DESPERATELY SEEKING SANITY
All the bible is divinely prophetic in it’s analysis, in it’s teaching, in it’s prophecies. It can if one allows it to do so; discern the very thoughts and intents of the heart. There is a passage in Proverbs which describes a reoccurring factor of humanity and four of it’s flaws which each succeeding generation falls into.
(11) There is a generation that curses their father, and does not bless their mother.
(12) There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their own filth.
(13) There is a generation, O how lofty are their eyes! And their eyelids are lifted up.
(14) There is a generation whose teeth are like swords, and their jaw teeth like knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men. Proverbs 30:11-14 MKJV
1. Verse 11 defines for us children who are without the attributes of grace, or natural affection and respect for their parents.
2. Verse 12 defines for us those whom are hypocritically judgmental of others, while never getting cleansed of their own faults and flaws.
3. Verse 13 defines for us those who are full of pride and arrogance, full of themselves, self loving narcissist deeming themselves head and shoulders above everyone.
4. Verse 14 defines for us those who use craftiness and deceptive words to become powerful and oppressive to bring pain and suffering to the poor and needy.
One only needs to look around themselves observantly to see these dynamic in full motion. We are most definitely living in a generation which has intensified in ungrateful children, hypocrites, arrogance, and oppression. The divine directive of revelation has projected this for our good and not our evil. God always makes his children aware so that the element of paralytic fear cannot grasp our minds and defeat us in the midst of the turmoil of it all.
These factors of fear are designed to drive us to the brink of emotional insanity, and to immobilize us from performing the work of God as children of God. The world is an insatiable leech which is constantly sucking out the life flow of every individual with the mission of draining us spiritually, emotionally, and physically.
However there is one good thing about these seemingly insurmountable sorrows; they help to keep us focused upon the Lord.
(30) When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee, even in the latter days, if thou turn to the LORD thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice; Deuteronomy 4:30 KJV
Our faith in the power, ability, and intervention of our God in times of trouble help to sustain us, if we trust totally in Him.
(1) Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
(2) By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
(3) And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
(4) And patience, experience; and experience, hope:
(5) And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. Romans 5:1-5 KJV
Our sanity and sanctity is in a firm foundation, the love of God. Our faith is empowered by our love, because now our love has turned from human into a divine agape which elevates us into at realm of rejoicing in the hope of the glory of God. We are justified by that same faith and now peace permeates and radiates through us. Selah...
