A Lot to learn in 2016 part 2 - Decisions

           Lot looked around and saw that the whole plain of the Jordan toward Zoar was well watered, like the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt. (This was before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.) 11 So Lot chose for himself the whole plain of the Jordan and set out toward the east. The two men parted company: 12 Abram lived in the land of Canaan, while Lot lived among the cities of the plain and pitched his tents near Sodom. 13 Now the people of Sodom were wicked and were sinning greatly against the Lord. Genesis 13:10-13
 
        Lot had a problem.  He did not have his own walk with the Lord. Abraham interacted with God - both hearing and speaking to Him - and Lot just followed Abraham.  There is a problem with this kind of living.  Eventually you will have to walk on your own.  What will happen then?  How will you know, follow, and experience an interactive relationship with God?  What will counteract your heart - which according to Scripture is deceitful and wicked.  This was Lot’s problem - and as we will see in this part of, “A Lot to Learn in 2016,” it does not go well for those who follow in Lot’s steps.


          Abraham and his nephew Lot were both in the business of raising livestock.  When you prosper in this endeavor you will eventually have problems - and they did.  Their herdsmen began go quarrel over pasture land.  Rather than have a growing enmity between their servants, Abraham proposed that they separate from each other so that enough pasture land would be available for their herds.  This was the moment where Lot would have to make his own decisions - and the first one is indicative of a man who does not know how to follow God himself - but who relies on other people to hear God for him.  

          Abram offers him any of the land that was before them.  Lot got first choice.  What he chose was the land near Sodom and Gomorrah. He chooses a place where the people were wicked and sinning greatly against the Lord. He chose on the basis of what "he" saw.  Scripture says that he looked and saw that this land was “like the land of Egypt” and therefore he chose it.  In Scripture, Egypt is not considered a good place to be.  In addition to this - we also learn from the passage that the place Lot chooses is “near” Sodom.  The problem here is that we also learn that the men of Sodom were considered “wicked exceedingly and sinners against Jehovah.”  Lot’s first choice was to live by what his eyes saw and what his selfish desires wanted.  He didn’t consider that by doing this he was moving closer and closer to sin.  He did not consider that he would be taking his family into a place where there would no longer be Abraham’s godly influence - but the influence of exceedingly wicked sinners.  

          Lot moved his tents as far as Sodom.  The phrase used here in Hebrew means he moved “near” Sodom.  There was enough in Lot to know he shouldn’t go into Sodom - so he did the next best thing - he moved near it.  Here is a lesson we need to learn from Lot.  What you move toward in your life - is likely what you are going to become.  Having followed a godly man (Abraham) Lot now was going to have as his strongest influence, ungodly, exceedingly wicked men.  If Lot had his own relationship with God he may have done this to influence those men - but we know that what he saw was their prosperity - and the “good life” and place they lived.  There is going to be more - much more to this in our next installment.  But . . . before we go there let’s consider something in our journey together.  There is a “Lot” to learn even at this point.

          What drives your decisions in life?  If our decisions are made with what we see with our eyes as our primary information - we will wind up in a mess.  If we are seeking “the good life” as defined by the world around us - we will once again wind up in a mess.  If we joyfully grab first choice in things (and don’t consider others better than ourselves - Philippians 2:1-3) and want first place - we will surely wind up in a mess.  Lot’s decisions were driven by the (1) Lust of his eyes; (2) the lust of his flesh; and (3) the boastful pride of life.  By the way, these three things are all defined as sin and worldliness in 1 John 2:15-17.  Lot made a choice that increased the worldliness in his life - and then deceived himself by thinking that only by moving “near” sin he would be fine.  These kind of choices don’t bring blessing - except in the immediate gratification of our fleshly lusts.  The long-term results of these kind of decisions - are disastrous in our lives.  Let me state this positively though - so you will have something to do on when making decisions.  

          First - make decisions by wisdom, which is defined as seeing life from God’s perspective.  We look at things through His Word, His Spirit, and the wisdom that comes from spiritual sight.  Don’t just seek an answer - seek Him and ask Him to give you His eternal perspective on your choices.  Second - make decisions in light of long-term (honestly - eternal) joy and delight.  Ask yourself, what is going to last?  What is going to be an eternal blessing?  What will benefit me spiritually - so that I can take it with me when I leave this world?  Lastly, make decisions that move away from sin - not toward it.  Consider the sins of your past - and the sins God wants to deliver you from in life.  Don’t move toward those things - and especially don’t think you can get nearer to them without them influencing you.  If God wants you to minister to someone or minister somewhere that is one thing - because that doesn’t move you closer to sin - it moves you closer to sinners - but only for God’s purposes of leading them to Christ and influencing them for godliness and the gospel.  A parallel question to this might be, “Am I moving toward influencing others - or being influenced by them?”  You can move toward sinners or sinful situations if the first is true - your seeking TO influence them.  But if you are going to BE INFLUENCED - you need to move toward godliness and be sure that their influence brings you closer to God.  

​          May God help us to make good, godly decisions.  May we be wise and seek and desire His perspective in all things.  May we be seeking eternal benefit in life rather than a quick fix high.  And may we truly learn from Lot in this situation (as well as in any we face this year) that there are much better ways of decision making than the ones he chose.

Joy in Weakness, part 3 - To Whom are you Measuring Yourself?

