The Lord of hosts is the King of glory!


How much would you put down on a bet that was fixed - that you were certain of the results? Would you root for a football team that was destined to lose?

Faith, in some ways is unseen but really, the results are already in. That is, there is a team that will definately win, and another that will definately lose, but faith opens the eyes to see it.

The Bible says that the condemnation is that light came into the world but that light was rejected. Darkness was chosen because our deeds are evil and we don't want our evil exposed. That's why people (like me) love the darkness instead.

You can know God and know He exists, just as certain as you know wind and light, but do you want to know God?

People who come to God must believe that He exists and that He is good - that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.

Sometimes we don't seek Him, per say, but He gets us. That's what happened to me. He showed me He was real, and what else could I do? So, I followed Him. Timidly at first and boldly as time parades on.

The Lord of Hosts means the Reigner of the Army and all warfare. King means king and glory means everything that is absolutely awesome and wonderful and fantastic - like the best thing you can see, feel, taste, hear, enjoy and imagine. Did you know the Lord of Hosts is the King of Glory? And we can know and enjoy Him. And it is fun. And satisfies. He is enough for me.

He knocks on the door and it is up to us to open the door and let him in. I wonder how many people don't open the door?

it's such a privilege to know God and experience His peace and blessings because we're His children. we know He exist because we experience Him first hand. isn't it great to see all the people in the world accept Him too?

God bless.

Great Post! Lots to think about there. I remember when I came to know Him, I was seeking Him. I was sick and tired of being sick and tired. I was ready to put my life in Bigger hands.

However now there are times I seem to get caught up in the here and now. I want to pursue Him with all my heart and I do try to focus my attention on Him every morning and every night when I lay my head down.

But I wish I pursued Him more, there are so many things I want to know and His word is so exciting, it opens up when I read it and I can't seem to get enough, but there are always those distractions demanding my attention.

I have to make more time for Him.
