THE REAL YOU…There are many different versions of us that show up in the average week. At work we might be a focused business mind. Then a couple hours later, we put on our evening persona and are laughing and telling jokes while at dinner with friends. Then on the weekend, we shift into ‘slug’ mode and stay in our sweats until noon drinking coffee. Then of course come Sunday it’s the natural thing to put on our ‘spiritual cloak’ and check in with the Big Guy! With all of these different versions showing up…who is the real you? Do you even know? Do you know how to tell? Here’s some help from scripture…
“As a face is reflected in water, so the heart reflects the real person”.
~Proverbs 27:19
We are not the sum of our intelligence, as some propose. Neither are we the sum of our negative history, as some feel trapped in. However, if you we want a good read on who we really are…look at what’s flowing out of our hearts. By this I don’t mean our intentions. Some people measure themselves by their intentions and are frustrated that the world measures them only by their actions. But it’s our actions that reveal out hearts…the telltale of the real us. So what is flowing out of our hearts? Is there a desire to be with and work with Christ? Is there an eye for the needs in others around us present? Are we willing to take some of our needed money and time to lift someone else up? Truthfully, there are many people who don’t even know what is trying to come out of their hearts. They are so cerebral that the soft voice of wisdom is seldom heard. They can go through an entire week responding only to what their minds have lined up next in their schedule. The real them is…“occupied”! Who they are is… “distracted”! They don’t know their heart. They haven’t listened for a while. What a great thing for anyone to stop and ask, “so what is my heart saying?” The answer to that question is…THE REAL YOU! ~verlon

"He shatters the doors of bronze and the bars of iron" [Psalm 107:16]. he does win...But was he in Confrontation..Before he died and descended into hell and rose...Seems to me the battle was already in play and made manifest in the world in opposition....Good and evil visible ....

The Maccabean Period, also called the Hasmonean Period, or Period of Independence, lasted from 167 to 63 B.C. during which the land was ruled by leaders from the family of Judas Maccabeus. It ended when the Romans took control of the country in 63 B.C. (see Ancient Empires - Rome)
ReplyDeleteGuess got things mixed...Who was head of the Pharises at time of christ????
The Maccabees? Who was the most powerful Jewish family at the time of Christ? What family was the most powerful among the Pharisees of the temple. Who was at the most risk , of the focus of Christ, and who had the most to gain at Christ's Death? Does this mean that there was an Anti-in manifestation in them against Christ....I have a book on Palestine at the time of Christ...Guess I have a lot to read...
