My Savior My God

My apologies for not updating my blog as I originally had planned--as I originally had promised.

There are times when I hear something so splendid, so blessed, so perfectly planted by God and instead of writing about them, I'll put them on a post-it and shove them to the side.

Those actions are wrong, and with prayer, they'll be corrected!

Here is what God is putting on my heart...

As of recent, I talked to my brother about God and His strength. Through God's infinite strength, He has been able to guide me in my finite understanding. For example, I was not a strong enough person to be as God intended for me to be while attending my first school, Ichabod Crane, so instead, God moved me to Loudonville Christian, where I was able to give my heart to Him and dedicate my life to loving Yeshua. My brother, on the other hand, needed Ichabod in order to learn endurance, perseverance, and overcome many of his own faults. Because of the two different schools we have built relations with people that have directly impacted our futures.

Though the entire conversation was "deep" (as described by my brother, Will), the part that stuck with me the most was when Will struggled with saying that it was God that got him through everything. William acknowledged that the word God is used by so many people, for so many reasons, that his God (or his personal relationship with God) was not being accurately described when he used the word "God" to describe what he knows to be True. "God" could mean everything and nothing to anyone who hears it.

How can we go about our day more fully understanding what we mean when we used the word "God"? How can we revive the understanding of the true, infinite, and sacrificial Lord? Do we understand what we're saying when we throw around words such as "Elohim," "Jehovah," "Lord," "Father," "Jesus/Yeshua"?

What does God mean to you? Is there just one truth and one understanding behind the word God, or are there different meanings and realities for one spiritual Truth?

Challenge yourself today by understanding what God means, who God is, and how He affects/has affected you.

yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live.

1 Corinthians 8:6

How Many Kings

And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths,...

-Luke 2:7

"Just a child? Is this what we've waited for?"

-downhere, How Many Kings

The song, "How Many Kings," brings up several questions that leave me in awe of how Great our God really is.

"How many kings stepped down from their throne?

How many lords have abandoned their homes?

How many 'greats' have become the least for me?

How many gods have poured out their hearts, to romance a world that is torn all apart?

How many fathers gave up their sons for me?"

To think that our Savior came to earth as a baby. This baby was born to die in order to forgive us for everything that we will ever do wrong. The Greatest of the Great (Alpha and Omega!) became a mere human in order to die, Our God let His Baby be murdered, He gave up His wonderful time in Heaven (eternal bliss!) to spend thirty some-odd years on Earth, He gives us His Heart and an opportunity for sinners (those who have engaged in a relationship with Satan, even for just one second) to have a relationship with Him every day for the rest of forever.

What kind of God is He that would do something like that for us?

How are you going to serve a God who is that Good?

And Jesus said, "Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone.

-Mark 10:18
