Seize the Moment – Day 953
Worship the One True God!
Good morning! This is Pastor Jerry Ingalls from New Castle First Baptist Church and today is Wednesday, October 26.
We live in an age that is fascinated by strange things, especially when they are spiritual in nature. If that includes you, you are going to love today’s Bible reading.
There are a few stories in the Old Testament that give us a glimpse into the inner workings of the divine council of God. We see this in Job 1:6 when the “sons of God” were present around the throne of God and Satan presented himself before God. We spot it again in Daniel 4:17 when the angelic watchers were tasked by the Sovereign God. We find it in 2 Chronicles 18:18-21 when the prophet Micaiah pulls back the veil:
I saw the Lord sitting on His throne, and all the host of heaven standing on His right and on His left. The Lord said, “Who will entice Ahab king of Israel to go up and fall at Ramoth-gilead?” And one said this while another said that. Then a spirit came forward and stood before the Lord and said, “I will entice him.” And the Lord said to him, “How?” He said, “I will go and be a deceiving spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.” Then He said, “You are to entice him and prevail also. Go and do so.”
Today’s passage allows us to see a very important distinction in the spiritual realm – there is a clearly established hierarchy with only one who is God! Psalm 89:5-7 declares this important supernatural reality:
The heavens will praise Your wonders, O Lord; Your faithfulness also in the assembly of the holy ones. For who in the skies is comparable to the Lord? Who among the sons of the mighty is like the Lord, a God greatly feared in the council of the holy ones, and awesome above all those who are around Him? (cf. Psalm 82:1)
God bless you!
