What we need to do is not fall into the same sins others have fallen into.

Kindle Feature Spotlight

How do we do that? How do we keep God as a friend rather than an enemy? Firstly, we seek His face daily. As humans, we are quick to forget. Our familiarity with him often breeds contempt and abandonment. We need to guard against these natural inclinations by zealously and consciously seeking Him everyday. Secondly, we need to adopt a childlike faith and dependence on Him. Remember, God loves to interact with his children the way we love to interact with ours. This type of relationship builds an unbreakable intimacy. It brings to life Proverbs 3: This fear will keep us from straying; it will keep us from complacency, and from sinning.

Also the reverence of God will give us the knowledge and wisdom we need in living out our faith. We will be loved and protected by him as we fear him. King Solomon, the wisest person ever created, after a long discourse on the meaning of life, concluded by saying in Ecclesiastes This will keep you safe from Him!

When you do have an enemy, you can be sure he is not from God. To God be the Glory!! Olu Martins is an author and inspirational speaker.

Now it all seems to be coming to an end—and by command of the very same God who had made the promise in the first place!

The gods which men desire and design make sense to their blind reason and satisfy the desires of their fallen flesh. Not so the true God. He is not capricious, constantly changing His mind or His will. A few weeks ago the people of Hawaii were scared out of their wits when an alarm went out saying that a North Korean missile was headed for the islands. As we later learned, it was supposed to be a test, and so it was a false alarm.

When the Angel of the Lord halts the test and tells Abraham not to lay his hand on his son, it is then that Abraham is given a glimpse into what God is really doing, what God intends to do to fulfill this command Himself, when it will no longer be a test, but the real thing.

This God brings life from death. He puts the sinner to death, in order to raise a new creature to life. More than that, He submits to death in order to overcome death, defeat it, rob it of its power, rob it of its prey, and finally to destroy it. Do you realize what a miracle that was? That ram would know every square inch of his mountain, every bush and thicket.

He would never get stuck like that, and even if he did, his mighty horns would have saved him, breaking right through those twigs! Yet this ram did none of what he could have done. Sound like Someone else you know? This time there was no substitute to spare the son, because this Son is the Substitute, for Isaac, and for you and me and for every sinner who ever has lived or will ever live. I am your substitute. God the Holy Spirit treated Jesus as an enemy! They do not believe that their fate is stagnant, something to endure; God can intervene and rescue them. It is not necessary to get bogged down in Floysvik's doctoral exercise.

To get a quick, yet helpful, grasp of his thesis, one can read each of the four translated psalms that Floysvik examines, and the last two or three pages of each respective chapter that focus on the Psalms' problem, prayer, and appeal. Next, read chapter seven in its entirety and the book's conclusion. God's hesed [love] is an everlasting and inherent outflow of his essence, his wrath is temporary. A good investigation into the complaint and lament psalms, revealing their message of faith and trust in God. This book is an academic work and reads as such, but the person who takes the time to read and digest the material will find it highly profitable and gain a greater appreciation for these psalms.
