-Jewish citizen on the recapture of Jerusalem following 2000 yrs of exile.
There is nothing like a bit of time in the darkness to help us to appreciate the day.
I have entered my promised land after decades of wilderness time fearing man, and suffering at the hands of rejection How I came to spend this time would be the stuff of counselors offices but I am completely sure that it was all part of God's perfect plan for my life. God does use sorrow and suffering to not only fit us for Heaven but empower our testimony on earth.
Joshua and Caleb were witnesses of the power of the strength of the Anakim( Canaanite giants) but they did not cower to the fear of man. Why?
Because they feared God much much more. God is worthy of our fear. We must fear Him, since we cane not approach Him rightly any other way. If God was a teddy bear we could get away with waltzing into the throne room of God with a casual 'howzit going bro" But far be it from me to ever approach God in such a manner.
God is not our equal. We are incapable of comprehending the magnitude of His presence and power, although our awe of His wonderful creation goes some way it barely scratches the surface. He is so far above us that we could never get near enough to Him to know Him. But Father God wants us to know Him so..... the Lord of Heaven came down.
The firstborn of the Father was made flesh and dwelt among us.
Jesus had no fear of man because, He created all men and they had no power over him.
All mature followers of Christ will have to have overcome this giant to take possession of the promised land.
If Jesus had feared the nails all the world would have been lost for eternity.
That is why Jesus is now and ever shall remain my Greatest Hero.
