Jesus said, “How can I describe the Kingdom of God? What story should I use to illustrate it? – Mark 4:30 NLT

Creation to Discover\n

In 1990, NASA deployed the Hubble Space Telescope from the space shuttle Discovery. Scientists were determined to see what had never been seen before.\n

I think God gets excited anytime somebody does that \u2013 reaches for the undiscovered.\n

At one point, they aimed the telescope toward a very dark, seemingly empty part of space and waited 10 days for the images to be beamed back. They found what they thought was desolate space, was anything but. They counted over 1,500 galaxies, each containing millions of stars and countless planets.\n

How patient God is for us to finally discover what He has always had there for us! It is amazing to me that He is so anxious for us to see some facet of His character or kingdom, and so patient with our ability to find it. He\u2019s just awesome.\n

But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.\u00a0\u2013 2 Peter 3:8\n

This verse specifically speaks of God\u2019s patience with us. It is how long He will wait for us to come to Him, or to discover something new about Him in our quest for upgrade.\n

He also loves it when we discover something new about His creation. The Sombrero Galaxy was hanging there in the sky for a very long time before someone looked up and said, \u201cWow!\u201d The entire North American continent and the Western world sat silent for ages before Europe heard of it. El Capitan in Yosemite Valley stood rock solid in pristine condition for eons before the Paiute Indians made their camps in its shadow.\n

It took adventurous people who would not be confined to what was known to unlock these things for the rest of us. So it is with the things of God.\u00a0\u201cThis is God\u2019s Message, the God who made earth, made it livable and lasting, known everywhere as God: \u2018Call to me and I will answer you. I\u2019ll tell you marvelous and wondrous things that you could never figure out on your own.\u2019\u201d\u00a0\u2013 Jeremiah 33:3 The Message Bible","hover":"\nWhich Wolf Do You Feed?\n

Jesus-driven thinking helps and heals. This is what the Bible has to say on the subject: For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. \u2013 Romans 8:6\n

The Cherokee nation knew it, too. Check out this spot-on tribal tale:\n

An old Cherokee chief was teaching his grandson about life. He told the boy, \u201cA terrible fight is going on inside me. It is a fight between two wolves. One wolf is evil. He is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and self-doubt.\"\n

The old man continued: \u201cThe other wolf is good. He is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.\u201d He then told the boy, \u201cThis same fight is going on inside you and inside every other person, too.\u201d\n

The grandson thought about it for a minute, then asked his grandfather, \u201cWhich wolf will win?\u201d The wise old chief replied, \u201cThe one you feed.\u201d\n

What wolf have you been feeding? Just know the wolf of evil thoughts will eventually devour you, and likely others as well. Thoughts become actions, and there is always collateral damage.\n

That\u2019s not you! You can control your thought life and ensure the evil wolf starves to death."}},"slug":"et_pb_blurb"}">Creation to Discover

Grounded in FaithDeclare!

God sees me as a king. It is the glory of God to conceal a matter but the honor of kings to search out a matter (Proverbs 25:2). God wants me to call out to Him about those concealed matters so He can reveal Himself to me as I seek Him. I will seek for Him with all my heart every day.
