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.

Matthew 6:27 "27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?" Jesus has questions... Beginning our study this week with "Why Do You Worry?" Questions have always been a cornerstone of education, used to assess students’ knowledge, promote comprehension, and stimulate critical thinking. Well-crafted questions lead to new insights, generate discussion, and promote the comprehensive exploration of the subject. It makes sense that GOD would use questions VERY effectively. In yesterday's verses, Jesus asked "Are you not MUCH BETTER than birds?" His questions do not end there. In today's verse we read another one, "Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?" This is a sentence our culture needs to learn. No anxiety, no thinking, no wanting will alter our bodily height, or any other condition of our life that is fixed by God’s laws. We often wish things were different than they are, but our "wo...

Romans 6:3&4 "3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we are buried with Him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life." In our studies we are striving to understand God’s love and care. God's unconditional love for His followers, appreciating that we are part of GOD’S family! God is with us from cradle to grave. His divine presence is always giving us purpose and guidance. One of the most important milestones in the life of a Christian is baptism. When we are baptized, an indelible mark is made on our soul. This mark signifies a permanent transformation and dedication of the individual to God. The act of Baptism involves water and the invocation of the Holy Trinity. This ritual is seen as a symbolic washing away of original sin and a new birth into the life of Christ. Baptism is a foundational s...

praise Him

Luke 1:51-53 "51 He hath shewed strength with His arm; He hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. 52 He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree. 53 He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away." This is Mary's Magnificat. Beginning with verse forty-six Mary's responds to Elizabeth’s blessing is EPIC! In this poem Mary praises GOD for His blessing to her and His faithfulness to Israel.  Mary's Magnificat also highlights a series of reversals in which the proud are humbled and the humble are exalted! Which we read in today's verses; "He hath shewed STRENGTH with His arm; He hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and EXALTED them of low degree. He hath FILLED the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away." We should marvel at GOD'S choice of this poor young girl to be the m...
