THE HONOR OF GOD AND DECISIONS OF FAITH CATEGORY (CONT.)

CATEGORY (CONT.)

he course of our lives, and the success of our businesses, is largely deterCATEGORY mined by the(CONT.) decisions that we make; and the decisions that we make are in turn governed by the priorities that we establish. As Christians, we should set as a high priority the Glory and Honor of the Lord. Exodus 14 records the famous account of crossing the Red Sea. What gets most o

the attention is the dramatic parting of the waters and the amazing escape of Israel from Egypt. What is most instructive is the dialogue that went on there between the Lord and Moses, which gives us the Lord’s take on the whole situation: CATEGORY (CONT.)

(CONT.) “Then I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, so CATEGORY that he will pursue them; and I will gain honor over Pharaoh and over all his army, that the Egyptians may know that I am the Lord.”

*** But lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it. And the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea. And I indeed will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall follow them. So I will gain honor over Pharaoh and over all his army, his chariots, and his horsemen. Then the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I have gained honor for Myself over Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horsemen.” CATEGORY (CONT.) CATEGORY (CONT.) (14: 4, 16, 17) The people were focused on their immediate position; but the Lord was focused on His own Honor. As Christians, we need to have the same mindset, to center on the Honor of God, and not just on our own situation. This is where many Christians lose their focus, and so lose the direction that the Lord desires in their lives, and why some even lose their faith in difficult times.

As a lawyer, many people come to my office with business and personal problems, and what they want is for me to make the problem go away. Get me out of this. Fix this mess. What is the fastest, cheapest, most expedient way out of this present problem? That is often the way we pray: we ask God to make the problems go away.But that is not how the Lord surveys the situation. Rather, the verses in Exodus 14 tell us that the Lord is acting so that He will be glorified on the earth. Israel’s deliverance was a by-product of His glory. This is from Psalm 106: CATEGORY (CONT.) (CONT.) Our fathers in Egypt did not understandCATEGORY Your wonders;

SHEPHERD’S GUIDE SPOTLIGHT continued from page 47, “The Honor of God and Decisions of Faith” by CPN On Point

Some Christians today do not understand His wonders – they do not understand that God acts for the sake of His holy name. In Ezekiel chapter 36, the Spirit of God looks far into the future, to the gathering of Israel out of the world — how the Lord will cleanse them, and put a new heart in them, and make a new covenant with them — and says this (v. 22, 23): “Thus says the Lord God: I do not do this for your sake, O house of Israel, but for My holy name’s sake … And I will sanctify My great name … and the nations shall know that I am the Lord, says the Lord God, when I am hallowed in you before their eyes.” In John 9, Jesus saw a man born blind. The disciples asked who sinned, this man or his parents? The disciples asked: what was the cause, what was the problem? Jesus said that this blindness was so that the works of God should be revealed in him and that God would be glorified in his life. So the operative question in decision making should not be: what is the fastest, cheapest way out of this problem? Your question should be: what action would most glorify God in this situation? What would most honor Jesus Christ? What would be the greatest testimony to the Lord?

When you ask the right question, the right answer is usually obvious, as it was at the Red Sea: And the Lord said to Moses, Why do you cry to Me? Tell the children of Israel to go forward…. And the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea. (Exodus 14: 15, 16)

Christians should be patient and wait on the Lord, and not to have the hysteria of action. But we should not have the hysteria of inaction or paralysis either. The Lord said to Moses: Tell the people to move forward. Some years ago, the phrase WWJD – what would Jesus do? – became all the rage, and appeared on plaques, bracelets, and T-shirts. The problem is that what Jesus would do, I usually can’t do. If there was someone sick, Jesus would heal him. If the people were hungry, Jesus would feed them with five loaves. If somebody died young, Jesus would raise him to life. I can’t do that. I suggest that rather our operative question should be WWFD: what would faith do? Or in other words, what is the next logical step of faith? Faith often takes the hard way – the way through the Sea – but at the end is the Honor of God, and no other result can compare.

SHEPHERD’S GUIDE SPOTLIGHT

www.shepherdsguide.com

WARNING SIGNS YOU NEED A NEW ROOF

1. ROOF AGE How old is your existing asphalt shingle roof? Most experts agree that a typical roof will last between 20 and 25 years. It also depends on whether the old roof was removed and you only have one layer of shingles, and if it is properly ventilated. If the roof was installed over another layer or several layers and it is older than 20 years, chances are you need a new roof. 2. SHINGLES CURLING & BUCKLING Shingles that are curled or buckling are another sign that you may need a new roof. Look at the slopes of your home that get direct sunlight and if you notice the shingles are curling and losing granules, it could mean the shingles are past their life expectancy.

3. ROOFING VALLEYS If your roof shingles are falling apart or missing in this area, it’s a definite sign you need a new roof. Valleys are one of the most important areas of your roof. Snow and rain flow through valleys and into gutters. If the valley is compromised, you could be susceptible to roof leaks. 4. MISSING SHINGLES These are another sign your roof could be failing. Check to see if all of the “tabs” are intact. 5. CHIMNEY FLASHING This is another area to be concerned about. If your flashing consists of roof cement or tar, it may need to be replaced with a long term, water-tight fitting, which would be a metal flashing system.

6. SHINGLE GRANULATES IN GUTTER Look in your gutters to see if they are loaded up with shingle granules. Roofs tend to lose more granules toward the end of their life cycle. 7. DAYLIGHT THROUGH THE ROOF BOARDS Check your attic to see if there is any daylight coming through the roof boards. Also check for moisture in the insulation. 91
