Open!

Open!

A [closed-minded] fool does not delight in understanding, But only in revealing his personal opinions [unwittingly displaying his self-indulgence and his stupidity].
PROVERBS 18:2 AMP

How do you see yourself? Do you consider  yourself as someone wise? Actually, your choices define you; you do not get to impose on God how he sees you. As I live my life from day to day, I am revealing the treasures stored up in my heart and as well as preparing for eternity. How are you preparing for your eternal rest?

The bible identifies a fool as anyone who says that there is no God. In the midst of all the amazing things we see; the awesome parts of creation; the flow of the seasons and the ceaseless and changeless nature of time, it is indeed foolishness to ascribe all these things to a big bang, or a theory called evolution. How did anything you see now evolve? From what or where did they evolve from? Who has been able to reproduce any of the amazing parts of creation to function in the same way as the original?

Understanding who God is provides the key to being all that God intends. You have got to spend time with Him, read up about Him and experience Him daily for you to understand Him. As long as I am not doing this, I am telling God I can take care of myself. I am telling God that my opinions are better than God's; and that I have better idead about how things work. These will be the simple examples of foolishness.

I am what I am, where I am and how I am simply because God made it to be. He is the embodiment of life; the resson why life is good. It is not because I am well educated or have a good job or I am connected; I live at the pleasure and command of the Ruler of the Universe. Any other motive, action or thought, which puts ME at the centre of the world and outside of God, is foolishness. When men come in contact with me, what or who do I celebrate: the God who is the essence of wisdom, or myself, the feeble creature whose breath can be taken away in an instant? Where do you stand? His time of favour is here.
