"I will
give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Your
works, and my soul knows it very well" (Psa. 139:14).
Hey Gang, As I have traversed through this life on
earth, I have grown more amazed daily at the magnificence of God's creation,
namely me. I have been amazed with the
unlimited capabilities of the control center that God placed in our heads. I have read, and heard it said many times,
that the average person uses but a tiny bit of that capacity. Have you ever taken a moment or two just to
take a deeper look at the center of your electrical system, your brain?
God placed this magnificent miracle in each and
even person whom He created. You do
believe you were created by God even before time began, don't you? Paul made this clear in his letter to the
Colossians, "For by Him all things
were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether
thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities - all things have been created
through Him and for Him" (Col. 1:16).
I woke up this morning with the song "We Shall
Behold Him" running through my electrical system. I wish I could say I always wake up with a
song on my heart but that would be an untruth.
But within a few moments the song passed and the challenges of the day
became my focus
Now for the goodie of the day, God also gave us the
ability to program our electrical systems to bring honor and glory to our
Creator. I have often used the analogy
that we have knobs on the inside of our foreheads; these are designed to hang
knowledge that God can pull out of us when the need should arise.
Here is a question for you to ponder this
morning? Can God pull out of you knowledge
that you never put in? Oh, I know the
God is all powerful and can do as He pleases but do you think He might depend
on you to put into your brain those things that He can pull out when you get in
a bind?
I do believe that is what Paul was talking about in
his letter to the Romans when he wrote, "I
urge you, brethren by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and
holy sacrifice, acceptable to God which is your spiritual service of
worship." That is the
principle, now he gives the application "Do
not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your
mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and
acceptable and perfect" (Rom. 12:1-2).
So, good and faithful believers in Yeshua, your
task for the day is take a few minutes and hang a new piece of knowledge on one
of those knobs in your head that God can use to mold you into the image of His
Son, Jesus Christ. He gave you 66 books to help you learn to know Him better.
Blessings,
Gramps
