Unto our everlasting Father of glory; the only one Who gives but never takes away. Unto Him, the only One Who gives life but never kills. Unto Him our Father and the Governor of our lives, be all the dominion, glory, power and kingdom. Amen.
Psalms 36:9 (KJV) For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light.
One of the greatest disadvantages man has is his inability to see beyond the present, even to know himself
In fact someone may think that he knows himself so well. He must have introspected himself, and later concluded how good or bad he is....but in the real sense, even introspection won't even do a man any favour to discover or know how good or bad he is. A man must see himself in the light of God.
Jeremiah 17:9 (KJV) The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
The question who can know it, it also includes the owner of the heart. A man doesn't even know himself, for his heart can deceive him in his attempt to introspect. His heart can tell him that he's a good man; whereas, he's actually a bad man. His heart can tell him that he's a bad man whereas he's actually a good man. The heart of a man is desperately wicked and deceitful above all , who can know it.
Therefore, we must always see ourselves in His Light.
We won't be able to see ourselves in our own little little light, but in His Light we shall see light.
Psalms 139:23-24 (KJV) Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:
And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
Here is the humble prayer of a sincere man. He knew of his inability to know himself since the heart of man is so deceitful, and he didn't trust his heart. Then, he prayed to know himself and see himself in the light of God.
In His Light we shall see light.
What's my point so far? Here is it: how that a mundane man is so incapable to know himself by introspection or by mental juggernaut. He must continually to see himself in the light of God.
Also, man, due to his inability to see the future by himself; he must not trust his decision making process. Why??....because he doesn't even know what will happen in the next thirty minutes. A man must take every decision to His maker to see it in the Light of his maker.
How proud has a man become to make decisions on his own through his fallible personality, his inadequacy and his very limited mental juggernaut. Every decision must be taken to Him that declares the end from the beginning, to see light in His light
Jeremiah 10:23 (KJV) O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.
It is not given to a man that walks to direct his steps. Man must bring before Him, all of his plans and movements to see them all in His Light. The is what really makes us conquerors, because by the arm of flesh no man prevails.
When we strive to make things work by ourselves, or try to know ourselves by ourselves, we've become so proud....for it is not given to you to do so. Man must see himself, know himself and make every and any decision in the Light of God.
