"GOD      MOST      HIGH!!!!!!!!!!!!


"For YOU, LORD, are MOST HIGH ABOVE ALL!!!!!!!!!!!! (Psalm 97:9)


We are to exalt the LORD above everything that MEN call 'gods'.

Let's look at I Samuel chapters 4 - 5...

In chapter 4, when Israel battled the Philistines, the Philistines defeated Israel,
and they also captured (from Israel) the Ark of GOD.....

"Then the Philistines took the ark of GOD and brought it to Ashdod (a city of the
Philistines).

"The Philistines took the ark of GOD, and brought it into the house of Dagon------
(an idol, or "god" of the Philistines), and set the ark of GOD by Dagon.

"And when the people of Ashdod arose early in the morning, there was Dagon, fallen
on its face to the earth before the ARK OF THE LORD.
So they took Dagon and set it in its place again.

"And when they rose early the next morning, there was Dagon, fallen on its face to the
ground before the ark of the LORD.  The head of dagon and both the hands were broken off,
["broken off"  is actually CUT OFF, indicating the idol had not simply fallen and broken, BUT
had been DISMEMBERED].

So let us continually be asking HOLY GOD our FATHER to TEACH us to---
"...give to the LORD the GLORY DUE TO HIS NAME;
"Oh, WORSHIP THE LORD IN THE BEAUTY OF HIS HOLINESS!"
"TREMBLE BEFORE HIM, ALL THE EARTH."  (Psalm 96: 8-9)
     

ARE    YOU!!!    AN    APERTURE???

(The correct answer is "YES"!!!)

" In the beginning was the WORD, and the WORD was
with GOD and the WORD was GOD.  He was with GOD in
the beginning. Through HIM all things were made, and
without HIM nothing was made." (John 1:1-4)

Aperture - definition:

An opening, such as a hole or slit, an adjustable opening in
an optical instrument, such as a camera, that limits the
amount of light passing through a lens.

In John 8:12 JESUS says:
"I am the light."

So, JESUS is the light, and our hearts are apertures.
By definition, an aperture is ADJUSTABLE.

On some satellites that revolve around the earth, the
aperture allows enough light to pass through - - -
so that the camera can "read" the license plate on a
car or truck ---from 25,000 feet above the earth!!!

Attitude -  Definition:
A state of mind or a feeling.
Example: an  attitude of "friendliness."

As mentioned above, satellites revolve around the earth.

"And the WORD became flesh and dwelt
among us, and we beheld HIS GLORY, the
glory as of the only begotten of the Father,
full of grace and truth." (John 1:14)

As you and I (continue to) submit to GOD,
and continue to have an attitude of humility,
reverent awe, and love of GOD---

Then GOD can adjust our hearts/apertures so
that JESUS (the light) POURS through us---
bringing us to be ones whose
WORLD REVOLVES AROUND the SON  of GOD!!!
HOLY! HOLY! HOLY!

Let's You and Me submit to and allow GOD to adjust
our attitudes - so HIS LIGHT POURS through us, and
HE RECEIVES MORE AND MORE GLORY!!!!!!!!!!!!

HE is WORTHY!!!!!!! (Revelation 5:12)
