The psalmist waxed eloquent, attempting to paint a word-picture of God's majesty. "He is clothed with light as a garment. He stretches out the heavens like a curtain. He lays the beams of His chambers in the waters. He makes the clouds His chariots. He walks on the wings of the wind. He makes His angels spirits; His ministers a flaming fire." God's majesty (grandeur, sovereignty, power and authority) far exceeds all allegories.
Psalms 104:24 - "O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches."
PRINCIPALS - "God Created His Throne"
One of the many things God created is His own throne. The psalmist said, "The LORD hath prepared His throne in the heavens." "Prepared" in Hebrew means "set up, erected." God was a lone spirit in a void universe. Eventually, He created the foursquare city of heaven, and built a throne for Himself. Even in His throne, He was invisible, because He is a spirit, and dwells in the light, whom no man hath seen, nor can see. He was an infinite spirit before He had a throne.
Psalm 103:19 - "The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens."
PRINCIPLES - "Never Make Excuses For The Miracles Of The Bible"
Skeptics argue against the miraculous parting of the Red Sea, saying the Israelites crossed the "Sea of Reeds" in a dried shallow area at low tide. How then did Pharaoh's army drown in a shallow marsh when the tide came back? If Israel even reached the Red Sea, that fact argues that other miracles had already occurred - the burning bush, the rod and snake, the leprosy, dreadful plagues on Egypt, and more. The Bible is unequivocally true. Only skeptics will be disproven - not God.
Psalms 106:11 - "And the waters covered their enemies: there was not one of them left."
PROPHECIES - "God Remembers His Covenants Forever"
The fulfilled prophecies and covenants of God - His mighty works in behalf of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, the plagues of Egypt and the miracles in the wilderness, and more - are endless reminders that our God never fails.
Psalms 105:8 - "He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations. Which covenant he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac; And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant: Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance."
• Information informs but revelation transforms!
• We know what we are supposed to do with information, but with revelation we know what to do and just do it!
• Adoration follows appreciation.
• It’s been said that Worship follows wonder.
• Information says that we develop a "have to" element. Revelation transforms our actions into "want to" expressions of love.
• Settling for just information could be a trap in the world of religion, rather pursue revelation also.
• God will always direct His servants away from their own limitations and onto Himself the ‘limitless God.’ JESUS
• Consider a difficult situation in your life right now. What would it look like to consider that overcoming that situation has everything to do with God’s strength and nothing to do with your own? amkjbs7.blogspot.com/2018/03/prayer…
