As God Sees!
Hello everyone,
How are you doing on this day? I hope well and bubbling in the Lord. We thank God for another day that He has made, which we can rejoice and be glad in. How do you see yourself today? How does the Lord see you? The Lord wrote to the angel of the Church in Laodicea, after telling them that they were lukewarm, that:
Primary Text: Revelations 3:17-18
“Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: I counsel thee to buy of Me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.” Revelations 3v17-18 (KJV)
The way God sees is different from the way man sees. Man looks on the appearance, but God looks at the heart (1 Samuel 16v7). The Church in Laodicea thought they were rich, increased with goods, and had need of nothing. But the Lord saw them in a different light. Spiritually, they were far from rich. Furthermore, they were not seeing properly. They did not see their true state. They thought they were fine, but they were not. May the Lord help us to see ourselves as we really are and appreciate our need for Him in Jesus name, amen.

“But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and raiment let us be therewith content. But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.” 1 Timothy 6v6-10
“HO, every one that thirstieth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? Hearken diligently unto Me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness. Incline your ear, and come unto Me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.” Isaiah 55v1&2
“The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes. The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. Moreover by them is Thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.” Psalm 19v7-11
“The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of His calling, and what the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,” Ephesians 1v18
Prayer
Father, I thank You so much for Your Word. Father, search me and know my heart, try me, and know my thoughts; and see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting, in Jesus name, amen.
