LIVING FOR JESUS

SEPTEMBER 10^TH.

Habakkuk 1:7-9 King James Version (KJV), Psalm 66:18 King James Version (KJV),
7 They are terrible and dreadful: their judgment and their dignity shall proceed of themselves.

8 Their horses also are swifter than the leopards, and are more fierce than the evening wolves: and their horsemen shall spread themselves, and their horsemen shall come from far; they shall fly as the eagle that hasteth to eat.

9 They shall come all for violence: their faces shall sup up as the east wind, and they shall gather the captivity as the sand.
Psalm 66:18 King James Version (KJV),

16 Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul.

God has such pure eyes that He cannot behold sin, He protects His eyes from sin. David said if I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me. The Lord loves righteousness and hates wickedness, therefore, when a man decide to live in sin, he invokes the anger of God upon himself. But the man who loves and lives a righteous life is saturated with the presence and glory of God because the Lord loves righteousness.

The greatest misery that can happen to any man is to live a life without God. Hell is not hell because of the fire, but because of the absence of the presence and intimacy of God. Heaven is heaven, because we will be with Him forever. If there is anything to dread, that should be anything that will make God withdraw his presence from your life. The most awful moment for Jesus was when He took our sins on himself on the cross, because at that moment, God the Father could not look at Him for his eyes cannot behold sin that was why Jesus cried “My God, my God, why has thou forsaken me?” In order to get back quick to the Father, He gave up the ghost as he offered himself as a sacrificial Lamb. This shows how much He cannot tolerate sin. So, once sin came, Jesus preferred to die for he is not comfortable with sin. When he offered himself and atoned for our sins by his blood, He won the victory and was reconnected with the Father. Get rid of whatever will keep the loving eyes of the Father from you so you can enjoy the favor of his presence.
