Knowledge obligates
Life liberates
Knowledge is for enslavement
Life is for choice
Knowledge is true or false
Life is moral or immoral
Knowledge is fed or received
Life is achieved
Knowledge goes on a hard drive
Life is the owner of that drive
This is the difference between the Tree of Knowledge and the Tree of Life.
Are you justified
or are you growing?
You have a Father
who is there for you to blame
or to ask for guidance.
It is a simple choice
and it reveals who you are.
Revelation is about revealing you to Him.
I thought the entire world had gone mad,
but then I read some sense in the comments.
The commandments are fought over by people who do not know your word
and many are murdered in the name of the commandments
despite the commandments to love one another
and to not murder one another.
The children want to sing, shout and spray the word
but do not want to live it.
They want to be chosen and receive power over nations
but know nothing of humbling themselves before you.
They are eager to condemn the ones who stumble on their way
because their faith hinges on social condemnation.
This is no different than the Roman Empire.
How much like their Father are they?
Do they walk in His way?
Or are they serving another master?
Dear God,
I repent for allowing this world to convince me
that you are something other than what you are.
I repent for taking their word for it, before seeking the word you gave to me.
The word which many people died to preserve.
I thank you for sending the Holy Spirit and the Spirit of Truth through Jesus
otherwise there is no salvation in this world.
Thank you for allowing me to receive the bread you send to your children.
Let every step I make be of your will
so that I might see your glory more everyday.
The Serpent has conjured up a cryptic world
and the lights are flashing in a cryptic fashion
unexplained experiences with cryptic meanings
forming questions which have no answers
And now nobody knows what is true
yet everybody needs to tell you what they made to be true
convince and persuade
debate and compel
begging others to change their heart
but not willing in their own heart
But the Truth was there all along
persevering through all that few have persevered through
It is hard to get through the Old Testament.
That is a common reaction when trying to read the Bible.
It may help to read Matthew first.
Then invite Jesus to read the entire Bible with you.
Look at it with Grace.
We do not read the Word of God.
We ask the Word of God to guide us
when reading the Bible
and in every moment of our life.
Jesus is The Word of God.
