Good Evening!
What's going on potnas! Thanksgiving is coming with a quickness! Gonna be tight. This brutha is heading back to Florida to see da fam and da friends. It's been a while fa real! Aight, on to... da Word!
checkit:
...he heard the Lord's voice: 'I am the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.' Moses trembled with fear and did not dare to look.
Acts 7:31,32
Yooooo, how about that? Imagine, you roll up to an interesting phenomenon that, by all logic, should not be happening (in this case, Moses rollin' up to a burnin' bush that wasn't burning...). And suddenly you hear a voice resonating with such authority and depth, and it says, "I am the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob." This is HUGE! The apostle Stephen is before the Sanhedrin recounting this bit of history. Stephen was chosen to replace Judas, since Judas had died. Oh, and Stephen was da man!
N e who, Abraham is the father of the whole Israelite nation. Yo, Abraham is also the father of Ishmael whom nation of Islam traces some of its roots. Basically Abraham was it. Pops and Abraham were mad tight. Isaac, Abraham's son, was a promise and a miracle. Abraham and is wife Sarah had Isaac at an age where the tools (if you know what I mean) should have been way beyond the years of child creating functionality. Pops and Isaac also rolled tight. And then there was Jacob. Pops and Jacob were made tight too! From that point on, Pops introduced Himself a lot as the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - three significant and powerful figures in Israel's history, respected to the utmost.
Now why do I belabor this point? Cuz it's like this, see, we EASILY fall into our comfortable ways and thoughts. And yeah, we know God is there and is awesome. But we easily fail to realize the immensity of the being that is GOD... present with us at every moment! When an Israelite was met with, "I am the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob" yoooo you better believe realization set in with a quickness! Imagine any leader who has a commanding yet awesome presence, one whom you admire or respect and would never think you'd ever get to meet face to face. And then suddenly, boom, you are in his/her very company. That feeling can't be described. Now if that's Pops.... yooooo, no comparison! And I bet you we would do a lot of things differently if that realization were constant.
So let's make it constant and stop playin' games and kidding ourselves! Let's live as if we are in the constant presence of Pops, rollin' tight with the creator of all things. Cuz potnas, da fact is, Homeboy is ever-present. Let's be real and true all the time, not just sometimes.
