AWESOME GOD - TRANSCENDENT

                                              
   
                                                                             
  THE TRANSCENDENCY
 OF GOD

 God is entirely distinct  from the universe. The        universe is just                    another one of God's  many creations. 

 Although, like all the others, it is a 
 masterpiece, it never was, nor is, nor ever will  be God.

God created it, how then can it be God?

"Thus saith the Lord, 'the heaven is My throne and the earth is My footstool; where is the house that you have built unto Me? Where is the place of My rest?   For all of these things My hands have made.'  "
Isaiah  66:1-2

"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth."

"God Who made the world and all things therein, seeing that He is Lord of heaven and earth and dwelleth not in temples made with hands."
Acts 17: 24

Transcend means to exist above and independent from ;  to rise above;  surpass; succeed.

English dictionary ;  Rising above, going further, triumphing over, being more, or extending beyond conventional limits.

From this definition, God is the Only Truly Transcendent Being.  He made all things in the heavens and the earth and beneath the earth, yet He exists above and independent from them. All things are upheld by His mighty power. Yet He is upheld by Himself alone. The whole universe exists for Him and in Him.

When we use these terms in connection with God, we are acknowledging that He is completely beyond what we can imagine, understand or comprehend.

 GOD'S THOUGHTS        TRANSCEND OUR          THOUGHTS AND OUR  WAYS

 " My thoughts are not    your thoughts nor are My ways your ways. For just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are  My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than yours."
Isaiah  55: 8-9

God interacts with His people by making binding covenants with them. He demonstrates His love, faithfulness, justice and integrity, by constantly  upholding His covenants. We all know the pain of broken promises - We don't have to worry about that with God - His promises are set in stone.


GOD'S WISDOM TRANSCENDS OUR WISDOM
The mind of the smartest genius who ever lived on this planet pales in comparison with the mind of God - man launches rockets! Invents technology, airplanes and such - but we cannot manufacture a single seed, or create life, or something as vast as a mountain range or an ocean. Nor would we have the discretion to restrain such power when necessary. God has done all of this and more.

"Who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has been His councelor?"
Isaiah  40:13

"For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength."
1st Corinthians  25

"The wisdom granted to us as believers is not of this world, or this age, it is the timeless wisdom of an Eternal Being."
1st Corinthians  2:  6-8


GOD'S POWER TRANSCENDS OUR POWER

God's power is incomprehensible even to us who believe because it was this same power that raised Jesus from the dead, thereby defeating death itself.

Our God is so powerful that He holds the waters of the sea in His hand, He weighs the mountains of the earth in His scale, 

"Looking at them
  Jesus said to them
  with people it is
  impossible, but not             with God; for all 
  things are possible 
  with God."        
  Mark 10:27 and 
  Matthew 19:26
   

"Were He to snatch away, who could restrain Him? 
 Who could say to Him, 'what are You 
doing? ' "
 Job 9:12

"I saw God moving across the dessert, His brilliant splendour fills the earth and sky. His glory fills the heavens and earth is full of His praise. What a wonderful God He is, from His hands flash rays of brilliant light, He rejoices at His awesome power, pestilence marches before Him and plague follows close behind.  He stops. He stands still for a moment, gazing at the earth, then He stuns the nations, scattering the everlasting mountains and levelling the hills.  His awesome power is just the same as always."
Habakuk  3: 17-19


We cannot ever hope to understand or fully comprehend our Mighty God. Ultimately when we fully grasp God's transcendency we bow in reverent fear and awe and worship.

He is so far beyond us that we cannot bring Him down to our level. Instead we bow and exalt Him. It staggers our minds that this Awesome Being could love us and yet He does.  I will praise and worship Him forever.

TWENTY SIXTEEN - PART TWENTY FOUR

                                     Hello folks

                                                       trust you are all well.                It is now 26th May,                  Jeff's birthday. Must                  remember to phone                  him.

