Monday Morsels

We have 3000 years of manuscript evidence. It is a book worth preserving, and so, it is a book worth consuming! It has been lasted this long and it will last forever.

Jesus is different. He is set-apart. He is a spiritual being as well as the physical man who walked the earth. We are not only made in His physical image, but also His spiritual image, which is why He placed eternity in our hearts.

Although the Bible does not mention the Trinity in name, we can see from scripture that the triune Godhead is who God is. The Bible speaks of God as a single entity. The Father is called God. Jesus calls Himself God, and the Son of God, and the Holy Spirit is called God.

Together, Joseph and Mary were chosen because they were the best earthly parents for the Messiah. God knew their souls intimately. Their humility must have made them wonder why the God who created the Universe with His voice would choose to entrust them with raising His only begotten Son.

Together, the three of them, Mordecai, Esther, and Xerxes, prevent a holocaust. There was an immense amount of trust between the three of them.

The story of Ruth is a beautiful example of a woman’s dedication to the people she loves and her love for the God of those people, but for this episode, as we look at the book of Ruth, I want to focus on Boaz. Even though the book is not named after him, he is in no way a secondary character.

By itself, it is a great story, but… when we add the element of God’s divine hand and all the details that He sprinkles on us, we are left with an amazing tale about Rehabs identity in a different light.

Despite ourselves, God can and will prevail when we trust Him and see ourselves as He does. He saw Gideon as the warrior, before Gideon could even begin to believe it for himself. 

The enemy is stretching his bony fingers into every facet imaginable in an attempt to pull our youth from God’s grip. Unfortunately it’s working. Churches are losing our kids as soon as they leave home. We have to do more. Prayer is great, but maybe its time to get our hands dirty.

Because when we know Who God is, we know He can and will use us to be a hero to someone, somewhere in our world. So my actual final question for you today is… “who’s hero will you be?”
