Romans 1:18-23
Rebecca Lightfoot
Through God’s Sovereign Omnipotence-Omniscience-Omnipresence,HE has made TRUTHS about HIMSELF known to every human being(Romans1:18”For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities-His eternal power and divine nature-have been clearly seen,being understood from what has been made.so that men are without excuse.”),but the arrogant evil which infected the world has made our thinking&beliefs foolish and futile because we “suppress the truth” by wicked thinking&living(Romans1:18).N these verses Paul is not talking just about those that have refused to believe TRUTH,but also we who have accepted TRUTH as TRUTH,and the Gospel of Christ(Romans1:21-23,”For although they knew God,they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to Him,but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened.Although they claimed to be wise,they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images...”).Part of this message is a wake up call for what I am “glorifying” in and through my life,AND what I am truly trusting in,i.e, where my real trust is placed for what I think&plan&live-because this is where my LIFE is demonstrating TRUST! I may say thanks to GOD,but what really matters is where my life/mind/heart are demonstrating TRUST...for this is what my life/mind/heart are GLORIFYING!Dear Lord,this hits me like a ton of bricks! Please make me aware of where my life/mind/heart are demonstrating TRUST...and what my life/heart/mind are GLORIFYING....& change me so I GLORIFY YOU only.
