Have You Seen This Man? Part [5] 01/17/2026 (Evening thought)

John 6:32 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.

It is good for God-ordained leaders to live honorably and nobly in the sight of those persons under their jurisdiction but it’s dangerous to let your confidence and trust shift from The Eternal to the mortal. Whenever this is the case, your faithfulness will be tethered to his faithfulness, or conversely, if the one in question turns out to be wicked, your faith could become influenced and tainted by his wickedness.

For instance, if of late you find yourself craving for revenge, it means that your focus is shifting from God to man, and in doing so, we could become just like the man in question. The craving for revenge is not from God whether it occurs in the man you are fixated on, or in us as Christians.

Judges 2:18 And when the Lord raised them up judges, then the Lord was with the judge, and delivered them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge: for it repented the Lord because of their groanings by reason of them that oppressed them and vexed them. 19 And it came to pass, when the judge was dead, that they returned and corrupted themselves more than their fathers, in following other gods to serve them, and to bow down unto them; they ceased not from their own doings, nor from their stubborn way.

John 5: 45 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuses you, even Moses, in whom ye trust.

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

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!
