Fool's Gold

Posted in Devotional
A friend just sent me an email with a link to theinterviewwithgod.com and it made me so sad.  Someone has taken the time to put together these beautiful pictures of God's creation and some pretty (though repetitive) music and then they script a dream they had that they interviewed God.  In this interview they put the words that they believe God would say to answer their questions.  The reason this is so sad is because they are not the Words that God has already said!  God has already spoken through the prophets and the apostles!  God has given us His beautiful words which tell us of mercy from our deserved punishment, grace to have life more abundant, fruits of the Spirit, and so many more promises that we could ever completely appreciate with our finite minds! 
Isaiah 55:9
"For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are My ways higher than your ways,
And My thoughts than your thoughts.
NKJV
How could we pretend to know what God might say if we asked Him a question? The only way we would know is if God has already said it in His Word!  How it must grieve God when His Words are not sufficient for our ticklish ears and we must write what we would say if we were God!  At least the link is appropriately written with a little "g" for god.  May God have mercy on all of us so that we can say:
11 Your word I have treasured in my heart,
That I may not sin against You.
12 Blessed are You, O LORD;
 Teach me Your statutes.
13 With my lips I have told of
All the ordinances of Your mouth
.
14 I have rejoiced in the way of Your testimonies,
 As much as in all riches.
15 I will meditate on Your precepts
And regard Your ways.
16 I shall delight in Your statutes;
I shall not forget Your word.
Psalm 119:11-16     NASU

May the Lord forgive me when I have falsely represented His word!  Our words are like fool's gold, but God's Word has "given me life." Psalm 119:50

Jul. 25, 2006 - Transcription

Posted by tiredmom
Transcription is where you take a recording either audio or video and type what the speakers are saying word for word. I didn't have any special training, but I did have a friend who does this and she loaned me equipment and gave me work. At first I figure I was making about $2 an hour because I wasn't the fastest typist! You can take classes at many adult learning programs or online. Mostly you'll see them advertised for medical transcription. I don't do medical--mostly business, TV, etc.

I completely agree with your insight. When I read or hear things like that, my heart feels so heavy. We can find any hope or encouragement we need from God's word. That is why He gave it to us!

Thank you for your comment (all 5 of them ;) ). We live about 30 minutes from Lake Wales. I love it up where you are, it is beautiful! We had a contract on some land in Live Oak last year, but then our contract fell through, which ended up being a blessing. We found out later that we didn't want to go there after all! If we leave this area, which we hope to do, we will head to either Kentucky, Indiana, or Oklahoma, Lord willing. Honestly, we are waiting to see where the Lord leads us, we may end up in Montana! We are in prayer about it, and plan on taking a trip in October to see what appeals to us the most. Talk to you soon~

I seek to glorify God and enjoy Him forever! I seek to be a loving, godly wife. I also seek to win the hearts of my children to God. I am thankful for homeschooling and I pray that is never taken away in America!
