no comparisions

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…”

Jonathan Christopher, of Stuff Christians Like, had this to say on his Facebook this morning.

Amen

“The God of life with guarding hold you;

the Holy Spirit, guarding, mould you;

each night of life to aid, enfold you;

each day and night of life uphold you.

Yes…

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

Literal translation? “And Gods said…”
