When we realize we are judging someone else, we can realize we are not in a place where God settles down. We take our cue from the Trinity.

A scene you will not see…

“Hey Jesus, look at my abs. I am really getting a six pack, don’t you think?”

“You, da’ man, God the Father! (though you are a non-physical reality) Really getting pumped!” “Whoa! What was that? Holy Spirit, was that you again?!”

“Got you, Jesus! You are never gonna be quick as me! You don’t know when I’m coming or when I’m going…”

each day and night of life uphold you.

Yes…

It doesn’t escape notice that in Genesis 1:26 when God makes people it says, “Let us make…” This is, of course, a clear allusion to the concept of the Trinity, but even before that we have a clue that slips notice unless we translate it literally.

You see the ancient word used for “God” here in Genesis 1 is, “Elohyim.” This is in the plural.

Literal translation? “And Gods said…”
