Isaiah 40:28 (ESV)
“Have you not known? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting GOD, the CREATOR of the ends of the earth. “HE DOES NOT” faint or grow weary; HIS understanding is unsearchable.”
Recently I wrote about being “TRANSFORMED by the renewal of your mind, that BY TESTING you may discern what is the will of GOD, what is good and acceptable and perfect”. The very next day I see this on a social media site, and it made my weakened stomach feel queasy!
“I often hear, “We need to update the Bible for the modern person.”
No.
We need to take the modern person back to the context of the Bible. Whatever the Bible meant in its original context, it means now. Whatever the Bible said to its original audience, it says to us now.”
ALMIGHTY GOD does not become faint or grow weary with me when I am weak. The patience and long suffering are far beyond what we can imagine. But we must be careful NOT to place our wishes before HIS Plan, and our position before HIS Throne!
There has NEVER been a creature that was CREATED who is in the same stratosphere as our CREATOR! HIS WORD (The Holy BIBLE) is a gift that HE has given us to reveal HIS TRUTH to us. Just because some people don’t like what it says doesn’t mean that they are wise enough to do so. Romans 1:21b-23 says “...but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things.”
We are to be TRANSFORMED to be more like HIM, not try to have HIM change to our progressively worse behavior! “HE DOES NOT” accommodate sin. “HE DOES NOT” play games!
