The Real Secret

Can you keep The Secret? 

Most of us are familiar with the game 'telephone' in which someone whispers in the ear of someone else a secret. It is then that person's duty to tell the secret to the person next to them...and that person tells the secret to another person until it comes around to the originator of the secret.

What this exercise reveals is that 'the secret' has many variations. The final result may be far different than the secret as it was originally revealed. This is why historical researchers strive to find the primary sources of an idea or a fact in order to clear away all of the reinterpretations and embellishments that are passed on through the generations.

What Is The Real Secret?

The Day Shall Declare It

False Pride

I recently spent some time helping my wife's sister in law with moving. My wife was quick to extol my efforts and make me feel as if I had just completed the world's first heart transplant. It was a sweet reward.

Yet I see in my heart's response that subtle ploy that robs me of the joy of presenting Christ with something of lasting value. 

"The sacrifices of God [are] a broken spirit: 

a broken and a contrite heart, 

O God, thou wilt not despise." 

[Psa 51:17 KJV] 

It is often the praise that we receive of men that, if we allow it, can rob God of blessing more than any false accusations leveled against us...

Falsely Accused

Becoming Jonathans Part 2

So far we are learning that the prince of Israel, King Saul's son Jonathan, has recognized that God has chosen David to be the next king of Israel instead of Jonathan. This is the stuff that Hollywood dramas are made of...Palace intrigues; jealousies and power grabs. In this case it would have to be a work of fiction... the usual Hollywood drivel...since reality is just the opposite.

Instead of what we would expect, Jonathan displays a different set of priorities. Rather than his own privileges and perks, the young prince shows his desire to see God's priorities established.We have seen already how Jonathan hands over his royal robe and his personal garments that mark him as one with the right to rule and also as a man of privilege.

Both of these are relinquished to God's will.

Now we see him getting serious.
