Hebrews 1


God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son? And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him. And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire. But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands: They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall wax old as doth a garment; And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail. But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool? Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?
(Heb 1:1-14)

Just Some Random Thoughts I've Had Lately

One thing in life I learned is not to blame people for anything. You always have the choice to do what you want to do. Most people want to convince you this is not true. God even lets you do this in an obey or disobey dynamic but it's still there. Another thing I know is people move on without you. We all do. There are places you don't fit no matter how you and others want you to fit. I realize I'm a unique person in the aspect of my principles and ideals. I can't help thinking I'm a sellout when I compromise these and become unmistakably frustrated because I'm going against my character and purpose allowing myself to be manipulated by some circumstance. I just don't belong there even though my skill set is beneficial my purpose is not being fulfilled. The non-spoken undertones, rebellion and fights for position get to me really easy since I met that in ministry my teenage years. Everybody talks about how God wants me to do "great things" but now I realize I use a different measuring stick. My mind works a little different I  usually see things coming pat what people try to blindside you with. Some things I don't have time to do again. What I need to know really is what God is doing now and what do you want me to do. I know there in the midst of the storm I still have peace that passes understanding. My labor ceases. Obedience to God is the goal. We can hear from Him directly through the finish work of Christ.
