"CONSIDER IT!!"

Deuteronomy 4:39-40                          (KJV)
"39 Know therefore this day, and "CONSIDER IT" in thine heart, that the LORD he is GOD in HEAVEN ABOVE, and upon the earth beneath: there is none else.
40 Thou shalt keep therefore his statutes, and his commandments, which I command thee this day, that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days upon the earth, which the LORD thy God giveth thee, for ever.



When thinking about one's prayer life and why some people never seem to take the time to call upon The LORD, it occurred to me that most of us may not be HUMBLE enough, or realize just how MAGNIFICENT GOD really is.  Maybe we simply do not TAKE THE TIME to recognize the vast difference between GODLY, HEAVENLY things and the temporal earthly things?  We really don't recognize how VAST and WILLING GOD is to help us and what HIS plan may be for our lives.

My wife, two children and I were honored to be selected about 15 years ago to meet with the man who would soon be elected as President of the United States of America.  We got to have our photo taken with him on his campaign airplane and have about a 15 minute conversation with him.  Obviously his schedule was very busy and we could not spend as much time with him as we would have liked to, but those 15 minutes was something I will never forget.

When you "CONSIDER IT", the President of the United States is extremely limited compared to my GOD in HEAVEN ABOVE!  GOD literally spoke (beginning in Genesis 1:3) the worlds and all that is in (Acts 17:24) them into existence.  If we were to slow our lives down enough to "CONSIDER IT" maybe we would recognize that ALMIGHTY GOD is the ONE who is in control of all.  Instead, the world continues moving at a faster and faster pace,  into a chaotic, seemingly OUT-OF-CONTROL tempo where we fail to acknowledge GOD for WHO HE really is!

The enemy can deceive and hide the TRUTH as much as he can but when all comes to and end GOD will be exalted!  In the final chapter of the Old Testament, scripture records that there WILL come a day when "all the proud" will be burned up and turned to stubble!  There will be plenty of time to "CONSIDER IT" on that day!  It would serve us well to make certain we "CONSIDER IT" now so we are not burned up with them!
