When You Measure Yourself By Yourself
And Compare Yourself To Yourself
What Are You!?!
A Fool!
When A Man Defies, Denies, The Living God
And Calls Himself God
And Acts As Though He Is God
But Does Not Have The Power Of God
And Cannot Keep Himself Alive
What Is He!?!
An Idolatrous, Lying, Fool!
The Fool Hath Said In His Heart That There Is No God!
The Fool, Therefore, Is Unwise, Untutored
Unschooled In The Wise Ways Of The Holy God
And
Suggesting That The Fool Has His Own Sense
Is
Oxymoronic In The Extreme!
Denying Your Own Maker Is Devilish!
Making Yourself God Is Satanic!
Encouraging Others To Indulge In
Heaven-Daring Lawlessness For Kicks, For Thrills
Is
Willful Wickedness Writ Large
And
Left Unconfessed And Unrepented
Will Be Punished Without The Blessed Benefit Of
Mercy Of The Eternal God!
Be Ye Wise ...
The Only Measuring Stick Worth Using In This Life
Is
The Character Of The Lord Jesus Christ!
Without Our Lord's Intervention
We Will Walk Around Pridefully
Showing How Holy We Are When We Are Not:
Let Us Not Boast About Our Basement-Level Behavior!
The Prophet Isaiah Believed He Was Holy
Until He Saw The Lord In His Glory!
He Became Aware Of His Uncleanness
And
His Unworthiness To Be The Servant Of God
When He Saw Himself In The Light Of Almighty God's Glory!
Beloved,
Our God ... The Living God ... Is Compassionate
And
In The Moment Of Our Truly Seeing Him ... By Faith
And
Acknowledging That We Are Less Than He Requires
And
Need All That Our Lord Christ Has To Give Us
Is
The Time That The Lord Can Work In And On Us To Bless Us
And
Through Us To Bless Others!
Self-Praise Is No Praise!
The Praise Of Man Is A Trap
And
Unless We Let Go Of Pride
And
Give Our Self Over To The Lord For Him To Do His Saving Work
We Will Pridefully, Arrogantly, Ignorantly
Contentedly Continue Travelling Through Shadows-With-Troubles
Where The Citizens Measure Themselves By Themselves
Until We Arrive At Inescapable Torment!
Please, I Beseech Us All
Let Us Permit The Holy Spirit To Do A Good Work In Us
By Allowing Him To Work On Us While It Is Yet Day, Today
The Day Of Salvation!
Let Us Let The Lord Remove Our Iniquity From Us
And
Purge Us Of Our Sin
So That He May Use Us In His Service
To Bless Others With The Good News That He, Alone, Saves!
Let Us Really Work For The Lord:
Untold Blessings Are Guaranteed!
Peace!
