"INVISIBLE!"

Romans 1:18:23                                                 (ESV)

"18 For the wrath of GOD is REVEALED from Heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness SUPPRESS the TRUTH.

19 For what can be known about GOD is plain to them, because GOD has shown it to them.

20 For HIS "INVISIBLE" attributes, namely, HIS eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.

21 For although they knew GOD, they did not honor HIM as GOD or GIVE THANKS to HIM, but they became FUTILE in their thinking, and their FOOLISH HEARTS were darkened.

22 CLAIMING TO BE WISE, THEY BECAME FOOLS,

23 and EXCHANGED the glory of the immortal GOD for IMAGES RESEMBLING mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things."

Most days there is a scripture REVEALED to me and I begin the devotional GOD places in my heart to share, and the WORDS GOD places on my heart, AND THEN I find a few words in the scripture to highlight and I capitalize them and publish my thoughts.  Today I opened my BIBLE and the paragraph above was highlighted, and verse 20 had "notes" written on it so I decided to SEE what the "notes" were.  I opened the "notes" app and it simply said "INVISIBLE"!  No explanation or commentary, just "INVISIBLE"!

Since "inquiring minds want to know", I decided to look up the word "INVISIBLE" in the dictionary.  One definition was using an adjective and said "not perceptible or discernible by the mind:".  Another was using the word as a noun and said "the unseen or spiritual world."  Upon digesting all that was offered by the dictionary, it was made clear to me that ALMIGHTY GOD was using BOTH, the adjective and the noun, to REVEAL to me that there are many SPIRITUAL things that HE REVEALS to some, while others HE doesn't REVEAL TRUTHS to, leaving them to become as FOOLS!  AND JUST BECAUSE HE REVEALS THINGS TO SOME, DOESN'T MEAN WE ARE BETTER THAN OTHERS, ONLY BLESSED TO BE USED OF HIM!!!

Some people are decent enough people, but they haven't had the TRUTHS REVEALED to them by GOD and cannot SEE everything that has been REVEALED to others.   It becomes incumbent upon we who can SEE that we verbalize what has been REVEALED to our hearts, and we GIVE THANKS to GOD for HIS REVELATIONS so we won't become "FUTILE in their thinking, and their FOOLISH HEARTS were darkened".  Scripture says "claiming to be wise, they became fools", meaning they thought they were something they were not!  

Scripture says in Isaiah 64:6 that our righteousness is but filthy rags before a HOLY GOD!  None of us have extreme holiness to lay before HIS Throne.  All any of us can do is claim the blood of JESUS and rest in HIS accomplishments.  John 4:24 says "GOD IS SPIRIT"!  A SPIRIT cannot be seen, therefore it must be "INVISIBLE"!  We must trust in HIM to live inside of our bodies and NOT suppress the TRUTH!  We need to Glorify and honor HIM with our actions and REVEAL HIS "INVISIBLE" TRUTH to a lost and dying world!
