TLA's, FLA's, Abbv's and and and...

We live in a world today that thrives on changing things. Australians are renowned for nick names. We are also renowned for using terms opposite to what is, to over exaggerate and be sarcastic. We are not the only ones, people of every nation have the same tendency, maybe to different extent, but we still can. We are part of a society or generation that is thriving on using TLA's, FLA's and Abbv's and proxy's. Which tends to drive me nutts. So you know TLA's are Three letter acronyms, using the first letter of words to describe it. FLA's are four or five letter acronyms. If you google the word 'acronym' there comes a list... Acronym generator; list; maker; dictionary; definition; search; solver; and also includes acronyms Australia. Abbv's are abbreviations. Too many things these days get abbreviated. This is not necessarily a problem in itself, however it becomes one when the meanings are abbreviated along with the word. And proxy's are words used in place of another, not changing the meaning to those that 'know' exactly what your talking about.

As I showered thismorning this came to me along with the following....

It does not matter how you look at it GOD is NOT a TLA for anything you want to make Him. He is who He is and nothing and no one can nor will change that.

LORD, JESUS and God are not abbreviations nor proxy's for every other cuss word you dont really want to be heard speaking. They are terms of reverrance or the name of the Creator, owner, judge and redeemer of all.

Christian is not a proxy term for hiding behind every manner of other occupation, habit, sin and behaviour or speach you should like to excuse or elevate. It is not something that describes us but is to be that which defines us.

Hope is not an abbreviation of hopeless. We all have hope through Jesus.

Sin is not an acronym nor an abbreviation for anything. It is what we do when we break any one of the ten commandments, or the law of God.

Love is not a proxy for any manner of behaviour, attitude or verbage substituted for belittling, abusing, neglecting, worshipping, idolising, nor sinning with anyone at all. Love is a gift, granted to us by God, holy, perfect, honourable, bringing forth righteousness, peace, joy and so much more. We love when we keep God's commandments.

Life is not an acronym, abbreviation nor a proxy for anything. It is what it is, a gift from God, to be cherished, honoured and respected. Personal choice doesnt change that.

Obey is not an acronym, neither a proxy. It doesnt grant to any power nor position above God. It is something God granted us that we may walk in unity and covenant with HIM. It is a choice, and if we are wise we will choose to obey Him, just as obeying those in positions of authority can be wise in the world.

There are a billion things I could add, but wont. I guess you get my point. The word of God, the ways of God, the will of God, the determination of God is unchanging. Whether we change it or not, is irrelevant with HIM. If our understanding, beliefs, manner, actions, words, teaching and so on is not on target, it changes nothing about God. Today is the day to search and judge ourselves.

I would rather fall on the rock, which is the God of my salvation, to be broken and humbled, healed and raised up, than to have the rock fall on me unmerciless and eternal.