     I have been practicing my        typing again, but I am not        winning.  It is so very cold, and we do not have any heaters.  I am fine while in bed as I have an electric blanket. I also have Ruth's hot water bottle, but it is difficult to type while juggling  a hot water bottle between your feet and your lap.

I have also been doing some research on "google"
re lung function as this appears to be what my Doctor is wanting to improve and thus the very expensive script. It includes ventilators and such. Some of the medication is for treating my Atrial Fibrillation but seems the meds side effects are as bad as the actual disease. 

Suggested to Ruth to scrap the script. I am not willing to let Steve pay R2000 per month for medication that carries such high risk of side effects.  She does not agree with me.  She says the doctor is trying to make me more comfortable.  I cannot see how I can be more comfortable when I know about the risks involved.

Danny is going to see the doctor tomorrow. He is battling with his asthma. Changes in season are the cause, but it must be pretty bad for him to actually go and see a doctor. He normally knows how to manage it.

27th May

Danny saw doctor today at 5.30pm.  Phlemn sample sent for tests. Will have results tomorrow. Sounds serious.

28th May

Results from Laboratory -  Danny has traces of napthalene in his phlemn.  

Apparently Thea put mothballs in cupboards, amongst the clothing, on top of cupboards, under cupboards. 

I did research on nephtalene,  it is deadly, take my advice and stay away from mothballs.  Apparently kills off your red blood cells.  He and Thea could both have died if his asthma had not alerted them. They were breathing it in since the beginning of May. 

Thea is now washing cupboards,  clothing etc. Danny told by doctor to have physio once a day for  a week but as it costs R500 to R700 per session and he is not on a medical aid, it is beyond his reach.  He is using the nebulizer, three times a day instead.





8th June, Danny's lungs still not good but slowly getting better.




16th  June - Danny's Birthday..  I don,t  seem to be doing too well with this blog - I skip days at a time without even realizing it.  That is what happens when you do not write it daily.  The days fly past and you forget what happened.

Will try to do better in future.

Praying for Danny's healing of his lungs.

                                           DINNER DATE
                                        An elderly couple go to a popular restaurant for   dinner.



They order and when the food arrives the
 wife tucks in and begins thoroughly
 enjoying the meal, while the husband sits 
back in his chair hands folded in his lap.

The waiter approaches with a worried frown 
on his face ;

"Is there something wrong sir?"
 he asks,

"No son. Everything is fine. I am just waiting for my wife to finish eating, it is her turn to eat first. We only have one set of dentures between us."

MY FAVORITE PSALMS - PART TWENTY THREE

  But I am poor and  needy. Make haste         unto me, O God,             Thou art my help
  and my deliverer. 
  O Lord,  make no  tarrying.

In Thee O Lord, do I put my trust. Let me never be put to confusion. Deliver me in Thy righteousness and cause me to escape. Incline Thine ear unto me and save me. Be Thou my strong habitation whereunto I may constantly resort. Thou hast given commandment to save me for Thou art my hope, O Lord God, Thou art my trust from my youth.

Let my mouth be filled with Thy praise and with Thy honor all the day long. O God, be not far from me. But I will hope continually, and I will yet praise Thee more and more. My mouth shall shew forth Thy righteousness and Thy salvation all the day.

I will go in the strength of the Lord God, I will make mention of Thy righteousness, even of Thine only, O God.  Thou hast taught me from my youth; and hitherto have I declared Thy wondrous works.  Now also when I am old and grey headed , O God, forsake me not; until I have shewed Thy strength to this generation and Thy power to everyone who is to come.

Thy righteousness also,  O God, is very high, Who hath done great things. O God, who is like unto Thee?  Thou which hath shown me great and sore troubles, shall quicken me again, and shall bring me up out of the  depths of the earth.
Thou shalt increase my greatness and comfort me on every side.

