My heart beats wildly

-

We know that God listens only to people who love and obey him. John 9:31A (CEV)  

People are arrogantly indifferent to God— until, of course, they're in trouble, and then God is indifferent to them. There's nothing behind such prayers except panic; the Almighty pays them no mind. Job 35:12-13 (MSG)

"His eyes see how people live. He watches every step they take. There isn't a dark place or deep shadow where those who do what is evil can hide. Job 34:21-22 (NIRV)  

God always answers, one way or another, even when people don't recognize his presence. In a dream, for instance, a vision at night, when men and women are deep in sleep, fast asleep in their beds— God opens their ears and impresses them with warnings To turn them back from something bad they're planning, from some reckless choice, And keep them from an early grave, from the river of no return. Job 33:14-18 (MSG)  

If God were to take back his spirit and withdraw his breath, all life would cease, and humanity would turn again to dust. Job 34:14-15 (NLT)  

If a person truly belongs to God, they can actually hear when God is speaking to them. (John 8:47)  

The storm makes my heart beat wildly. Listen, all of you, to the voice of God, to the thunder that comes from his mouth. He sends the lightning across the sky, from one end of the earth to the other. Then the roar of his voice is heard, the majestic sound of thunder, and all the while the lightning flashes. At God's command amazing things happen, wonderful things that we can't understand. Job 37:1-5 (GNT). 


“The secret things belong to the Lord our God. But the things that are made known belong to us and to our children forever, so we may obey all the words of this Law." Deuteronomy 29:29 (NLV)

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
