Exodus 20: 12
Honour thy father and thy mother:
that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.
God wants us to give honour unto our parents but even more so unto him.
He is above all fathers.
God is our only Father.............
Ephesians 4: 6
One God and Father of all who is above all, and in you all.
With all that is in the world today, our minds and hearts tend to forget and show little or no honour, or reverence to God our Father.
God is our sole means of existence, He giveth life and has all power to take life.
He is our very substance. Our every breathe we take.
He is the only reason we are here.
By Him and for him were we created..
Our hearts and minds sometimes tend to be so far away from God.
We often rebel and fall away from God, tracing out on our own thinking we really don't need
God in what we think are small things.
But the truth be known, God does not need us, we definitely need him.
But yet inspite of all our sins, he continues to love us unconditionally and substains us, protecting us from all evil and harm that tries to come against us.
continuing to provide for us to meet our needs.
He waits for us to realize we need him in everything that we do in our lives, and to follow his leading and obey his command and respect that he is leading us to what is best for us, holding
our hand to get us there safely.
We sometimes only cry out to him when we are or think we are in need of a miracle, or, we feel
things are not going our way.
Our way is not God's way.
How sad for us that we can not understand you want so much more than that, you want to have a close relationship with each of your children and that you love us and want to communicate with
us and that you are so much more than just our quick fix in a time of what we feel is a crisis.
God is an awesome God.
God's spirit within us is what gives us the ability to love, but yet we have lost our first love "HIM."
When we go out on our own we lose our way, we become blinded and our heart begins to become hardened.
Satan is in pursuit of your soul and he thinks if he gets your mind and eyes on everything else the world has to offer and off the Lord he has won.
Satan is the god of this world.
2 Cor 4:4
In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them, which believe not,
lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine
unto them.
The world is a very dark and lonely place without any light shining.
But thanks be to our Father he sent his marvelous light unto us, " Jesus Christ."
He is our light and direction.
John 8:12
Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world:
he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
Jesus brings us into a Holy relationship with our Father.
John 14:6
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life:
no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Christ brings us into obedience through his own obedience, " The Cross. "
Matt 26:39
And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O Father,
if it be possible let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou
wilt.
We should no longer be children of disobedience, but, children of obedience through Christ Jesus. We should show honour to our Father, we are the righteousness of God the Father through the shedding of the blood of Jesus.
We finally know how to love because he first loved of us.
What pure love, unconditional love, everlasting love.
- God's Love - He sent Jesus
- Jesus Love - The Cross, A lamb for slaughter
- Our Love should be - serve the Lord God with all your heart, all your mind, all your strength. Serve no other god.
Exodus 20:3 Thou shall have no other gods before me.
Love one another as Christ loves us. This is not hard when we become children of God, God places this kind of love within us through the spirit he places within us. Put God first in all that you do, he wants so much to be your Father, one like you have never known, Nothing compares. He Loves You.........
Trust Him to lead you into all good things and his blessings pour out upon you that you can not contain.
Seek God's guidance in all things, become the children he wants us to be. Give God glory and, He deserves our upmost honour and respect.
A-men
