What are you remembered for?
King David anointed by God and a mighty warrior, a man whose praises were
sung very loudly. [1 Samuel 18:7] He was a man of humble beginnings as he
watched the flocks by night to keep them safe from the enemies who would
try to destroy them. [1 Samuel 16:11] He wrote many Psalms such as ‘I walk
through the valley of death,’ [Psalm 23] and ‘Against you only have I sinned
Lord’. [Psalm 51:4] He was a great King of Israel and he walked in the ways
of God. He brought the Tabernacle to Jerusalem [1 Chronicles 23:25] and
through him God said He would establish his Kingdom forever. [2 Samuel
7:16]
He showed weakness when he ran from his enemies [2 Samuel 15:14] and
he stepped outside of God’s anointing from time to time, [2 Samuel 24:10] he
even committed adultery and killed to hide it. [2 Samuel 11:17] But he was
also prepared to listen to rebuke and repent of those sins. [2 Samuel 12:1]
He gave God the glory for his success to the point that he wanted to build a
“House” for God.
Many people have no problem in recognising this man as a great leader of
Israel, there are many statues of him in many museums that remind us he did
exist and is part of history. There is the point he is part of history, his time is
gone and will never return. In the words of Job we are here for such a short
time and then we are gone never to return. [Job 14:2]
Listening to my Grandchildren I hear much confirmation that you may be
famous, you may have conquered great things, but one day and in a very
short time you will be forgotten by most of the population.
However there is one who will never forget you, God the Father, as you were
made in His image [Genesis 1:27] and wonderfully made. [Psalm 139:13-14]
David spoke of Him, the prophets spoke of Him coming to earth. Because He
lived the whole world has been changed by Him -. Yes Yeshua lived then as
He lives today. Unlike David He was not a great warrior, He did not sin, He
never showed weakness and never went outside God’s will no matter how
bad things looked. [Matthew 26:42]
Many people deny He exists today and say that He never walked on the
earth in the form of mankind and yet they enjoy a lifestyle that could never
have happened without Him. Islam denies Him, Buddhists deny Him, Hindus
deny Him and their lifestyles are one of continuous struggle to find salvation
without Him. People of the West have Him all around them but are blinded
from Him by the world. They seek peace in money they seek peace in a form
of spirituality that only leads to darkness. [John 3:19] They seek peace in
eastern religions by which the people of the east are continually trying find
peace through chants, flags and meditation. However when they learn of
The Prince of Peace, Yeshua, the one who came from Heaven [John 6:51] to
set the captives free, [Luke 4:18] died for their sins [1 Corinthians 15:3] and
has returned to sit at the right hand of the Father [Acts 2:33] and will one day
return for His Bride [1 Thessalonians 4:16-17] they are attacked by those who
have no peace.
Yeshua Jesus born of a virgin who grew in wisdom and stature, who walked
the earth doing many miracles and who was without sin, [Hebrews 4:15] who
died a sinners death and rose on the third day [1 Peter 3:18] conquering
death for all time for those who would believe. [Revelation 20:6] And who
will return one day with a great trumpet blast proclaiming His Kingdom. [1
Corinthians 15:52] All we have to do is believe, stop the struggling through
works and meditation and objects and just surrender to Him, the one who
saves simply by us confessing Him Lord of our lives. You say you have done
this, but when was that? Today or 20 years ago? This is a daily requirement
to be able to walk in His ways as through this confession of continuous faith
He will hear your cry and come in to sit with you daily. [Revelation 3:20]
