the ways of man: The Fix-it Shop-Filling Station

“For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD:”

Proverbs 5 deals with sexual sin.  This sin seems to be right up there with rejection of Jesus, as Lord and Savior. 

Why?  Because woman was made explicitly for man and man for woman.  One for One.

The Lord demands we be true to Him, that we have NO OTHER GODS BEFORE US.  He is a jealous God.   He expects us to be true to the one He gave us to love, and true to Him.

If we aren’t true to the one we love on earth, we cannot be true to the One above.  As we wonder away from one, we are sliding away from the Other.

Proverbs: 5. 21-23
“For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, and he pondereth all his goings.   His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be holden with the cords of his sins.   He shall die without instruction; and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.”

In the greatness of our folly, we go astray.  

We can look, but not touch.  We can touch, just this once. Twice will not hurt, it will not become a habit.

Till we are lost.  Stay true to the Lord and your earthly love.  You will find peace and joy forever more.

I have no delight in thee; – The Fix-it Shop-Filling Station

Have you ever considered, that the Lord will say:  “I have no delight in thee;”

You know there will be believers, who will hear: “Depart from Me, I never knew you.” 

How can this be?  Will He say it to you?  Why would He say this to believers?

We see why, in the story of the Talents. (Mathew 25).  The Master left His servants Talents, (money?),  those who increased those Talents were blessed, those who buried them heard, “Depart”.  When the Master returned.

We are usually taught the Talents were money.   Did He leave you any money?  I didn’t think  so.

Are you a servant of Jesus? 

Do you really think the Talents He left are in knowing how to invest, how to make money?

NO,  …..  HE LEFT US, (sent  us), HIS HOLY SPIRIT. 

He would have us increase in our ability to walk in His will, by the Power and Grace of the Holy Spirit.

He would have signs and wonders following those who believe.  He promised they would, why don’t they?

WE HAVE BURIED THE HOLY SPIRITS GIFTS.

He gave us His Holy Spirit,  a lot of churches acknowledge the existence of, but deny the power, gifts and works of Him today.   They are burying the Talents He would have us increase.

There is a time, when we will be asked, how we increased His Kingdom, by the use of His Gifts.

Please, …  SEEK THE BEST GIFTS. 

The gifts needed for today, it may be the Gift of Faith, or Healings, Miracles, Prophecy, Discerning of spirits, Words of Wisdom or Knowledge.

Or heaven forbid the Gift of tongues, (so you have a better prayer life, in private with God.

Or tongues and interpretation to exhort and comfort your brothers in Christ in public.

Read the whole word, Paul says:  SEEK YE THE BEST GIFTS.  Just use them in love.

Will the Lord have delight in us?

2 Samuel: 15. 26.
“But if he thus say, I have no delight in thee; behold, here am I, let him do to me as seemeth good unto him.”

This scripture is from the time King David is fleeing from his son Absolom.  He sent the Ark of the Lord back to Jerusalem. 

Declaring he would wait and see whether the Lord allowed him to  see it again or not.

David was rewarded because of his faith and his life of repentance.

We will be rewarded because of our faith, life of repentance and our obedience in loving God and each other, by supplying their needs. 

Both by physical means, food, clothes, financial help and by Spiritual means, Words of comfort, grace, direction.  Healings and Miracles.

Be a Holy Spirit dispenser.  Meet the needs of others.

He will give His Gifts to those who can be trusted to use them for His Glory.  Is that you?

“According to your faith be it unto you.”
