"Listen Up!"

[A Psalm of David]"Give unto the LORD, O ye mighty, give unto the LORD glory and strength." (Psalms 29:1) This is very interesting, and a little hard to elaborate in just a few words, but the word "mighty" above in the verse is the word 'El', which means God, or god like; which is easy enough to understand, until you place "O ye" before it in the context of this verse; then we are talking about something extremely out of the ordinary. What that does is put another word before 'El', which is the word 'ben'; which just so happens to be the name of my 'Christian-childhood' hero, Ben Born Again, the comic tract character, and the character in the New Believer's Growth Book available through Harvest Ministries. 'Ben' is a word the means son, grandson, child, member of a group, order or class; lifeless things, such as sparks, stars, and arrows; together in a grouping, they represent the mystery of our Born Again existence, and how it is that we can take no glory in that existence, whatsoever! As a matter of fact, whatever is the opposite of glory, then consider that to be our position on the matter of our Born Again existence!!! The point being, that our existence as a son or a daughter of God is not based upon anything that we have done, it is just the opposite that pertains to our existence; as a matter of fact, it was our preexisting condition that nailed Jesus to the cross, so we have no bragging rights whatsoever! In a manner of speaking, you could say that God spoke you into your Born Again existence by His Word..."In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him; and without Him was not anything made that was made." (John 1:1-3)
