John 7:17-24
Inspired thots:
v17,18
When one chooses to do God's will, he is prepared to be a 'servant' or a worker accountable to his superior. He is on a mission; focused on a task; his objective is to complete the assignment as instructed for the one who gave the instructions. His focus is NOT on himself but on the originator of the instructions or task.
That is what makes a person 'nothing false'. He is a 'man of truth'.
This phrase 'nothing false' reminds me of how Jesus addressed Nathanael in John 1:47 - the exact words; a true Israelite. He must've been an honorable man, seeking God and obeying the commandments.
Yet Nathanael was not one of Jesus' 12 disciples; his brother Philip was. (Matt 10:2-4)
v24 Man's way of life is by judging through sight - mere appearances - which one can hide or camouflage the true intents of the heart.
No wonder Jesus commanded 'make a RIGHT judgment' at the end. Truly, only God can make the RIGHT judgment, for He alone knows what is in a man. (John 2:24)
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! :)
