"God's Majesty" -2

"The LORD reigneth, he is clothed in majesty; the LORD is clothed with strength, wherewith he hath girded himself: the world also is stablished, that it cannot be moved. Thy throne is established of old: thou art from everlasting. The floods have lifted up, O LORD, the floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up their waves. The LORD on high is mightier than the noise of many waters, yea, than the mighty waves of the sea. Thy testimonies are very sure: holiness becometh thine house, O LORD, for ever." (Psalms 93)
You could say that God's Majesty sums up all that He is, but that would end up being a drastic understatement. Better yet, His majesty is all that we need, because God's Majesty is all of His glory and splendor! Yes, it's true, it's all about God's Glory; everything is done for His glory, we just get to be part of it, and we get to be in it, for ever and ever! When we do get to heaven, there will be no way whatsoever that we can take claim to having arrived there without the blood of Jesus Christ having removed all of our sins. We see these silly pictures and videos of arriving to a golden gate in the clouds, but I seriously doubt the scene will be that dull and ordinary; in fact, I am think that there is nothing we could imagine being further from the truth of what will amaze us all. They say that hearing is our strongest sense; yet in Paul's description of heaven, he uses hearing as the object of his illustration; almost as if, seeing could never describe what he witnessed, because there are no words we could listen to that can give it the glory it is due. The bottom line, from my perspective, is that God has established everything according to His plans and His will; we can do whatever it is that we want, but no matter what we do, we can never alter God's eternal plans. Our plans really don't matter! What we do might affect us and cause us some terrible future, but God's plans are never affected by anything that we could ever do. I don't really know if we get that or not; or if we really still think that it's all about us. Yes, we matter to God, that's absolutely for sure; He proved that by sending His Son to die for our sins; He proved that in His word, over and over. So it's not a question of who matters to God, it's more about where we fit in the whole picture; because we are all the same in the eyes of God, there is nothing we can do to make God love us more or less. More importantly, at least within our time here on earth, there is nothing more God needs to do in order to make us be more spiritual, or to walk in holiness; if we are failing in that regard, it is totally our own faults. We can't even blame it on our parents, our surroundings, our spouse, or preacher; we can't even blame it on the devil. If we lack anything at all, it's because we have not seriously asked for it. Truly, it is the sins that we like that are the sins which keep us sinning, so maybe it's best to ask for the mind of Christ; that way we can maybe start not liking things that displease God, and only liking the things that please God; but we must be serious about it for it to work (James 1:2-8)...
""Wash yourselves and be clean! Get your sins out of my sight. Give up your evil ways. Learn to do good. Seek justice. Help the oppressed. Defend the cause of orphans. Fight for the rights of widows. "Come now, let's settle this," says the LORD. "Though your sins are like scarlet, I will make them as white as snow. Though they are red like crimson, I will make them as white as wool. If you only obey me, you will have plenty to eat. But if you turn away and refuse to listen, you will be devoured by the sword of your enemies. I, the LORD, have spoken!"" (Isaiah 1:16-20) NLT