    I will also praise Thee  with the psaltery, even Thy truth, O my God,               unto Thee will I sing               with the harp, O Thou             Holy One of Israel. 




My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto Thee and my soul which Thou hast redeemed. My tongue also shall talk of Thy righteousness all the day long.

AWESOME GOD - THE ALPHA AND THE OMEGA

                                            AWESOME GOD -           THE ALPHA AND           THE OMEGA

   In God's Word, the  Bible, God identifies          Himself as the Alpha   and the Omega.

Alpha is the first letter in the Greek alphabet and Omega is the last letter. In other words God is the beginning and the end.

ALPHA

God has existed for trillions upon trillions of years. He never had a beginning.

"From everlasting to everlasting He is God."
Psalms  90:2


OMEGA

God is a never ending Omega for everyone. He is either a fountain of eternal life or He is a wine press of wrath and a lake of fire.

"I am the Alpha and the Omega, "  says the Lord God, "Who is and Who was, and Who is to come, the Almighty."
Revelation  1:8


"I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end."
Revelation 22:13


"Thus says the Lord, the King of Israel, and his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts, ' I am the first and the last, and there is no God before Me. ' "
Isaiah 44:6


"Listen to me O Jacob, even Israel whom I have called, I am He, I am the first and I am also the last."
Isaiah  48:12

Since everything comes from God and nothing will outlast Him, God has the first word and the last word in history.

God's Wisdom, Power, Strength, Love, Righteousness, Truth, Goodness and Loving Kindness are all eternal.   God did not emerge out of many possibilities, everything emerged out of Him.

"In Him we live and move and have our being."
Acts  17:28

"And he is before all things and by Him all things consist."
Colossians  1:17


 "Then He said to me,  'It is done, I am the            Alpha and the Omega,      the beginning and the        end. I will give to the  one who thirsts, from        the spring of the water  of life without cost. He who overcomes will inherit these things  and I will be his God  and he shall be my  son."
 Revelation 21:  6-7

"But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the polluted, the murderers, the fornicators, sorcerers, idolators,  and all liars,  their lot shall be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death. "

When God says that He will give water from the fountain of life to those who are thirsty, He does not mean that everyone who would like to avoid hell and live forever will be saved - because everyone would like that. God means everyone whose soul really and truly thirsts for Him and not for the power and the pleasures of this world Will receive this water.


"When I saw Him, I fell at His feet, like a dead man, and He placed His right hand on me saying, 'Do not be afraid, I am the first and the last, and the Living One, I was dead and behold I am alive forevermore and I have the keys of death and of hades."
Revelation  1:  17-18

Life in this world is a very serious matter because what you make of God here, will determine how you meet Him in the end.

Pray that God will open our eyes to see the staggering alternatives before we reach  the brink of eternity. 

"Be faithful unto death and I will give you a crown of life."
Romans  2:10

TWENTY-SIXTEEN - PART TWENTY THREE

                                                Hello folks,  

After doctor's visit  I now had a  new script  for just over       R1975 -  As the Medical Aid is almost depleted the most they  are prepared to  pay is R700 .

 The remaining  R1275  is to be paid by the Medical Aid member.  Needless to say, we could not afford the script.

Did our shopping, got home in peak hour traffic. We have to consult with Steve re medication, but both of us too exhausted at this stage, so we decided to do it in the morning. Ruth will explain everything about the script to me and then  we would scan the two page document and send it to Steve, by email.  I  had missed out on the conversation with the doctor due to hearing aid playing up again, for the second time.

Friday 20th May,  both of us still too exhausted to think about the script.  Saturday and Sunday script still not discussed.  On Monday I suggested we sort out the issue of the script but I was shrugged off,   receiving a brusque   "Not Now!"

I know that when she gets too exhausted the Bi-polar takes over.  So I try my best to avoid stressful situations.

I didn't make any effort to scan the two page script as I am unfamiliar with the new printer, and even if I could it would have been pointless as I needed to understand it before I could send it to Steve by email.  

