Have You Seen This Man? Part [4] 01/16/2026 (Morning thought)

Psalms 78:17 And they sinned yet more against him by provoking the most High in the wilderness. 22 Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in his salvation.

It is important for us to understand why this takes place. Let’s say you begin to trust in man, whenever a bigger man comes along, the previous man would pale in comparison, because he is not of the same stature or power as your former man. Thus, your trust and confidence would be jumping from man to man, depending on whether or not he is better, bigger, more intelligent, or richer than the former man in whom you trusted.

But with every man you trust in you will only have a different set of problems arising, for man does not have the answer to our problems. Even if the man is a good man, the mere fact that a person’s tendency is to take their eyes off of Christ, and trust in that good man, will put that person’s mind in a mode of thought that will usually produce very adverse results.

Moses was a good man, but when an emergency or difficulty arose, the people would become anxious, and frustrated because of his finite limitations, for in and of himself, there’s only so much he could do. Thus, you will find them demanding that Moses give them bread and water, and if he is not forthcoming, they were ready to stone him. Jesus had to correct their erroneous perspectives when He walked this earth, for in one of His discourses with them they claimed that Moses gave them manna to eat.

John 6: 30 They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work? 31 Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.

May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!

Have You Seen This Man? Part [3] 01/16/2026 (Evening thought)

Psalms 78:2 I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old: 7 That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments.

In our day the same mistake is being repeated daily as persons become fixated on man, instead of being focused on God, and what His word has declared will surely come to pass. As a result, many are asking the same question that was asked in the days of Goliath: Have you seen this man? In almost everything that transpires today, it is all about the man. But, you will never hear on the news that it is Daniel chapter 12, or Matthew 24, or Revelation 12 to 14 unfolding.

And because of this, the God of heaven is being left entirely out of the picture, as if He has lost control of the midnight train that’s apparently going off the rails. It’s never about prophecy being fulfilled, instead, it’s all about the man and as folks become all consumed with what man can do, what God can, and will do is lost in the mix, as God becomes smaller and smaller in their minds, until some can go so far as to believe that The Lord is not able to stop, or intervene in the affairs of men.

Whenever the saints of God begin to look to a mere man for answers and solutions, or when they begin to trust in man, the power of God usually begins to shrink gradually in their minds, and if the situation is not addressed and corrected it can cause their faith to become crystalized.

Psalms 78:10 They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in his law; 11 And forgot his works, and his wonders that he had shewed them. 12 Marvelous things did he in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.

May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
