Made Man

Isaiah 46:5 To whom will ye liken me, and make me equal, and compare me, that we may be like?

Think about the mob. A made man was not to be touched by anyone without permission. The consequences for harming a made man was death, swift and violent. A message would be sent to anyone who might even think about touching another made man.

That doesn’t sound very realistic within the realm of man considering we belong to God, and it is God who made us, in His image. Yet it is true.

Job 1:10 Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.

The fact that I don’t always feel like that is the truth does not alter the fact that I belong to God and His blessings are for me and mine. Our feelings are earth born, not of the spirit. That which is spirit is spirit in nature and understanding and is above that which is earth born. Being above, the spirit has superiority above that which is earth born. We suffer in the flesh, but never in the spirit.

The enemy cannot touch, harm, nor stain the spirit, in this I am a made man. Flesh is flesh and will ache, age, wither and die, but the spirit is ageless and eternal, untouchable, incorruptible, God made. When we shed this mortal coil, we shall be surrounded in the spirit with an incorruptible body worthy of the life that lives in us now.

Colossians 1:10-11 That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness;

Yet unlike the worldly seed we can enjoy the fruits of His blessings and experience His glorious power now, before we come to that experience.

Because we are made.
