"Making It Real"

"God shall bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall fear Him." (Psalms 67:7) Can you handle the Truth? Yes you can! It might not make sense at first, but knowing the Truth is more real than you might think; literally, your mind cannot comprehend the faith that is within you; that faith which comes from knowing the True and Living God! As a matter of fact, our mind will distract us from the truth if we let it, as we try to figure out what it is gives us the confidence in a God that we cannot see. Our confidence come from knowing, not necessarily with our mind, but with our heart; our heart being the center of our eternal soul. As with almost every Psalm, the last verse typically sums up the massage being sung; in this case, this verse more than sums it up, this pretty much stamps it with a seal, as in, a seal of approval. It is almost the equivalence of saying, "God said it, I believe it, and that settles it!" To be perfectly honest, I don't think that I can even try to not believe, even if I wanted to. It is what I am, which is a child of the King; and no one, not even myself can take that away, because it was made possible by God! He, and He alone can undo what He has done; but He won't, because He says that He won't; so there! You want to kick the devil in the face, then that's how you do it: you hold onto the Truth and you don't let go! So, can you handle the Truth? If it is real enough, then yes you can! Now the next question you might have, is how do we make it real enough? That answer is really really easy! Follow the Spirit of the Truth... "So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus. And because you belong to Him, the power of the life-giving Spirit has freed you from the power of sin that leads to death. The law of Moses was unable to save us because of the weakness of our sinful nature. So God did what the law could not do. He sent his own Son in a body like the bodies we sinners have. And in that body God declared an end to sin's control over us by giving his Son as a sacrifice for our sins. He did this so that the just requirement of the law would by fully satisfied for us, who no longer follow our sinful nature, but instead follow the Spirit." (Romans 8:1-4) NLT
