20/20 Vision

Do you like that game where the duck goes by and you squirt it with a rifle that shoots water?
If you get it just right you knock it over if your really good you get a prize, a trinket a memento of the day of fun.
Don't be that duck.
The demons have allot of fun, convincing us that we can do allot. That we are pretty smart.
I imagine the conversation with Eve went something like this:
"You can be like, God!
you can know stuff good and evil, that would be so helpful when you talk with God in the cool of the day, already isn't that the best part of the day?
Think how pleased He would be if you knew, like Him, the difference between good and evil.
You would be like God, wouldn't that make Him happy.
After all He said He would keep no good thing from You.
Look at the pretty tree, isn't it lovely, doesn't is look good,girl don't you feel hungry? Go ahead of course He wants you to have it, you know He would never want you hungry.
We don't know the exact conversation but it isn't that hard to imagine that it could have gone along those lines. Even today the Enemy deceives people into thinking good is evil and evil is good.
That it's up to us to take things into our own hands in order to please God.

That is not my point though.
My point is how easy we are distracted from what is good, Jesus said, that He is good. He is good...He is good. do you get that Jesus is good.

The only good that exists is Jesus.

I don't want to seem like a broken record but it is so difficult for us to make the mental leap.
That Jesus is our Provision, He is our righteousness, He is good.
A clay mind stumbles at the mystery that Jesus is.

We are a mom,or a wife or a working woman on and on. Because
we take our identity in what we do.
We don't get that He is every thing that is good. Good does not exist with out Him.

Furthermore, He is the light of the world.
I believe it took Him three hours of death to secure eternal salvation for us. (I would not argue this point)
The earth experienced three hours of darkness, why?,because Jesus is the light of the world!
Death is not as some would believe the end of our existence, again why, because if Jesus had stopped existing the world and all therein would not exist. He created all things and in Him all things exist.

Don't get tricked by desiring the knowledge of the tree of good and evil.
realize that Jesus is the good you seek
all satisfaction all contentment is found in Jesus

There fore you don't have to be a sitting duck.
Jesus conquered the enemy.
I watch my dear husband,in a job that requires more and more year by year.
More is required but less time is given to do it.
Like Pharaoh of old required more bricks and less material. I see the enemy laughing at how difficult the circumstances have become but as long as the job is seen as our provision my dear husband is a shooting duck, to the enemy.
Once Jesus is seen (declared) as Provider, than that can change.
So I am praying for Him, to let go( hard as it may seem).
My dear husband is the sole provider for our family.
I don't see it that way though. As you might guess I see Jesus as the provider for this family.
Which to my son is madness. He thinks as any rational person would that I should go out this instant and get a job!

My job as I "see" it is to look to my provider, keep my eyes on Jesus.
I am not saying I won't get a job, Iam just saying that my work is to focus on Jesus. Not to franticly run to and fro to provide. God is Provider. I need to rest in Sabath rest to see the new thing He is doing look to my Prosperity.
