation 3:21 --
"To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne,
as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne." (New KJV)
PRAYER.
LORD God, Help me, help us, overcome. I can't do this alone. I wouldn't WANT to do this alone, for even my so-called thrones of success quickly fall apart.
First Corinthians 10:13 -- I rely on You, my chosen LORD.
Fully rely on Your offers, Your Promises to help me overcome what you describe
in verses 5 through 8 -- things that shall DESTROY me if I put THEM on
my Life's Throne instead of You.
Fully rely on Your offers, Your Promises to help me overcome what we people call "normal" - the
pride and complaining that YOU God describe in YOUR words through Paul
in verses 9 and 10 -- things that shall DESTROY me if I CHOSE to put THEM on
my Life's Throne instead of You.
Forgive me when I ignore the help You're waiting to give to me
because I want to sit just a little longer on
my comfy chocolate throne.
