God’s true intent is to be a friend to man and to share of His enormous wealth. Wealth to God is a relative term; it has nothing to do with gold or the “so-called” valuable things of earth. The wealth of earth will be destroyed, but the wealth and mercies of God will abide forever. God’s abundance is limitless, but what good are those things which are not being used or appreciated. All that God owns will be forever His, and He will create whatever He needs to fulfill His mandate. In reality, man is nothing while God is everything. The significance of man is only realized in the love of his creator, and if it were not for God’s marvelous love we would have no true reason or purpose. True value is created when there becomes a demand for what is needed; and, without a demand, there is no need. When God is the supplier of our necessities, there is no shortage or holdup in supply. Our requests will be met as God sees that they are deserved and needed. If we are willing to take Him at His Word, then He will, by His Word, meet our every need. The true desire of man should be to please His Lord. The problem or difficulty arises when the lord of our lives is not the Lord of eternal peace and comfort. There is only one true God and there can be no other. Seeking to obtain the desirable from the rubbish of an evil world can supply no real victory. Expecting God’s blessings when you have not asked His forgiveness is to expect the goodness of God without doing as He has required. In the progression of time there has been a disconnect between man and God. That is not to say that God has forgotten man but that man has forgotten God. In man’s attempt of gaining the preeminence in his own life and the lives of those he wishes to influence; he has relinquished the need for God and all of His power and authority. The need for God has been pushed into the preposterous and the unbelievable; He is considered unnecessary and unneeded. Doing so has positioned man into that foreboding place of intense trouble and want. It has replaced the solutions and resources of God and exchanged them for the predicaments and divisiveness of an evil world. God is the only answer for a world that is suffering and dying without Him. Replacing the God Jehovah for one of the god’s of this world can in no way be considered wise or judicious. Worship of man and his inability to survive causes only certain fear and regret. Removing yourself from the righteous into the profane shows no true wisdom and will undoubtedly be your eternal undoing. GLH
