Divine Majesty

Proverbs 9:10
"The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding."

We have studied a lot already in our series titled Children of the Heavenly Father. Highlights include;
• Shaping Our Faith about the nobleman asking Jesus to heal his dying son.
• The Parable of the MUSTARD SEED
• The Parable of the PRODIGAL SON
• Coat of Many Colors, Free from and Free for… with freedom come responsibility
• Healing and Hope about the young lady brought back to life by Jesus!
• Growing in Body and Spirit about Jesus gone missing from His Mother and Father!
• Sibling Rivalry about Jacob and Esau
• A Child Like Faith about Jesus taking in the children when His Disciples did not want to. Christianity is for ALL AGES!

This week we go back to the Old Testament to study King Solomon. He was able to accomplish what his father King David could not! AND! God granted Solomon's request for one gift; WISDOM. Something we all need more of in our world today. Today's verse from the book of Proverbs, chapter nine, verse ten; "The fear of the LORD is the BEGINNING of WISDOM: and the knowledge of the HOLY is understanding." If it's King Solomon back almost three thousand years ago or you and me today; the first thing we need to know is the Holiness of GOD! We need a healthy appreciation for His Divine Majesty. It's not something we can just learn and comprehend. It is something we study about GOD and the Holy Ghost allows us to apprehend His Divine Majesty! Once we grasp this we can go on to practice our religion truly.

Elisha’s example

1 Kings 19:19-21 "19 So he departed thence, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth: and Elijah passed by him, and cast his mantle upon him. 20 And he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow thee. And he said unto him, Go back again: for what have I done to thee? 21 And he returned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen, and slew them, and boiled their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gave unto the people, and they did eat. Then he arose, and went after Elijah, and ministered unto him." In Luke 9:54, after James and John sought to call down fire on a Samaritan village that rejected Jesus, they referenced Elijah, saying, “even as Elias did?” Jesus then taught three lessons about rejection: 1- Discipleship demands sacrifice, embracing hardship and forgoing earthly security. 2- Following Jesus requires immediate, un...

I will make you

Matthew 4:19&20 "19 And He saith unto them, Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men. 20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed Him." In our "Follow Me" series, we study Jesus calling His disciples in the Gospel of Matthew. By the Sea of Galilee, a thriving fishing hub, Jesus saw Simon and Andrew casting nets as humble fishermen. His disciples were ordinary workers, not wealthy or educated elites. Jesus approached them and said, "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men." Remarkably, they immediately left their jobs to follow Him. This brief exchange conveys a profound truth: Jesus says, "I will make you." Only God can transform us to accomplish His purpose. We should often pray, "Help me, God," seeking Jesus' guidance to follow His plan for our lives.

God’s patience

2 Peter 3:9 "The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." God did not immediately punish King Solomon when he allowed his foreign wives to build altars for false gods. Despite multiple compromises, God remained patient. Over time, Solomon’s endorsement of idolatry defied God’s covenant, leading to divine judgment, including the loss of the kingdom for his son. Some mistake God’s patience for indifference or inaction, but He follows His plan in His timing. If our nation, culture, church, or we ourselves stray like Solomon, we can repent and return to God’s path. And, should do so sooner than later! Amen!