Tuesday morning Steve phoned, he had seen that I had been for blood tests and wanted to know what it was about. I tried explaining the situation, but as I did not understand it myself, I found it rather difficult.  

While I was talking to him Ruth came into the room and left angrily when she saw I was talking to him. I went on trying to explain for a while when I realized he was no longer on the phone.

                                            

When the call ended I              had to face her anger  - I was accused of stirring up  trouble between her                  and her brother.



She then sat  down in front of the notebook and ordered me to come and help her as we were now going to sort it out.  When she sits at the computer I cannot see what she is doing as I cannot bend my body to get into the right position, to get my eyes close enough.

She was now angry because I cannot see and I cannot hear. I imagine all this stuff. She now made the scans and did the email but could not get the scanned invoice attachment into the email.

Since getting the new printer I do not know how it works, everything has changed from what I am used to . She now had had enough and dumped the rest of the process into my lap, giving me some mumbled instructions,  knowing how difficult it would be for me, and left me to sort it out.

Eventually  I did manage to get the scan in place and sent the email. 

Tension again, it will blow over. It always does. - I never know when it it is Bi-Polar talking or lack of self-control.  Here I was patiently  suffering in silence waiting for four days for my medication and because Steve phones me to query the doctor's visit, she accuses me of stirring up trouble.

I  know that God is in control of every situation in my life  and I am learning that I must be humble and keep my mouth shut to maintain the peace.  "Least said soonest mended." 

Also what I must mention here is that caring for an old person is like having a ball and chain around your neck. I know because I have been there when I took care of my own mother. 

And what makes it worse for her is that her own health is not good. Bi polar and Fibromyalgia are not easy things to have to deal with without the extra worry of caring for an aged person. 

This just goes to show how God is in it with us. He gives us the ability to cope and he leads our steps. If this was not so the whole situation would have exploded into chaos a long time ago.
He is refining both of us and when He is finished we shall come forth as gold

So, we just go on trusting in Him and waiting on Him.  He has promised 

 "I will never leave you nor forsake you."

ANOTHER JOKE

                                            EMERGENCY CALL

 A doctor answers the                                              phone and hears the                                                familiar voice of a                                                   colleague on the line:


"We need a fourth for poker."


"I'll be right over."   the doctor answers.


As he is putting on his coat he wife asks:

"Is it serious?"

"Yes. Quite serious.  In fact there are three doctors there already."

MY FAVORITE PSALMS - PART TWENTY TWO

  Ascribe ye strength         unto God, His                 excellency is over           Israel and His                 strength is in the           clouds. O God, Thou     art terrible out of Thy Holy places; the God of Israel is He that giveth strength and power unto a His people. Blessed be God.

Save me, O God, for the waters have come in unto my soul. I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing. I have come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.

I am weary of my crying, my throat is dried, my eyes fail, while I wait for my God. They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs on my head.

O God, Thou knoweth my foolishness and my sins are not hid from Thee. But as for me, my prayers are unto Thee, O Lord, in an acceptable time, in the multitude of Thy mercy, hear me, in the truth of Thy salvation.

Deliver me out of the mire and let me not sink, let me be delivered from them that hate me and out of the deep waters.

Let not the waterflood overflow me, neither let the deep swallow me up, and let not the pit shut her mouth upon  me.

Hear me, O God, for Thy lovingkindness is good, turn unto me according to the multitude 
of Thy tender mercies. And hide not Thy face, Hear me speedily.

Draw nigh unto my soul and redeem it. Deliver me because of my enemies. Thou hast known my reproach and my shame and my dishonour, my enemies are all before Thee.




 Reproach hath broken            my heart and I am full            of heaviness and I                    looked for someone to              take pity but there was            none and for comforters
 but there were none.


They gave me also gall for my meat, and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.

