THE LIVING GOD IS CLOTHED

With the changing of seasons we like to be #clothed for the #climate #changes.  I remember as a child I read Hans Christian Anderson’s  ‘The Emperor’s New Clothes’.  What a #shocker !  However, that tale taught me about perceived reality.  Do clothes make a man?  What’s behind the mask, the microphone, the screen, the video, or the internet?   It was a child calling out that the Emperor had NO CLOTHES ON which exposed the TRUTH .  Do we want truth today?  “BLESS the LORD O,GOD thou art very GREAT; MY GOD IS CLOTHED WITH HONOR AND MAJESTY COVERED WITH LIGHT AS WITH A GARMENT THAT STRETCHES OUT THE HEAVEN LIKE A CURTAIN”  Psalms 104:1,2  Do you think Anderson was writing about a ruler who thought himself equal to GOD?  With what are we clothed?  11Corinthians 5 speaks to us “We groan earnestly desiring to be clothed for our house which is for heaven: but if so be that being clothed we are actually found naked…being burdened not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed with the mortal’s way of life that might swallow us up.”   We have many tales portrayed on screen such as in the ‘Wizard of Oz’ with a voice behind the curtain trying to rule others.  Sound familiar ?   Job said in chapter 29 “that God preserved me when His candle shined upon my head and when by His Light I walked through darkness …the nobles held their peace and their tongues…while GOD CLOTHED ME IN RIGHTEOUSNESS as men gave ear and kept silent at my counsel and …the light of GOD’S countenance they cast not down”  Truth comes from the Lord.  “The LORD has sworn TRUTH unto David; he will not turn from it…if your children will keep my covenant and my testimonies I shall teach them & bless..GOD WILL CLOTHE WITH SALVATION, but upon His ENEMIES WILL I CLOTHE WITH SHAME” Psalms 132
