Happy Monday--Looking for Knowledge

Happy Monday! Are you ready to start the week? Did you have a really good day yesterday worshipping the Lord? We attended three servicesv and heard some really good messages. (I jokingly told Patti Beth we could get some work done for Jesus if we didn't have to go to so many church services.) Then, after church last night, we came home and got into a fairly in-depth theological discussion and ended up reading the book of Revelations to answer some of our questions. We were truly seeking knowledge. 


Did you ever wonder what it would be like to be completely knowledgeable? Just have it all at your fingertips? And not just the facts, but the discernment and the wisdom to accompany all the knowledge? Just. Like. God.  

He is El Deah. The God of knowledge. When we think about His omniscience, the fact He knows everything, we realize that He is the Keeper of infinite library so to speak. The giant memory bank with every scrap and bit of information that ever existed...God has it all retained and recalls it instantly. El Deah is the God of all knowledge. 

“Have you ever come on anything quite like this extravagant generosity of God, this deep, deep wisdom? It’s way over our heads. We’ll never figure it out. Is there anyone around who can explain God? Anyone smart enough to tell him what to do? Anyone who has done him such a huge favor that God has to ask his advice? Everything comes from him; Everything happens through him; Everything ends up in him. Always glory! Always praise! Yes. Yes. Yes.”

‭‭Romans‬ ‭11:33-36‬ ‭MSG‬‬

I love that one part that says " anyone smart enough to tell Him what to do?" Bob used to say "Did it ever occur to you that nothing ever occurred to God?" Noting ever took Him by surprise--not a bee landing on a flower or a world war--and nothing ever will. He knew when time began that you would be saved. I have no clue how He does it. I don't know how He built the stars either, but I know He did. 

El Deah inhabits all of eternity. God sees the beginning and He sees the middle and guess what...He sees the end. And here's the kicker, He is seeing it all at one time. He doesn't have to fast forward the DVD to get to the next part; He can see every part instantaneously. Wrap your brain around that one--all of time that has ever been and all of time that will ever be all at once. God is the God of knowledge. He is El Deah. 

Today, make it a point to seek knowledge about our Lord and will you give praise with me to the God of knowledge? Praise El Deah.

Love you dear one,

Pam

Happy Friday. It’s the end of another week and we have had more opportunities to share the love of Christ with those around us and sometimes that takes quite a bit of effort. I don’t know about you, but I’m not always anxious to embrace others and really listen to them or share with them (especially those who I don’t know well). Sometimes, I just look at them and think “Are you for real?” I don’t always agree with people over politics, sports or of course, religion. And let’s face it, we’d rather spend time with people we like and mostly agree.  And then I read my Bible. God hasn’t called us to sit in our little groups with only those we naturally gravitate towards, but to love people—all people, even those who aren’t necessarily loveable. In this passage, Paul writing to the people of Colosse remarks on how wonderful it is that they truly love others. That love must have really been something over and above the normal and he tells them that it is evident that it comes from the Holy Sp

Happy Wednesday to you. I hope your week is going well. Yesterday, I went to Sams. I was out of things like trash bags, toilet paper, and chicken, so off I went. I like going to Sams because there is always lots to look at and the isles are nice and wide. Everytime I’m there, I am amazed at how much stuff and everything from diapers to TVs to mangos to beds. It just seems incredible that so many things in such quantities are all under one roof.  King David never saw a store with as much stuff aa Sams of course, but he did see countless miracles and understand that God has plans. He knew from creation and history that he was serving a God of miracles and he know that God loved him and his people and would take care of them. He was amazed and awe-struck by the fact that a God who had done such great and mighty things not only cared about his people but that He loved them with such a great love.  “Many, Lord my God, are the wonders you have done, the things you planned for us. None can co

It’s Thursday and I woke up to the blowing wind! Lots of it—I’m dreading Boomer waking up and having to go outside with him. That harsh, bitter wind seems cruel and almost evil. But I’ll wrap myself up with a fe layers and boots and brave it all.  Sometimes I think we try to do that with things we know aren’t right—things that are evil. We try to wrap ourselves up and just wade into it, but Paul tells us we should reject it—stay away from it. “Do not treat prophecies with contempt but test them all; hold on to what is good, reject every kind of evil. May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it.” ‭‭1 Thessalonians‬ ‭5:20-24‬ NIV When he wrote this he’d been in Berea and the Christians there diligently searched the scriptures to make sure everything Paul said was in line. Paul here is encouraging the Thessalonians to
