SIMPLE INSIGHTS
As we journey with our Best Friend (Jesus Christ) there are so many learnings along the way, sometimes through readings of His Written Word, sometimes through the works of other travellers and fellow strugglers. Lessons through the ups and downs in our journey are worth remembering that is the Purpose of this page. Our journey is not always walking in "cloud nine" most of the time it is in the rough, rocky and narrow way may we learn from each other Simple Insights in each step along the way.
Who Is Reigning?
In the beginning God. In eternity God is God and there is no other. Before He created human He created first all "things" for human being to know that He is God the creator. Then God created humans in His own image and likeness and placed them in the garden among all things that He created. But the problems begin when human allows the "things" to reign in the place of God.
Let us search our hearts. Let us ask ourselves is God reigning in the throne of our hearts? Take the life of Abraham as the concrete example for this. God called Abraham, gave him a promise, made a covenant with him and fulfilled the promise for Abraham to have a son of his own. Who do you think is reigning in the heart of Abraham? As a father I believe Isaac was Abraham's delight and God saw that Abraham started to put Isaac at the center,unknowingly when he thinks of covenant, promise and fulfillment of becoming the father of many nations his eyes now is own Isaac. So one day God demanded that Isaac be offered as burnt offering to the Lord. To make the long story short, Abraham in pain struggling but resolved to obey God who has the power to raise people from death. With his obedience blessing was flowing in him and through him. Abraham was wealthy in our own standard but in his heart he knew he is poor for he did not owned a "thing" even a family all he has belongs to God. For God alone reigns in his heart. Who is reigning in our heart today? Are we rich or poor?
"Blessed is the poor in spirit for their is the kingdom of heaven"
