"Sparking A Change"

"The voice of the LORD divideth the flames of fire." (Psalms 29:7) Not everything needs to make sense; as a matter of fact, there are so many things that we just do not understand, some of which we will never actually get to understand until we are with the Lord in heaven, then we will see clearly how everything works! In the meantime, we just keep guessing and throwing out theories, some good, and some are so ridiculous that they somehow end up being accepted as facts. The Bible says, "The wisdom of this world is foolishness with God" (1 Corinthians 3:19), and God will allow man to get lost in his own foolishness, even to the point where a man will be hard set against God (Proverbs 19:3). And in 1 Corinthians 1:18, Paul declares, "For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God". Now, if you can begin to understand how this works, that man can accept something that is utterly ridiculous as the beginning of wisdom, yet cast away the truth as something which is total foolishness, then you can begin to understand how God moves upon the face of this earth. Until God puts knowledge into a man's heart and mind, that man is not going to know the truth; it's really all about who you know, as to where real wisdom comes from; because if you know the Lord, then you have the real beginning of knowledge! There is something very important that we can never forget: God picked you! So, as you ponder your head of knowledge, remember that it was not until He softened your heart to receive Him in, that you could have ever come to the knowledge of Him! Whether or not David is writing about lightning flashing through the sky, and splitting in all different directions, that's beside the point; because the point is, that God is the one that sparks a change in man, we do not get there on our own; nor do we even have the capability to do so! The word that is used for "fire" in the verse above, is a word that can also mean splendor or brightness; while the word for "flames" is also that of glittering steal, as in the head of a spear, or a naked sword. My point is, the further we get wrapped up in our own foolishness, the brighter that foolishness becomes; and it is only when God comes alone and divides the brightness of our foolishness, that we can actually see the darkness that was surrounding us, and can see His True Light..."Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." (John 3:3)
