Isaiah 47:10 For thou hast trusted in thy wickedness: thou hast said, None seeth me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath perverted thee; and thou hast said in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me.

If I were to ask you to read all of Isiah 47 I would peradventure that most if not all who read this word of prophesy would answer, “Not me, he is not talking about me.”

Okay, I get it. You cannot or will not personalize this prophetic word. Now read it as if it were to apply to your home nation, your neighborhood, or your present circumstances. Can you see glimpses of truth in those words that may well apply in a bigger arena in which you are nothing more than in attendance?

Does this concern you? Do you feel helplessly caught up in something to which you have no control? This sense you might feel about being caught up in something bigger than yourself does not mean you are helpless.

You can pray.

Sometimes these particular prophetic messages are sent and meant to stir you to pray. In the secular world these concerns usually end up in rebellion, revolution, vandalism, death and destruction. Because you are a kingdom dweller, since you serve the One True God, King of Kings, Lord of Lords, then your petition needs to be to Him who does change the world.

If you want to share and ask others to join you in prayer fine but do not leave it up to others. You see it for a reason, if you see it, you need to pray. It is God’s way of calling you into service. You are not the least if He has called you.

Pray.

1 Corinthians 14:26 How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.

The past few posts I have written have been about one thing. One thing does not say everything about any object. Here Paul is pointing out each of us at any moment within our experience has a point. A psalm, a doctrine, a revelation, and it all has to do with a moment in time. You are not one thing.

When I point to one thing, please do not think that is all there is to be gained about an object, a lesson, an event, or scripture. I present a moment in time, a thought, perhaps common, perhaps not. I do not mean to say this is all there is on the matter. One thing is just that, one thing.

Much of what we relate to one another is best expressed one thing at a time. It is a subject for a moment and is not our entire life. Nor should we be stuck on one subject, observation, or one desire to the point that we wear people out listening to the same thing every time we gather.

If all you knew about me was that I play chess, then only those who love chess would listen. If I only talked about fishing there would be a larger audience but many would be left out of the conversation. We are a people of relationships and if we insist on one thing, one way of seeing a thing, then we are cutting of understanding one another.

I said My Cross reminds me of who I serve. Obviously it means more than that, but at that one moment I presented one thing to think about which said something about me. You can share one thing your cross means to you and in that we get to understand one another better.

It is neither right nor wrong, it is communion. Sharing.
