“Can a man be profitable to God,
Though he who is wise may be profitable to himself?
3 Is it any pleasure to the Almighty that you are righteous?
Or is it gain to Him that you make your ways blameless?
4 “Is it because of your fear of Him that He corrects you,
And enters into judgment with you?
5 Is not your wickedness great,
And your iniquity without end?
6 For you have taken pledges from your brother for no reason,
And stripped the naked of their clothing.
7 You have not given the weary water to drink,
And you have withheld bread from the hungry.
8 But the mighty man possessed the land,
And the honorable man dwelt in it.
9 You have sent widows away empty,
And the strength of the fatherless was crushed.
10 Therefore snares are all around you,
And sudden fear troubles you,
11 Or darkness so that you cannot see;
And an abundance of water covers you.
12 “Is not God in the height of heaven?
And see the highest stars, how lofty they are!
13 And you say, ‘What does God know?
Can He judge through the deep darkness?
14 Thick clouds cover Him, so that He cannot see,
And He walks above the circle of heaven.’
15 Will you keep to the old way
Which wicked men have trod,
16 Who were cut down before their time,
Whose foundations were swept away by a flood?
And see the highest stars, how lofty they are!
13 And you say, ‘What does God know?
Can He judge through the deep darkness?
14 Thick clouds cover Him, so that He cannot see,
And He walks above the circle of heaven.’
15 Will you keep to the old way
Which wicked men have trod,
16 Who were cut down before their time,
Whose foundations were swept away by a flood?
Can a man be profitable to God though he who is wise may be profitable to himself? verse 2 asks. Our Lord is here, thank God, and there is much work that needs to be done in His kingdom. The Lord is here to bless all who will come to Him and receive His orders. It's not enough to just sit back and watch our world operate believing we have it all figured out. God says, it's a terrible thing to gain the whole world and loose our souls. He also states, that our worlds wisdom is foolishness to Him. We must search for, and find God, for His fear to set in. As we can see by our world's turmoil, the fear of God is not operating in our beings. He and satan are at war, so we can see who's winning. Praise God. We have taken pledges with one another and have stripped one another bone dry, spiritually, mentally, and physically. It's heartbreaking to see our world move about in a self righteous spirit. From young to old, from poor to rich, we are all about self while God is blessing and cursing our every move. Omnipotent is the God of our universe. There's no other God like Him and He chooses to be the Father we never had. Look deep within your hearts, then pray to the Heavens to the God who is there to give us His plan and develop our lives. We can turn our situation around. That starts with loving God with all our soul and loving one another as we love ourselves. Then watch Him bless you.
(Galatians 6:2-5)
2 Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. 3 For if anyone thinks himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself. 4 But let each one examine his own work, and then he will have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. 5 For each one shall bear his own load.
Blessings to all as we watch God do a tremendous work on our lives,
