"Say What?"

"Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords are in their lips: for who, say they, doth hear?" (Psalms 59:7) Don't ask me why, but any verse that lands on seven, I usually have a feeling that God is going to be brought forth completely, or that there will at least be a complete something going on; this verse sets out to prove that we sometimes really do not know what we are talking about. I know that might some funny to some, but in all seriousness, if it's not based on truth, then it is something that falls short, and should not be repeated. How do we know what is the truth, if we really don't know much at all? Let me see...I like what Jesus answered to two men, as He walked with them, and said, "What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?"; and one answered, "Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which are come to pass there in these days?; to which Jesus asked, "What things?" (Luke 24:13-18). After which they proceeded to school Jesus on those things which had taken place over those last few days, and what a tragedy had befallen upon such a wonderful mighty prophet of God. The truth of the matter was not obviously apparent in their conversations, nor in their sadness, which should have been gladness, having just came from the empty tomb, where Jesus was no more! "What Things" indeed, is what we should all be asking; because if what we are accepting as the truth, is not truth, then it needs to be rejected, and should not be spread any further. So how do we know the truth? I have one Word to give you that is the answer, but you might not believe me, not unless you have God's Spirit within you. That's right! The Bible is 100% truth! For those of us that believe, it is the only truth! If it does not agree with the Bible, then it is not the truth! How many ways can I say it? If it did not come from God's Word, then it has no truth connected to it, and it should not be mixed with the truth of God! I am guilty of doing just that; which is to take something that is catchy, and somehow blend it with the truth; as much as I hate to admit it, I find some humor in it, without even thinking of the seriousness behind the truth. But our words do matter! As we are to be spokesmen for our Risen King, we should mind our words, because He is listening; more importantly, we should be listening to Him...
"Be careful that you do not refuse to listen to the One who is speaking. For if the people of Israel did not escape when they refused to listen to Moses, the earthly messenger, we will certainly not escape if we reject the One who speaks from heaven! When God spoke from Mount Sinai His voice shook the earth, but now He makes another promise: Once again I will shake not only the earth but the heavens also. This means that all of creation will be shaken and removed, so that only unshakable things will remain. Since we are receiving a Kingdom that is unshakable, let us be thankful and please God by worshiping Him with holy fear and awe. For God is a devouring fire." (Hebrews 12:25-29)
