INSPIRED THOUGHTS By Moses Hightower * God has halted the swing of the pendulum that has swung before your face. Do not place your hand to it to stabilize it. You will only increase its swing, for doubt shall unsettle the balance. He has given you the faith to rely on his faithfulness. Faith is not leading you to trust in doubtful meanings and uncertain expressions. The Lord has not sent you riddles and puzzles. He has extended the hand of God to guide you. Follow him as he shows you what is on the other side of the unknown. A glass darkly is not your mirror of direction. The way through this ambush is past your comprehension. It is beyond the depth of your knowledge and understanding. The seal of secrecy is known of the Lord; therefore, trust him. The unknown has no secrecy and no privacy in his presence. Hide yourself in his presence. The fullness of joy is your bed. Now rest in God. * Joseph explained in Genesis, that the God who does wonders is the one to whom interpretation belongs. Paul told us in the book of Romans that the oracles or the word of God was given to the Jews. They had the covenants and the promises. All these things produced a sense of ownership that fed the pride of the Pharisees and Sadducees. None of us have a copyright on the operation of the Holy Ghost. It all comes down from him. Pride can slip into religious robes and become an assassin lurking in wait for us. As we receive things from God, we must always remind ourselves that we have no ability of our own to produce this. This is why he chooses the foolish things of the world to confound the wise. God deserves all the glory, and we must never let our flesh glory in his presence. God would not embarrass us, and if we allow his grace to help us, nothing and no one else will be able to intimidate or embarrass us. Parables and questions may seem to abound, but they are always introspective for us. They allow us to see our inadequacy and the unlimited resource of his greatness. God holds the key to the doors of every secret in the universe. When we walk with him, we will never walk blindly into a snare of the distorted wisdom of the enemy. (Don Grigsby).
