Many blessings for all my brothers and friends of @steemit especially the @steemchurch community led by @ Sirknight, today I am writing about it is time to look at the eternal and sublime more than any man for very excellent and just that it is. we must please God all the time and at all times because he is the one who has the control and supplies all needs according to his riches in glory. This message is based on the story of King Uzziah in 2 chronicles, chapter 26.
1 Then all the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and they made him king in the place of his father Amaziah.
2 Uzziah built Elot, and restored it to Judah after King Amaziah slept with his fathers.
3 Uzziah was sixteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Jecoliah, from Jerusalem.
4 And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father Amaziah had done.
5 And he persisted in seeking God in the days of Zechariah, understood in visions of God; and in these days when he sought Jehovah, he prospered him.
You imagine? It should not have been easy for Uzziah just being a youth, having to face a responsibility as great as is to govern a nation, but even so God was his guide at all times and helped him to have a reign of great success, his reign was extended , God helped him win every battle in front of his enemies, he used engineering knowledge to develop fortresses, towers, water wells and many more benefits for the people, so much so that his fame spread to many places and although at the end of his reign suffered a disease of leprosy because of a bad attitude of disobedience and haughtiness before God, the Bible remembers him for having been a great king who did Judah much good and pleased the heart of God.
Uzziah, it was really a great blessing for his nation, a nation that was in ruins, destroyed, with rumors of war, full of insecurity, dangers, God raises this young man, without any experience, when it seemed that everything was already lost, that there was no solution, to restore and make of her a strong nation, full of peace and security, only because Uzziah had set his sights on the eternal and sublime and was of a righteous heart.
The prophet Isaiah had the following revelation: Isaiah 6: 1 "In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a high and lofty throne, and his skirts filled the temple." Above him were seraphim; six wings, with two they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they flew, and one to the other cried out, saying: Holy, Holy, Holy, Jehovah of armies, the whole earth is full of his glory " A vision where the glory, the majesty and the power of God becomes evident while angelic beings adore him saying holy, holy, holy and the earth is full of his glory.
Many times we have looked at a leader, a boss, the president because he has been a righteous and just hearted person but this is not really what God likes, he wants our hearts and eyes to turn to he, before and after that wonderful and just person existed, he was, is and will be with you forever and ever. Never forget where God got you from.
God is sitting on a high and sublime throne, the throne on which he sits is eternal, there is no government, no law, no definite time to change it, there are no wars, no nations or power that make him stagger .
Venezuela, All Nations, that are submerged in a difficult situation, where until now you have only seen darkness, sadness, pain, injustice, situations that fill you with fear, anxiety, because you simply do not know what is about to happen, it is fair At this moment in which you must remember that the God of Israel, The Adonai is bigger than your problem, do not let anything or anyone steal the peace that God gives you.
The apostle Paul says in Colossians 3: 1-3 that "If you have risen with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your sights on things above, not on things on earth. Because you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. "It is time to give" a look to the eternal and sublime "
Look at Venezuela, Nations all, in the history of Peter (Matthew 14: 22-33) which tells that Peter was walking on the waters but "seeing the strong wind, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried out, saying: "Lord, save me!" Both the apostle Paul and this story of Peter reveal to us a determining principle in our Christian life: we must walk with our eyes always on God and never in the circumstances that they surround us, we must remember that our life is hidden in the hollow of your hand! Peter just had to look at Jesus and keep walking, but he let himself be carried away by what was happening around him. Even in God through his Word he reminds us again in Hebrews 12: 2 that we must have "our eyes on Jesus, the author and finisher of the faith". In whom and where do you have your eyes on? In the crisis? and on whom is your faith and trust placed? In the government or in the power of God?
Conclusions:
Venezuela, Nations It is all time to look up to the eternal and sublime and to stop looking at the circumstance that surrounds us on earth.
Venezuela, Nations All, it is time to leave behind hatred, resentment, vengeance, division and unite in a single brotherly love, the love of Christ, letting it be Christ, who will help us to heal our earth through his Holy Spirit who is our helper and our comforter.
Venezuela, Nations All, comes a glorious time for our land in which our Uzziah is just another instrument of our history, we know that it is not Uzziah who determines our history, who determines our history is called Jehovah God of Armies. The glory of Uzziah was regulated by a place, a time and a space, the glory of God fills the whole earth as the waters cover the sea. In the midst of this crisis of evil and of a world that needs to know about the Gospel, the only thing I can offer you is advice that is to accept Jesus Christ as your only and sufficient savior of your life, to dispose your heart to look up to the eternal and sublime and finally answer a question in heaven that only you can answer, "Then I heard the voice of the Lord, who said: Who will I send, and who will go for us? Isaiah 6: 1-8. Answer to God from the bottom of your heart if you are willing to be brave, prove with your life that God is still the King. The Eternal continue blessing you.
