The Throne has not been abdicated!



I checked today and yes folks God is still on his Throne. The creator of the universe has not abdicated his seat. The reason I bring this up is what I have seen and am seeing in the Christian community. The belief that we have all the answers. Hey guys we really don't. OK let's get specific, yes we have the Bible and it is our guide book and if we read it we can avoid alot of heartache in our lives. If we share what it says with others, we can help them avoid the pitfalls in life as well.

That is not necessarily what I am referring to. What I am speaking to is our ability to come off as know-it-alls. We tend to think that because we have asked Father God to forgive us of our sins and to be Lord of our lives, and that if we read the Bible, that we have all the answers. The picture I keep getting in my head is of a human with a Bible under their arm and their nose stuck up in the air. I believe we can read the Bible all day long, every version and every language, but we still would not have all the answers. There is only one who does. The Creator of the Universe...Abba, Father God. I believe He has not or will not give us all of the answers....Why? Because we can not handle them. I personally am so glad I do not have to be responsible for the world and the answers to all of its problems.

I personally believe that when we as Christians; are presenting ourselves to the rest of the world, we should show humility, not haughtiness. To quote the Bible, "Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall" Prov. 16:18 NIV. Show love, mercy, kindness and have an humble spirit and it will have people asking all kinds of questions. Let us leave the problem solving to God, and let us allow the Holy Spirit to draw people to the Father. Father God is still alive today, still sitting on His Throne and is still speaking and drawing people to Him. There is nothing to big for God and nothing He cannot handle. Hey guys there is such freedom in letting go and letting God. Do your part and then let our Father handle it!
