The scriptures offer us some insightful revelations about our God, and His regular ventures, in the realm of mortal men.
Men and women, through different ways, have sought to establish relationships with this unique Being – and sort of, lure Him into a cordial, somewhat mutually beneficial relationship.
Of course, you wouldn’t blame those who try.
Afterall, it is written of HIM,
” …That He is a rewarder of all who diligently seek Him.”

The scriptures offer us some insightful revelations about our God, and His regular ventures, in the realm of mortal men.
Men and women, through different ways, have sought to establish relationships with this unique Being – and sort of, lure Him into a cordial, somewhat mutually beneficial relationship.
Of course, you wouldn’t blame those who try.
Afterall, it is written of HIM,
” …That He is a rewarder of all who diligently seek Him.”
(Hebrews 11:6b)
This, then drives a mind-boggler!
How does the Owner of the Heavens and the Earth, choose His vessels amongst men?
Is there a ‘go-to’ plot, that can be implemented to ‘con’ – or persuade this sovereign Being into selecting the plotter, out of a wide pick?
Several people, over the course of human history, have tried to force their ways into His love.
Most, not only failed; but also ended up succumbing to the wiles and temptations of that “other guy” who lurks in the dark regions of the Earth.
One thing is clear.
HE, who sits on the Throne of Sapphire – and rules over all the Kingdoms in the Heavens and on Earth; does not choose based on the yardsticks of men.
If anything, evidences abound to show that the Living God, mostly goes with choices, that are at vast contrast with those men would likely stand with.
He seems to take joy in rocking our boats;
Shaming the speculations of men;
And bringing to rubbish, what our smartest consider as the best available choice.
It is written of HIM:
“Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:
But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise;
and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:
That no flesh should glory in his presence.”
(1 Corinthians 1:25-29)
In case you missed the point;
If you want to be singled-out for use by the Living God; you had better be taking your spot – far away from the crowd.
Lonely standing….
As “The Outsider!”
