Alone

Deuteronomy 4:35 To you it was shown, that you might know that the Lord is God; there is no other besides him.

Psalm 10:4 In the pride of his face the wicked does not seek him; all his thoughts are, “There is no God.”

Psalm 53:1  The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, doing abominable iniquity; there is none who does good.

Yesterday I said “Go with God, or go it alone.” I am sure there are those who do not believe there are gods much less the Lord God Most High. If you do not abide in Christ you are alone spiritually, a spirit alone is a dead spirit, disconnected from its creator. If you do not believe there is a Sovereign God, then you are truly alone inside yourself. For those who cry out, “I am not alone!” You are right in one sense, you are bundled.

Matthew 13:30 Let both grow together until the harvest, and at harvest time I will tell the reapers, “Gather the weeds first and bind them in bundles to be burned, but gather the wheat into my barn.”

Look around you and ask yourself, “How did I get bundled with these people?”

Finish

Genesis 2 English Standard Version

The Seventh Day, God Rests

1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. 2 And on the seventh day God finished his work that he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work that he had done. 3 So God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it God rested from all his work that he had done in creation.

Basic training has to come to an end. The eternal God has finished His work. In His eternal realm He is finished and the thing that disturbs most of us is a sense that God is done with us.

“All the host” is a representation of everything that has ever taken breath, including those that have not even been born yet. We are living in time and we are not done.

The only comfort I can take from those thoughts is that since God is finished, then He will not change what He has done. 

Psalm 55:19 God will give ear and humble them, he who is enthroned from of old, Selah because they do not change and do not fear God.

While God does not change His mind, we can. So what are our choices?

Go with God, or go it alone.

How can we go with God?

Ezekiel 36:26 And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.

Psalm 21:2 You have given him his heart’s desire and have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah

Proverbs 23:26 My son, give me your heart, and let your eyes observe my ways.

God wants our hearts. If we do that, we will discover what God intended for us from the very beginning.

Revelation 10:7 but that in the days of the trumpet call to be sounded by the seventh angel, the mystery of God would be fulfilled, just as he announced to his servants the prophets.

Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.
