I live on High, but I'm with the Low

-
God says, "I live in a high and holy place, but I also live with people who are sad and humble. 

I give new life to those who are humble and to those whose hearts are broken". Isaiah 57:15B NCV

I say to you, ‘Don’t be afraid. I am here to help you'. Isaiah 41:13 NL 

“From eternity to eternity I am God. No one can snatch anyone out of my hand. No one can undo what I have done.” Isaiah 43:13 (NLT)  

Nobody can speak and have it happen unless the Lord commands it. Lamentations 3:37 (NCV)  

I will sprinkle you with clean water, and you will be clean and acceptable to me. 

I will wash away everything that makes you unclean, and I will remove your disgusting idols. 

I will take away your stubborn heart and give you a new heart and a desire to be faithful. 

You will have only pure thoughts, because I will put my Spirit in you and make you eager to obey my laws and teachings. Ezekiel 36:25-27 (CEV)  

The laws of the Lord are true; each one is fair. They are more desirable than gold,  even the finest gold. 

They are sweeter than honey, even honey dripping from the comb. They are a warning to your servant, a great reward for those who obey them. Psalm 19:10

Plant the good seeds of righteousness, and you will harvest a crop of (God's) love.  

Plow up the hard ground of your hearts, for now is the time to seek the Lord, that he may come and shower righteousness upon you.’ Hosea 10:12 (NLT)  

God can do anything, you know—far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams! 

He does it not by pushing us around but by working within us, his Spirit deeply and gently within us. Ephesians 3:20 (MSG)  

Until what God says actually happens, it tests us to reveal what we really believe. Psalm 105:19  

To ask God in prayer to do something that He has said in His Word that He has already done is a sign of unbelief and angers God. (M. H. Dennis)

Uneducated but Useful

During a Jewish festival in Jerusalem, Jesus shook up the religious establishment of His day when He had the gall to go into THEIR temple and preach (John 7:14).  With Jesus having NO formal training, they were aghast that He would do such a thing! Later, Peter and John stirred up the hornet’s nest AGAIN by doing exactly the same thing (Acts 4:13). How DARE they? Those guys are “uneducated and common men”   they snarled until they finally hung their heads. Because THEN they suddenly realized, those guys KNEW Jesus.  ASK, why would God put His own Son through the school of hard knocks by filling His hands with blisters and splinters?  Couldn’t God just put Him through the best religious institution? You know He could. ASK why did Jesus’ eyes squint through the Sun’s blinding reflection on those choppy waters while looking for those hard working fishermen? YELLING,  “let me show you how to do that with people!" (Matthew 4:19)!” If you want something di

The Night's Sky

Psalm 19:9B-11 (NLT) The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky displays what his hands have made.  One day tells a story to the next. One night shares knowledge with the next without talking,without words, without their voices being heard.  Yet, their sound has gone out into the entire world, their message to the ends of the earth. Psalm 19:1-4A (GW) When I look at the night sky and see the work of your fingers—the moon and the stars you set in place— what are mere mortals that you should think about them,human beings that you should care for them?  Yet you made them only a little lower than God and crowned them with glory and honor. You gave them charge of everything you made,putting all things under their authority—Psalm 8:3-6 (NLT) You have looked deep into my heart, LORD, and you know all about me.  You know when I am resting or when I am working, and from heaven you discover my thoughts.  You notice everything I do and everywhere I go.

Too earthly minded. No heavenly good.

"Pursue the things over which Christ presides.  Don't shuffle along, eyes to the ground, absorbed with the things right in front of you.  Look up, and be alert to what is going on around Christ—that's where the action is.  See things from his perspective. (Col. 3:2 MSG)" Reality includes a loving God who is watching you and over you in heaven. When you forget that fact, that's when the problems within your temporal world delude your life.  If you don't walk in this truth, it is a symptom of unbelief, and pulls you out of a right relationship with God.  Here's a way to determine if your walking in faith or unbelief.  Ask am I thinking from heaven to earth, or from earth to heaven? M. H. Dennis
