God is a (Love Hate Relationship)

Psalms 97:10

[10] Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.

In this world with an obsession with (compromise) and Let’s All Just Get Along attitude….

We need to understand that some things just don’t mix…

You may put oil and water into the same jar but they will just not mix!

You may believe that good and evil can mix, but they cannot!

They may be in one person, but they will never mix!

You will either (Love) God and (Hate) Sin

Or Love Sin and not really Love God…

Stop trying to Mix what won’t Mix…

Sin can Never be Tolerated or Allowed

Because sin does not Mix with Loving God!

You have to choose because you can’t have both!

If your walk with God Feels Like a Raging Storm

It could be that two opposing fronts are trying to

Co-Exist…

You see, it is a (Love-Hate) Relationship…

Love God and Hate Sin…

The Great Question-(WHY)

Psalms 73:17)

[17] Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end.

When Life Doesn’t Seem Fair

When the Wicked Seem Prosperous

When the Enemy Seems to Win

When You Do Right and Still Lose

When Liars are Revered

When the Criminals Get Away With It

We Ask the Age Old Question (WHY)?

When your eyes are fixed on this life and this world

You become (Snow Blinded) and lose your vision!

The only cure for this Blindness is going to the House of God-

Into His Sanctuary, that is Reserved for Answers to all the Unanswerable Questions of Life…

Vacations and Isolation can never Reveal

What only is Found in the House of God!

In His Presence…

It is there that assurance and safety is provided for the (WHY) people…

And the Answer for those others,

Well, just wait and see!

Be Careful for What You ask

Psalms 106:15

[15] And he gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul.

Many have mocked the old saint that is always reminding them to ask if it is God’s Will…

The Request-

May seem right

May seem needed

May be desired

May be legal

May not be sinful

And Yet Because it Is Not God’s Will

May Bring With It (Judgement)!

Many Died the day they requested meat…

When God Had Already Provided Manna!

Be Carful for What You Ask…

Delayed Promises Are Not Denied Promises

Psalms 105:19

19 Until the time that his word came: the word of the LORD tried him.

(Until) can seem like an Eternity…

The Dreams of Jospeh Here Seemed a Long Time in Coming!

Promises are Just That- (Promises)

Promises are Yet to Come That’s What Makes Them (Promises)

In the Future Tense…

Don’t let the devil Lie to You-

Delay Doesn’t Mean Denied!

Wait on God and be Patient Because He’s Never Once Failed or Let Down One Person, Ever!

The (Word) or Promise Will Try You, like it Did Joseph-

It Will “Test” You as it Were to (Prepare) You for the Promise Yet to Come!

Remember, (Delayed) Does Nor Mean (Denied)

Far Enough Away

2 Corinthians 6:17

Wherefore come out from among them, and (be ye separate), saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,

Separate means to (Distance) Yourself Away from a Point of Origin…

In this case it is (The World)

Leaving Egypt Means Relocating…

He Doesn’t Remove Us, We Must Remove Ourselves…

Far Enough Away…

And Then (Touch Not)

When You’re far Enough Away You Cannot Touch It…

Remember, Eve’s fall was because she transgressed the 1st step- (Touch Not)

Good Advice:

Get Far Enough Away and You Will Not Be Able to Even Touch It…

An Abomination

Deuteronomy 22:5

The woman (shall not) wear that which pertaineth unto a man, (neither) shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so (are abomination) unto the LORD thy God.

God’s Laws were never meant to blur

He is a God of Distinction

He Created the Man and the Woman

So I Assume That He Can Determine the Boundaries and Rules…

So It is Preposterous and Insulting That We Feel That We Can Negotiate Those Lines of Distinction!

*Any Man That Deviates from…

*Any Woman That Deviates from…

Even in Actions, for Actions are the Mirror of the Heart and Thus (Outward Adornment) Clothing Will Reflect This…

This Command is Not as Much About (modesty) as it is About Boundary Lines…

When You Violate Them, it is an (Abomination) to the Creator…

Beware that the spirit of this world doesn’t deceive you as it beguiled Eve in the garden…

The Cure for the Blues

Hebrews 12:3 (KJV)

For (consider him) that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.

⁃ Disappointment

⁃ Betrayal

⁃ Rejection

⁃ Abuse

Can Leave You Completely Stunned!

Too Much Too Long Leaves You Staggering!

And Yet, When You’re at the End of Your Rope and Feel All Hope of Relief is Gone-

Remember (Him)…His sufferings

So That You Won’t Become Weary and Faint in Your Minds….

Our Present Storm is of No Comparison-

To What He Endured, That We Might be Free…

The Cure for the Blues is Considering Christ!

It Ought to Put a Smile on Your Face!
