This morning, when I was reading in Philemon and Hebrews (oh and making my grocery list, you have to multitask when you have two littles running around like crazies.) I was reminded of the verses at the beginning of Hebrews: "For to which of the Angels did God ever say, "You are my Son, today I have begotten you"? ...And again, when he brings the firstborn into the world, he says, "Let all God's Angels worship him." -Hebrews 1:5-6
Also in Hebrews, 5:5-6 it reads "...You are my Son, today I have begotten you; as he says also in another place." This is to be in reference to John 3:16 where it says "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son..." And so all who believes this truth will sing of His name and worship Him. Whomever shall believe of this truth will have eternal life and never perish. How beautiful is this truth. Amazing, it is. In Philemon it says, verses 6 and 7, "...and I pray that the sharing of your faith may become effective for the full knowledge of every good thing that is in is for the sake of Christ. For I have derived much joy and comfort from your love, my brother, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you." As in 1 Peter 3:15 it reads, "...but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect..." God is appointing us to always share our faith, so we will become more knowledgable in the process, so we may honor Christ and so we will be gentle while doing so. Also, in Hebrews 1:10-12 it says "You, Lord, laid the foundation of the earth in the beginning, and the heaven are the work of your hands; they will perish, but you remain; they will all wear out like a garment, like a robe you will roll them up, like a garment they will be changed. But you are the same, and your years will have no end." I believe him to be describing here that the world will come to an end one day, but our God and His heavens will remain resolute. These verses are in reference to Genesis where God created the heavens and He then created the earth. I just really enjoy when verses in the bible intertwine. It is so beautifully written without flaw. His words are truth and it is recognized again and again through the bible where there are multiple reminders of what has been done, what is promised and what is commanded of us. "And though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him--a threefold cord is not quickly broken." -Ecclesiastes 4:12 A three strand cord is not easily torn. When we have communion with God and fellowship with our spouse or friends of accountability, then we are able to resist what is not of the Lord. Let us be obedient, O God. Please help me to keep my eyes on You, Lord. Let us remember, always, that You do not perish and You love us unconditionally. Help us to be gentle and remember to share your truths as freely as you give them. Amen.
