Psalm 103:1 (ESV/emphasis added/jaj)...."Bless The Lord, O my Soul, And ALL That Is Within me, Bless HIS Holy NAME!"....
PJP2 PROLOG POST 160728 -Job 28:12-13, 23-24, 28 (ESV/emphasis added/jaj)...."BUT Where Shall Wisdom Be Found? And Where Is The Place Of Understanding? Man Does NOT Know Its Worth, And It Is NOT Found in the land of the living.....God Understands The Way To IT, And HE Knows ITS Place. For HE Looks to the ends of the earth And Sees Everything under the heavens.....And God Said to man, ‘BEHOLD, The FEAR (Faithful Esteem, Adoration, Respect) Of The Lord, THAT IS Wisdom, AND to Turn Away from evil IS Understanding.’”....
One might say that Job 28:12-13, 23-24 and 28 have little to perhaps nothing to do with God's LOVE and our LOVE of one another through Him. Perhaps.....BUT I Hear The Holy Spirit saying, "Jeff, Trust ME.".....
Thus, as we Ponder the PJP2 PROLOG POST 160728 this morning, consider this with me....IF we were to ask Job's question to ourselves (Where's God's Wisdom Found/His Place of Understanding?) I am sure we would first point to His WORD, as well as to His Son, our Lord Jesus, and His Holy Spirit that LIVES within us.
Ok, I am good with that for certain.
So, let's ask the logical follow-on....Presuming that we do Connect to God and His LOVE via HIS WORD, Son and Holy Spirit - then How would that be Reflected via our own LIVES? What would 'Alert' us that we'd made The Connection?
God's LOVE Flowing In, Around and Through us is What I Hear The Holy Spirit Sharing. The FEAR Of The Lord is part of His Evidence to us that His LOVE is Flowing such. That makes sense to me as well - IF we Are Reflecting Faithful Esteem Adoration and Respect to Him, that, logically, would be Reflected in our Dealings with our Fellow Men. Turning Away from evil, as well, I'm Hearing, makes that Statement that our Focus Is Locked Onto Him and His Way in our Lives.
Now, Team, in no-way am I suggesting that THIS is easy.....Nope, I'd have to say it is very challenging.....hence why our Lord Jesus termed it "The Narrow Way" (check out Matthew 7:13-14)....
BUT (Behold the Underlying TRUTH) - let us not be discouraged, for as we Know, God The Father Assures and Reassures us multiple times that HE IS WITH US, now and forever.....
LOVE - Lord's Obvious Validation (of His) Enchantment (towards us) :) John 3:16 (ESV)..."For God so LOVED the world THAT HE Sent His Only Son, That whosoever BELIEVES In HIM should not perish BUT Have Everlasting LIFE."....
My Prayer for us today would be - Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, Father God, Thank You for Your Love, Your Enchantment towards us. Lord Jesus, Help us to Grasp Your Wisdom and Understanding. Holy Spirit, Plant Your Seed of Grace in our Hearts and Help That to Grow. Father God, Continue to Teach us The Appropriate FEAR of You and Guide us in Helping us Transform to Become more and more Like Your Son, our Lord Jesus. Lord Jesus we do Pray all our Prayers in Your Holy Name. Amen....Amen....jaj
