John 3:22- 36
Inspired thots:
It seems only John the baptist gets it with the things of God - and that is such a privilege. He does not push himself forward for self, but does what God wants him to, says what God reveals.
No wonder Jesus said no one is greater than John the baptist.
v27 - 'A man can only receive WHAT is GIVEN HIM from heaven'
It is God who gives EACH person what He wants to give; and it is the best for He knows best.
v29 - 'the bride belongs to the bridegroom'
... the friend... waits..., listens..., is joyful FOR the groom. The friend does not take what is not his; what belongs to the groom; he is righteous; he knows his position and acts on it well. His reward is joy. Simple but sufficient.
I must learn simplicity is sufficiency.
v30 - 'He must become greater; I must become less'
Ps RT's favorite verse; and how appropriate for man to keep that in mind, heart and soul. That will keep one humble of his status, for only God is great. Yes, this is a great verse for I am His creation. Only God be exalted!
A daily time out with the Lord Jesus, to hear Him speak to ME. I am asking the Lord to share HIS thoughts with ME, to teach me more about Himself, and how I can be drawn closer to Him... for 'His thoughts are not my thoughts and neither are His ways my ways' Isaiah 55:8,9. This blog is not a theological exegesis. This blog is to record down the INSIGHTS & INSPIRATIONS of God's Word to me; speaking LIFE into my life for Abundant life! :)
