Not About Me November {Day 2}

11/1/2011

7 Comments

 

What I Know is Not About Me

Picture
 "Can you raise your voice to the clouds and cover yourself with a flood of water? Do you send the lightning bolts on their way? Do they report to you, 'Here we are'? Who endowed the heart with wisdom or gave understanding to the mind? Who has the wisdom to count the clouds? Who can tip over the water jars of the heavens..." Job 38:34-37

Wisdom and understanding are all about Him. From Him and for Him

I absolutely am facinated in thinking about how much God knows.
Everything about me physically, mentally, emotionally, socially... everything. And about you. And about my great great great grandma, who I don't even know who she is. But God knows her. He knows everything about her. Why she made every decisions she ever made, why she felt every feeling she ever felt. Why she loved what she loved and hated what she hated. He knew her.

And to think that anytime we know something, it is because He has given us minds to understand. Brains that work and process information. And He has revealed the workings of what we learned. Like technology. He chose now, this generation to have access to reaching the world through a computer screen.

Or how He allowed scientist to think the world was flat for so long (when He spelled in out in scripture that the world was a sphere) but then He provided informaton and understanding through science to learn the earth really was in fact like He said it was, a sphere.

And I love how He has revealed His plan for the redemption of mankind progrssively. Beautiful!!!

And not only is it beautiful that He reveals knowledge but that He also hides knowledge.
Austin and I were discussing what things, what information we will not tell our kids at this point. And we came to the conclusion that it would be things that will cause them harm. I think God is the same. He does not tell us things that would harm us.

The Holy Spirit is the teacher, the revealer of truth, the One who gives us understanding, insight, disernment, revelation. The truths I know are because He allowed me to understand. He gave me the ability to understand and is the One who enabled it to not be hidden any longer. 

To say, "I get it" is a gift from Him, through Him and for Him!

I am so glad God stands in our yesterday, today and tomorrow...that he knows all and sees all. That can live with expectation because of what Jesus did for us!:)

Blessings Laura,

This is a great idea and the focus of my blog! I love your video on this! Nice to meet you! I doing a GIVING THANKS CHALLENGE but I can see this being a wonderful challenge any month of the year.

I really love the simple photo of the light bulb connected with scripture verses from Job. We do need to be connected spiritually to our Source every day, don't we? To give light and have power, too!

Your words in your message are beautiful and uplifting and indeed it is a gift from Him, an "indescribable gift" in my WFW today!

EnJOY a wonderful day in the Lord and may your 16 days be all about HIM!
Peggy
(Hoping I remember to come and continue reading this journey of yours "Beholding Glory"...that too is all about Him!)

great correlation of what we choose to tell our kids...according to what they can handle at the time...
I also love the It's not about me November...I just used those very words today when talking to my husband...
Blessings as we find greater freedom...because it is not about us...
