I AM THE LORD YOUR GOD (Part 6)

For those who think God is not active, God promises in Is 62:1-7 that He won’t rest until purity is restored and there will be no peace until righteousness and salvation comes. Christ was consciously put here by God so that I would know what faith in Him is and what real salvation is. God sees all. He knows all. From the day He created this universe until the day He decides to end this creation, He knew and knows what He has in mind to accomplish. (Col 1:15 –28) At the same time, He wants to let us know that His servant (Jesus Christ) is on earth and that He promises comfort. (Is 66:10 – 14) Why shouldn’t I rejoice and be exceedingly glad? After all, in my attitude is where I receive the blessings of the Father. (Gen 12:3) God’s rulership comes out of Judea; that seems to be the game plan from the day He told Abraham to pack up and leave Ur with His wife. No doubt about it, because along comes the Christ child, who was of lineage of David, and was to be the High Priest for his people, not someone from the tribe of Levi. My attitude is not to worship God in splendor or adornment, not to worship in a display of my talent, but to worship in reverence and on my knees in front of the King of Kings. If I make a golden calf, as the Jews did in Deuteronomy 32:21, of my talents and abilities, if I make a statement saying “Look what I am doing to express my love for God”, it means nothing. Nothing. God looks and says, “That’s fine, what are You doing to show Me, the real Me to them. How are you reflecting Me?” That can only be done with His truth and explaining His power. In Exodus, God was angry with His people and wanted to destroy them, and it took Moses to bring Him to forgive them, to remind Him to forgive them. He will provide, as He says in Psalms 2:8 and again in Psalms 69:35-36, but He will only provide for those who love His Name and long to worship Him, not the image of Him I give off by my all too human interpretation when ever I write a story or play music or dance to Him. Those are personal things to Him from me and if someone wants to go on their own search because of me, more power to them but that is just my interpretation of who I think God is. The true God is in the gospels, and walked with the apostles. And David knew this and foretold the coming, as did Isaiah, as did other prophets and finally John the Baptizer. My attitude is not to sing so that other people can see me sing to Him, but to sing to Him.(Ps 66:4), praise Him (Ps 68:31,32). As we will be glad in the LORD because He has made it and all the world is under His control (Ps 113:3; 118:4)
