Impressing God
There is someone we should seek to impress; however, He is the least impressionable person you could ever think of.
I - The Audience: GOD
The Transcendent God: "heaven is my throne"
a) what is heaven?
b) What's a throne?The Exalted God: "the earth is my footstool"
a) Why a footstool?The Uncontainable God:
Why the question of building a house?
A paradoxical wonder: God can be impressed...
II Who Impresses God?
The Poor of spirit
The Contrite of spirit lit.: the "lame" in spirit
True spiritual poverty produces contritionThe one who fears God: “who trembles at my word”
The last link on this chain…
The person for whom God has “respect” is fearful of His word and does not account as little any commandment from God.
Greatness in heaven Mt 5:19
CONCLUSION & QUESTIONS FOR MEDITATION ON THE LORD'S DAY
When was the last time you thought, “hum God must have felt good with me about this one”. Do you remember what it was about?
Is the event or action described in “1” compatible with what Isaiah 66:1-2 describes that impresses God?
Jesus, contrary to most of us, was not given to “praise” people but on some occasions He publicly said good things about certain people. Can you recollect at least two examples of people whom Jesus praised? What is the common trait in the examples you picked that you can single out as the root cause which moved Jesus to publicly praise or say something positive to or about those people