I will praise the Name of God with a song, and will magnify Him with thanksgiving. The humble shall see this and be glad. And your heart shall live that seek God. For the Lord heareth the poor and does not despise His prisoners.

Let the heaven and the earth praise Him, the seas and everything that moveth therein.

Let all who seek Thee rejoice in Thee and be glad and let such as love Thy salvation say continually - let God be magnified.

As there have never been any  redheads on either side of the family the father needs constant reassurance that this particular child is really his.

Eventually, as he lies on his death bed he pleads with his wife once again to reassure him that the child is indeed his. 

His wife decides that it is time now to tell him the truth, so she says:

AWESOME GOD - SCRIPTURES FOR ANXIETY AND FEAR

                                                OUR AWESOME               GOD'S WORD ON           ANXIETY AND                 FEAR

Right throughout the Bible, God has  given us Scriptures to strengthen and sustain us against fear and anxiety. Through these verses He teaches us that no matter what our circumstances, if we trust Him, all will be well. He will never leave us nor forsake us.

Here are a few:

"Even though the fig trees have all been destroyed, and there is no blossom left nor fruit,
And if the olive crops all fail
and all the fields lie barren
And even if the flocks die in the field
and the cattle barns are empty,
yet will I trust in the Lord
I will rejoice in the God of my salvation
for He will give me the speed of a deer
and bring me safely over the mountains."
Habakuk  3: 17-19


   "Thou dost keep him in perfect peace,                whose mind is stayed on Thee, because
 he trusts in Thee."
 Isaiah 26:3

"And the peace of God which passes all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus."
Phillipians  4:7

"The Lord is my light and my salvation
whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the strength of my life
of whom shall I be afraid?"

"My God shall supply all my needs
according to His richness in glory
by Christ Jesus."
Phillipians 4 : 19

I am a child of God, my heavenly father has adopted me into His family, He has moved me out of darkness into the light of His kingdom. God's protective shield is around me and He is providing for every need that I may have,


"If God be for us, who can be against us?"
Romans 8:31

"Cast all your cares upon Him, because He cares for you."
1st Peter 5:7



 
 "Cast all your anxiety          upon Him, because            He cares for you."
     Psalm  15:5




"Cast all your burden upon the Lord, and He will sustain you. He will never permit the righteous to be moved."
Psalm 55:22

"The young lions do lack and suffer hunger, but they that fear the Lord shall not want for any good thing."
Psalms 34:10

"I have been young and now I am old, yet I have not seen the righteous nor his seed begging bread."
Psalm 37:25

"They that wait upon the Lord, will renew their strength, they shall mount up on wings as eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint."
Isaiah  40: 31

We have an anchor that keeps the soul
steadfast and sure while the billows roll
fastened to the Rock that cannot move
grounded firm and deep in the Saviour's love.

"Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers them from them all."
Psalm 34:19

"Trust In the Lord with all your heart and lean not unto your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and H will direct your paths."


3 Important steps to trusting God

(1) Surrender Yourself and all your problems to God.

(2) Fill your mind With as many of the above scripture verses  as possible? Ban all negative thoughts from your mind.

(3) Wait patiently For the Lord. He is never late

TWENTY SIXTEEN - PART TWENTY TWO

                                   Hi folks, 

                                                     sorry I missed out on                a few days, when I did my        last blog so I have gone back    to the 19th May.  I have an        appointment with my                Specialist Physician today.

   I was so ill yesterday - my        diastolic blood pressure    which is usually in the nineties suddenly                dropped to the  low sixties. Very nauseous and even had a spell of vomiting. I put it down to the medication I took for gout, which normally I try to avoid, but the pain became so unbearable, I really didn't have an option.  On top of this I also took a painkiller, wrong move. 

My G.P. had told Ruth on the phone,  to get an ambulance and get me to hospital asap as my heart could stop beating at any moment. I also suffer from AFIB (Atrial Fibrillation) and my pulse was more abnormal than usual.

