KNOWING GOD BETTER

  If it’s true that a name is indicative of the character and destiny of a person, it’s even MORE true  of the names given to God.   From His might (El Shaddai) to His grace (El Channun ) to His holiness (El Hakkadosh), God has  revealed Himself in His names. And every one of them describes a different attribute.   I am particularly impacted by the name Jehovah because it means “the covenant-keeping God.”   God’s covenant with us is the basis for our healing, blessing, provision...and most of all, our salvation.   The Lord (Jehovah) promised His people special covenant blessings if they obeyed Him.   One of the wonderful benefits of living in covenant with God, knowing Him as Jehovah, is you are literally chased by God’s blessings.   Deuteronomy 28:1-14 paints a beautiful picture of some of the blessings you can expect when you’re walking in God’s favor and living in covenant with Jehovah. And notice how all-inclusive God’s blessings will be.   But keep in

WISE IN OUR OWN EYES

“Like snow in summer and like rain in harvest, so honor is not fitting for a fool . . .   Do you see a man wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him.” Proverbs 26:1, 12 NASB The first eleven verses of this chapter describe a fool, and the consequences of being foolish. For example, “A rod for the back of a fool . . . like the legs of the lame that hang limp is a proverb in the mouth of a fool . . . As a dog returns to his own vomit so a fool repeats his folly.” However, there is a change in verse twelve. While it is bad to be a fool, Solomon (the writer of this chapter) described a condition that is worse: It may be bad to be foolish, but there is more hope for a fool than for a person who is “wise in his own eyes.” These are people who have an exalted opinion about themselves. They are proud and arrogant. For example, even though “honor is not fitting for a fool,” so honor is even less fitting for one who is proud and wise in his own eyes.

RECOGNITION

“When you give to the poor, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do . . . so that they may be honored by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full. But when you give to the poor, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing.” Matthew 6:2-3 NASB For many living in ancient Rome, recognition was a primary goal. In his book about Julius Caesar’s extended family, historian Tom Holland describes how praise was craved by Romans at every level. It wasn’t enough to do something noteworthy. Romans needed to be honored. The names of those who had done significant things “were inscribed everywhere in Rome: on the pedestals of statutes, on monuments in the Forum, on publicly displayed lists of consuls and priests.” Victorious generals expected public celebrations and parades. This focus on attention went back to the foundation of the city. Summarizing this pattern, Holland writes, “The surest punishment was not death but to be consigned to oblivi

HOW TO LIVE A BLAMELESS LIFE

Do you long to live a blissful life in heaven and bask in the joy of God's presence? then you must live a blameless life. Psalm 15:1-2 tells us that the person who will dwell in God's sanctuary and live in His Holy hill must be "he who walks blamelessly and does what is right and speaks the truth in his heart." When you completely obey God's commandments and ordinances, and you live a righteous life , you're blameless before Him. This means a blameless life is one that is: Free from all sin and reproach. A righteous and sanctified life. A life that doesn't defraud others. a life that doesn't compromise with the sinful ways of the world The blameless life is a life of integrity and honesty anywhere you find yourself especially at school without hidden sin or agenda, a life wholly conformed, de- voted to controlled and influenced by the dictates of God's and the Holy Spirit. BLAMELESS B-Blessing to others L-Loving in all rel