8/18/2015

           Weakness is not something most people want in their lives.  But that is because they think themselves strong - or at least want to think that way.  Our problem with understanding the blessing of embracing weakness has to do with perspective.  God's Word tells us that when we examine ourselves amongst ourselves and measure ourselves against one another, we deceive ourselves as to the truth about ourselves.  In that context and with that perspective weakness is relative to who you are versus whoever it is to whom you compare yourself.  Men and women have all kinds of contests by which they measure their own comparative weakness against each other to ascertain who is the strongest.  But in the end - it is only comparing weakness against weakness.  We may walk away with a victory - even a trophy or medal - but it only tells us that we are stronger than another human being. 

           Man has fancied himself strong for centuries.  Early on man thought earth to be the center of all things - only to learn as man caught up to the knowledge of God - that we are only a tiny little insignificant ball of dirt on the outskirts of our own galaxy.  When compared with other stars in our galaxy, we come to learn that even our mighty sun is pretty much a fairly small star that pales into insignificance compared to others around us.  If one started from the center of the universe doing a random search for earth - it would take millions of centuries to randomly come to our tiny blue orb on the outer edges of the Milky Way. 

          Job understood true strength - as he moved from a position of having everything to one of losing everything.  He lived in moments of plenty - of great health - and of a life of relative ease and comfort prior to one of the most breathtaking devastations in all of Scripture.  He grasped, as few others ever have, just how precarious our supposed strength is.  It was in such a moment that he turned to God and grasped "real strength."  Read his own words as he contemplated standing before God and being right with Him. 

" . . . how can a man be in the right before God?  If one wished to dispute with Him, He could not answer Him once in a thousand times.  Wise in heart and mighty in strength, Who has defied Him without harm?  It is God who removes the mountains, they know not how, When He overturns them in His anger; Who shakes the earth out of its place, and its pillars tremble; Who commands the sun not to shine, and sets a seal upon the stars; Who alone stretches out the heavens and tramples down the waves of the sea; Who makes the Bear, Orion and the Pleiades, and the chambers of the south; Who does great things, unfathomable, and wondrous works without number.  Were He to pass by me, I would not see Him; Were He to move past me, I would not perceive Him.  Were He to snatch away, who could restrain Him? Who could say to Him, ‘What are You doing?'  God will not turn back His anger; Beneath Him crouch the helpers of Rahab.  How then can I answer Him and choose my words before Him?  For though I were right, I could not answer; I would have to implore the mercy of my Judge."  Job 9:2-15

          According to what Job had learned there are some things that tell us of God's absolute power and strength.  These things also helped Job to grasp just how weak he truly was - and how He needed to cry out for God's mercy for true strength to be given to him. 

           First - no man can dispute with God and prove Him wrong.  If we tried, we would be unable to answer God even 1 in a 1000 times.  God is the wise one - God is the mighty one - and for us to defy Him and debate with Him is only to harm ourselves.  We do not have any wisdom that we can claim on our own.  If we have any wisdom - it is because we have learned it from God by His mercy.

          Second, no one can "impress" God with what they can do.  All we have to do is look at Job's description of God's resume and we are rendered speechless.  He removes mountains and shakes the earth so that the very pillars of the earth tremble.  He can command our sun not to shine.  He is the One who stretches out the heavens - so that our expanding universe seems to grow ever larger in terms that dwarf our understanding.  In the end Job puts it like this, "Who does great things, unfathomable, and wondrous works without number."  For us to boast of our meager achievements (even if they dwarf those of the rest of humanity) is laughable in the sight of the strength and power and wisdom of Almighty God.

          Third, we cannot even perceive God unless He graciously allows it by revealing Himself to us.  God is Spirit and is beyond us and our understanding.  We would not even have a clue as to His existence or presence except that He chooses to manifest Himself in ways that our little pea-sized brains can understand.  Our own strength and ability fall infinitely short of "getting" God. 

           Fourth, we can do nothing to deliver ourselves from His hand or ultimate purposes.  Listen to these terrifying words Job says about God's power over us, "Were He to snatch away, who could restrain Him? Who could say to Him, ‘What are You doing?"  God's power is absolute.  If God so chooses to snatch us away we can do nothing to stop it.  Even a protest on our part would mean nothing.  Though men question His works and purposes - there really is no one who can call God to account to where God has to given some sort of answer.  Within this statement is the doctrine of God's ultimate goodness and perfection.  He cannot do wrong - and whatever it is that He wills - it is always what is right.  Thus in the moment we decide to question Him and call Him to account - we are already wrong. 

          Finally, we can do nothing to alter God's righteous judgment.  Here is a terrifying reality.  God will judge and destroy the wicked.  There is absolutely nothing they can do to render God's judgment null and void.  I see fools wearing shirts and making statements that, "Only God can judge me."  This is not meant to be a statement honoring God - for those who parade such things do so while living lifestyles that mock His Word and the righteousness He reveals in it.  But what they do not know is that God has already judged sin.  Thanks be to His graciousness that ultimately He has done this at the cross - and granted forgiveness to those who respond to the gospel with repentance and faith.  In the end Job says that his only play - is to implore the mercy of his Judge. 

          So - how strong are we feeling now?  How apt are we to tout our own abilities in light of God's revelation of Himself to Job - who went from everything to nothing within moments?  The truth is we ARE weak - maybe not in comparison with others around us - but when we stand in the light of God's revelation of Who He is.  Wisdom, dearest saints of God, is turning to God regularly for mercy.  Wisdom, precious ones, is to regularly remember and embrace humility in His glorious, infinite presence.  Wisdom is to bow before Him - lay ourselves at His feet - and rejoice in His most amazing condescension to us in the gospel of Jesus Christ.  For it is only in such moments that we truly "get it" and are granted grace to move from weakness to strength by His mercies alone. 

Be strong in Him and in the power of His Spirit!
