“They are both stupid and foolish;”<\/p>\n

“Behold, they are all a delusion;\u00a0their works are nothing”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Hosea 12:9
\nHe destroys you, O Israel,
\nfor you are against me, against your helper.<\/strong>
\nWhere now is your king, to save you in all your cities?<\/strong>
\n Where are all your rulers<\/strong>\u2014
\nthose of whom you said,
\n\u201cGive me a king and princes\u201d?
\nI gave you a king in my anger,
\nand I took him away in my wrath.<\/p>\n

Deuteronomy 33:26
\nThere is none like God,<\/strong> O Jeshurun,
\nwho rides through the heavens to your help,
\nthrough the skies in his majesty.
\nThe eternal God is your dwelling place,
\nand underneath are the everlasting arms.
\nAnd he thrust out the enemy before you<\/p>\n

Exodus 15:11
\n\u201cWho is like you, O Lord, among the gods?<\/strong>
\n Who is like you, majestic in holiness,<\/strong>
\n awesome in glorious deeds, doing wonders?<\/strong><\/p>\n

1 Kings 8:23
\n\u201cO Lord, God of Israel, there is no God like you, in heaven above or on earth beneath, keeping covenant and showing steadfast love to your servants who walk before you with all their heart;<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jeremiah 10:7
\nThere is none like you, O Lord;<\/strong>
\n you are great, and your name is great in might.<\/strong>
\nWho would not fear you, O King of the nations?
\nFor this is your due;
\nfor among all the wise ones of the nations
\nand in all their kingdoms
\nthere is none like you.
\nThey are both stupid and foolish;<\/strong><\/p>\n

Isaiah 41:28
\nBut when I look, there is no one;
\namong these there is no counselor
\nwho, when I ask, gives an answer.
\nBehold, they are all a delusion;<\/strong>
\n their works are nothing;<\/strong><\/p>\n

What replaces God in our lives to the point where we no longer see Him as ALIVE and AWESOME and OUR HOPE and OUR SHELTER and OUR REFUGE and OUR ROCK and OUR KING. \u00a0I imagine something gets lost in our culture where we can easily criticize our President without fear. \u00a0We can choose to not stand if he should come into a room. We can choose turn our back on him without any fear of retribution. \u00a0Speaking with a friend from Asia yesterday, he was telling me about the King in Thailand who passed away. \u00a0If you did not stand upon his entry into a room you would be thrown in jail. \u00a0For the next week it is mandatory to wear black and if you don’t you would be thrown in jail. In many countries the office of the King is regarded much higher than the President in our culture. \u00a0Is it possible this view of our President dilutes our perception on how we look at God, or how we think we should serve Him? \u00a0It would do us well to think deeply about God and our commitment to Him in line with His word and expectations for each of our lives. \u00a0How does the excuse “I’m sorry God, I was just to busy for years on end to give you more than a passing thought” sound? \u00a0Our heavenly King has asked us to desire to humbly serve Him with all our heart, mind and soul. \u00a0How does this happen unless we choose to know and understand Him? \u00a0How does this happen if we spend little or no time in His word? \u00a0How do we praise and worship Him without continually expanding our knowledge of Him?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
