O Sing Unto

“O sing unto the Lord a new song: sing unto the Lord, all the earth. Sing unto the Lord, bless his name; shew forth his salvation from day to day. Declare his glory among the heathen, his wonders among all people. For the Lord is great, and greatly to be praised: he is to be feared above all gods. For all the gods of the nations are idols: but the Lord made the heavens.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭96:1-5‬ ‭KJV‬‬

You know your god is an idol if he does not require repentance! If you do not fear your god, he is an idol! If he doesn't require you to die to your flesh, lay down your pride and be obedient to his commandments, then he is a false god, and you are doomed to spend eternity in hell!

The One true God, the Maker of heaven and earth, The Creator of the universe, is to be feared, for He spoke into existence everything, and He is still speaking today!

“O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the Lord our maker. For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To day if ye will hear his voice,” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭95:6-7 KJV‬‬

He is still speaking! He is still working miracles! And He still demands obedience; after all He IS God, and we are not!

“Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness: When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work. Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said, It is a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways: Unto whom I sware in my wrath that they should not enter into my rest.” Psalms‬ ‭95:8-11‬ ‭KJV‬‬

After bringing His people out of Egypt and meeting their every need for forty years, because they rebelled and refused to obey Him; He let all but two perish of that generation! Only two, out of more than a million, entered the promise land! 

He is the same today! God never changes and today He is still grieved by a stiff necked and rebellious people who refuse to bend their will! 

If you are His servant, you DO NOT "get to have it your way!" It's His way or nothing! He and only He is God, we are not! We have no control! And giving up the illusion we are in control is the game changer! 

Laying down your will; swallowing your pride; giving Him free reign is absolutely mandatory to be His follower! His is not a democracy! The only "say" we get is - "I surrender!"

If your prayers are not being answered, check your god! If he looks like you, then he is an idol; a false god; for you are supposed to be made in His image, not the other way around! 

Pray: "God open my eyes to see The Truth! Open my ears to hear Your voice! Change my heart LORD; bring me to repentance; refine me; mold me and make me into Your image! I lay down my life for You! Have free reign in me! I'm Yours!"

Repent! 

Surrender! 

Make Him LORD!

This life is all about where you will spend eternity!

Time is short! Time to obey!

Even so - MARANATHA!