Ruth tried her best to get me to go, but I was adamant - no hospital for me - also I would miss my Specialist Physician appointment for which I had already waited six months.  I knew that God is in control and He wasn't showing me to go to hospital. 

On the way to Specialist, Ruth  called on at the church for funds needed to bake two chocolate cakes for them for Sunday. 

Wonderful surprise,. she was given another box of groceries and R200 for diesel.  God our Father really does take good care of us. We praise and thank Him.

Spent three and a half hours at doctor's consulting rooms in medical centre. Blood tests, lung function tests, etc. 

We went to the wrong section of the building for the blood tests and Ruth asked an elderly lady whether I could sit on the empty seat between her and a schoolboy with whom she was in conversation. She nodded but made no move to accommodate me. I felt that I could not force the issue. It was as though an invisible hand held me back.  So I resorted to unpacking the basket seat of my walker in order to sit down and when I looked again the "empty" seat was now occupied by a schoolgirl who had laid hands on the elderly lady and was praying for her. 

There was a small group of other school children standing close to them and in an instant I realized that this prayer meeting had been pre-arranged, and we had almost spoiled it for them.  It really warmed my heart to see how involved God is with His children.

ANOTHER JOKE

                                           UNDERSTAND THE                                              QUESTION

                                            A drunk man, who         smelled of beer sat         down on the subway       next to a priest. The       man's tie was stained, his face was plastered with lipstick and half a bottle of gin was sticking out of his torn coat pocket.

He opened a newspaper and began reading. After a few minutes, he turned to the priest and asked:

"Father, what causes arthritis?" 

the priest replies:

"my son, it is caused by loose-living, being with cheap wicked women, too much alcohol,  contempt for our fellow-man, sleeping around with prostitutes and lack of a bath."

The drunk mutters:  "well, I'll be damned!"

then returns to his paper. 

The priest, thinking about what he has just said, nudges the man and apologizes:

"I'm very sorry, I didn't mean to come on so strong. How long have you had arthritis?"

The drunk answers: "I don't, father, I was just reading that the Pope does."

Moral of the story, make sure you understand the question before offering the answer.

MY FAVORITE PSALMS - PART TWENTY ONE

MY FAVORITE PSALMS - PART TWENTY ONE

 God be merciful to us    and bless us, and cause  Your face to shine upon  us; That Your way be      known upon earth.       Your saving health           among all nations.


Let the people praise Thee , O Lord, let all the people praise  Thee. O let the nations be glad and sing for joy for thou shalt judge the people righteously and govern the people upon earth.

Let the people praise Thee, O Lord, let all the people praise Thee. Then shall the earth yield her increase, and God, even our own God, shall bless us.

God shall bless us and even all the ends of the earth shall fear Him.

Let God arise, let His enemies be scattered. Let also them who hate him flee in fear before Him. As smoke is driven away, so drive them away, as wax melts before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.

But let the righteous be glad,; let them rejoice before God; yea let them exceedingly rejoice.

Sing unto God, sing praises to His Name; extol Him Who rides upon  the heavens by His Name JAH  and rejoice before Him.

A father of the fatherless and a judge of the widows is God in His holy habitation.

God sets the solitary in families; He brings out those who are bound with chains; but the rebellious dwell in a dry land.


 O God, when Thou went          forth before Your  people, when Thou didst march through the wilderness; the earth shook and the heavens   also dropped at the presence of God. ; even Sinai itself was moved by the presence of God. The God of Israel.

Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, whereby Thou didst confirm Thy inheritance, when it was weary.

Blessed be the Lord, Who daily loadeth us with benefits,  even the God of our salvation; He that is our God  is the God of salvation and unto God the Lord, belong the issues from death.

Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth, O sing praises unto the Lord. To Him that rides upon the heaven of heavens that were of old; Lo, He He doth send out His voice, and that a mighty voice.
