Allow me to share with you a BiteByte of truth the Holy Spirit share with me. “The silver-haired head in our society many commonly call gray is meant to speak of a crown of glory i.e. meant by the Creator as a sign of honor.
The important 2nd clause is to say specifically this truth applied to the scenario where it found combined with a life lived in the path of righteous living. it is found in the way of righteousness.
The Creator tells us in Holy Scripture that he cares how a society treats and reverences or fails to reverence it’s more elderly members.
45 And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?
Now Jesus knew, there had been a touch, not like the others touching him but this one was a touch …
46 And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me.
48 And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace.
Aha, unlike the others, this one was a touch, with faith!
Elisha and the Widow’s Oil. Â This story teaches us that if we truly hear God’s directions accurately and obey them He will provide our needs even supernaturally and miraculously if need be.Â
2Ki 4:1 Â Now there cried a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets unto Elisha, saying, Thy servant my husband is dead; and thou knowest that thy servant did fear the LORD: and the creditor is come to take unto him my two sons to be bondmen.
2Ki 4:2 Â And Elisha said unto her, What shall I do for thee? tell me, what hast thou in the house? And she said, Thine handmaid hath not any thing in the house, save a pot of oil.
2Ki 4:3 Â Then he said, Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbours, even empty vessels; borrow not a few.
2Ki 4:4 Â And when thou art come in, thou shalt shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and shalt pour out into all those vessels, and thou shalt set aside that which is full.
2Ki 4:5 Â So she went from him, and shut the door upon her and upon her sons, who brought the vessels to her; and she poured out.
2Ki 4:6 Â And it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said unto her son, Bring me yet a vessel. And he said unto her, There is not a vessel more. And the oil stayed.
2Ki 4:7 Â Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, Go, sell the oil, and pay thy debt, and live thou and thy children of the rest.
Burnt offerings carried aromas as they were sacrificed.
Those that spread the knowledge of Christ are as an aroma before the very Creator of the sense of smell. Â Selah
But thanks be to God!
For in union with Christ we are always led by God as prisoners in Christ’s victory procession.
God uses us to make the knowledge about Christ spread everywhere like a sweet fragrance.
For we are like a sweet-smelling incense offered by Christ to God, which spreads among those who are being saved and those who are being lost.
For those who are being lost, it is a deadly stench that kills; but for those who are being saved, it is a fragrance that brings life. Who, then, is capable of such a task?
2 Samuel 5:20Â is a great scripture for meditation and memorization:
 And David came to Baalperazim, and David smote them there, and said, The Lord hath broken forth upon mine enemies before me, as the breach of waters. Therefore he called the name of that place Baalperazim.
2 Samuel 5:18-25Â (KJV)
18Â The Philistines also came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.
19Â And David enquired of the Lord, saying, Shall I go up to the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into mine hand? And the Lord said unto David, Go up: for I will doubtless deliver the Philistines into thine hand.
20Â And David came to Baalperazim, and David smote them there, and said, TheLord hath broken forth upon mine enemies before me, as the breach of waters. Therefore he called the name of that place Baalperazim.
21Â And there they left their images, and David and his men burned them.
22Â And the Philistines came up yet again, and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.
23Â And when David enquired of the Lord, he said, Thou shalt not go up; but fetch a compass behind them, and come upon them over against the mulberry trees.
24Â And let it be, when thou hearest the sound of a going in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then thou shalt bestir thyself: for then shall the Lord go out before thee, to smite the host of the Philistines.
25Â And David did so, as the Lord had commanded him; and smote the Philistines from Geba until thou come to Gazer.
Consider this truth: Science itself is God’s creation.
All that we discover in “nature” is designed,
planned, orchestrated with the purpose and intent of it’s designer.
No less than the founders of the United States understood this well and make it known that they did.
Thomas Paine: “ It has been the error of the schools to teach astronomy, and all the other sciences, and subjects of natural philosophy, as accomplishments only; whereas they should be taught theologically, or with reference to the Being who is the author of them: for all the principles of science are of divine origin.
Man cannot make, or invent, or contrive principles: he can only discover them; and he ought to look through the discovery to the Author.”
“ The evil that has resulted from the error of the schools, in teaching natural philosophy as an accomplishment only, has been that of generating in the pupils a species of atheism.
Instead of looking through the works of creation to the Creator himself, they stop short, and employ the knowledge they acquire to create doubts of his existence.
They labour with studied ingenuity to ascribe every thing they behold to innate properties of matter, and jump over all the rest by saying, that matter is eternal.”
