Hovering Doom

Proverbs 26:2

2 As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not come.

Proverbs 26:2 AMP Version

2 Like a fluttering sparrow or a darting swallow,

an (undeserved)curse will not land on its intended victim.

Doom or Curses Sometimes (Hovering) Over our heads cause undue alarm and fear…

Like the bird that is flying by and overhead is just looking for a place to land…

You can’t prevent the birds from flying over but it is in your power that they find no place to land…

Evil always seems present but don’t give it a landing place!

[Little] but “Exceeding Wise”

Proverbs 30:24-28

24 There be four things which are (little) upon the earth, but they are exceeding wise:

25 The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their meat in the summer;

26 The conies are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks;

27 The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands;

28 The spider taketh hold with her hands, and is in kings' palaces.

Four Points of (Exceeding Wisdom)-

⁃ Preparation doesn’t need Strength-(Ants)

⁃ Rock Solid Housing by the Feeble-(Conies)

⁃ Unity without a King-(Locusts)

⁃ Presence is not Predjudice-(Spiders)

The Paradox of the Teacher

Psalms 143:10

10 Teach me to *do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; *lead me into the land of uprightness.

A Teacher Teaches-

He can only Teach if He has Students…

This validates his designation as a Teacher!

Herein lies the difficulty of the Paradox-

The *Attitude of the Student!

Does the Student want to be taught or is he or she there against their will?

The Paradox is that most often the Teacher isn’t really Teaching, because of the student’s attitude…

But What a Miracle Takes Place When the Student “Requests” for the Teacher to (Teach Me).

The Teacher Becomes Inspired and the Student begins a Journey of Transformation-

• Doing his Will

• Being Led to the Land of Uprightness

The Paradox of the Teacher…

Are You Being Taught?

May be Dependent on whether you have “Asked”

To Be Taught…

1 Peter 4:11

Sometimes

Psalms 119:176

176 I have gone astray like a lost sheep;

(seek thy servant); for I do not forget thy commandments.

• The shifting sands of life sometimes leave us on strange shores…

• The spinning around and around of Life sometimes leave us disorientated…

• The darkness and clouds of despair sometimes leave us groping…

• The tidal wave of demands sometimes leave us drowning, gasping for breath…

Sometimes-

There is No Way We Can Even Begin to Find Where the Lord Is-

And all that is left in a final desperate moment, is crying out- “Lord, Seek Thy Servant”

In Other Words-

Come Find Me Lord, Because I Can’t Find You!

Wherever you are and if it seems like you just can’t find God?

Just Cry Out in Prayer- Lord Please come and Find Me!

Because He Hears the Cry of His Sheep…

And Will Come Find You When You Can’t Find Him!

Because… “Sometimes”

The Answer to my Dilemma

Proverbs 30:4

4 Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell?

All Because of the Son’s Name…

Dumb, Blind and Deaf

Psalms 135:15-18

15 The idols of the heathen are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.

16 They have mouths, but (they speak not); eyes have they, but (they see not);

17 They have ears, but (they hear not);

neither is there any breath in their mouths.

***18 They that make them (are like unto them):

so is every one that trusteth in them.

Symbols whether emotional or endearing

Should never become an Idol!

They can emanate (memories and passions)

But they do not have a life of their own…

An Idol is (Anything) that you Worship or

Put in front of God!

⁃ The Idols are (Dumb) they cannot speak

⁃ The Idols are (Blind) They cannot see

⁃ The Idols are (Deaf) they cannot hear

There is No Breath in Them…

The Bible says-

They that made them…

And they that Trust in them-

“Are Just Like Them”

Dumb, Blind and Deaf…

Home Grown Preachers

Micah 2:11

11 If a man walking in the spirit and falsehood do lie, saying, I will prophesy unto thee of wine and of strong drink; he shall even be the prophet of this people.

Micah 2:11 NLTSE

11 Suppose a prophet full of lies would say to you,

"I'll preach to you the joys of wine and alcohol!"

That's just the kind of prophet you would like!

Why Pay the Exorbitant Price for the Real Deal?

When you can grow your own?

Much Cheaper, and You Can Design him (Your Way)

While it Seems That in This Generation,

We are (So Afraid) of (Losing Control)…

We fail to realize that our way is not always God’s Way

And often as not we end up back in a mess…

If Our Way Was So Good Then Why Did We Ever Need Christ?

After Enjoying the (Benefit) we try and change the recipe…

Living for God is Not Putting you in Control

But Rather the Opposite-

It Is “You” Losing Complete Control-

and now Trusting God…

God Has Prophets and Men Have Prophets-

Get What You Want or Receive What You Need…

You Choose!
