Was reading the passage and word for quiet time on our journey today... the words written are so true... how often have I placed myself in the centre, enthroning me and dethroning God... I am reminded once again how selfish I have become over the years... Thinking that I have been dethroning myself and enthroning God... But how often have I made empty promises to God so that I could claim His blessings in my life? How often have I been feeding my control addiction with the drug of manipulation? How often have I allowed my egocentrism to rule my life?
I have been denying the desire I have to be God... I have been living in disillusion... On one hand I am believing that I am preaching and practicing what I preach... To put God in the centre and everything else would fall into place nicely...
Ha! How foolish have I been to believe that I am indeed practicing this truth! What a liar I have been to myself... It may be true that I have place God in the centre most of the time... Yet from time to time, I would dethrone Him and put myself on the throne, especially when things don't go the way I wish it would be... How foolish am I O Lord... To think that I can outdo You! Lord... Forgive me....
Revelation 4:2-10 illustrated clearly this theory... I shouldn't term it a theory... I should say that it is a lifestyle... To live a life where everything else in existence is accurately described only in its relationship to the throne of God... The centre of all existence is God upon His throne...
Today's revelation is to learn to view life fromt he vantage point of the one who spoke it into existence... to have the "mind of Christ" as written in 1 Corinthians 2:16... To lay it before the throne of God and with prayers move the challenges of life from our own insecurities and uncertainties on earth to the throne of God in the heavenly realm... it's only in this way are we able to see beyong the present and look at what is to come with hope, depending not on our own strength but putting our dependence on our Lord God Almighty... To cast the crowns of our life before His throne... To approach the throne of life with confidence...
Come to His courts, with praise on our lips...
Our hearts, and our minds, and our souls worship Him...
Bow on our knees, lift up our hands, joining the angels above...
Declaring holy holy is the Lord God Almighty, Who was and is and is to come...
Holy holy is the Lord God Almighty, Who was and is and is to come...
Indeed God is God... Nothing else could take His place... He is Lord God Almighty... He is the great I AM... He is omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent... There is nothing in this world, which He has created that the Lord do not know... He is the reason that I live, the reason that I sing with all I am... Because He is God, I can face tomorrow... Because I know, He holds the future... And in Him I can trust fully...
Thanks be to God!!!! I've passed and obtained my driver's licence... I think 24ths are good days... In 2003, May 24th... I was baptised... In 2005, October 24th... I passed my driving test... My God is an amazing God... He allows everything to fall in place so beautifully... Now Expo may be at the other end of the island... But because God is good... I can drive there now... =)
