Heavenly Host With The Most Mosts

No need for competition

Heavenly Host With The Most Mosts

The crystallized water was floating onto 255, matching the color of the Ford not far ahead. Wait, it couldn’t be...could it? Is that who I think it is? Accelerating slightly above the recommended speed, I closed the gap. I created a melody with my horn after my suspicions were confirmed. Back to the right lane. Two minutes later, I became visible in their rear view mirror again. Unacceptable. I couldn’t let them beat me to church! An increased velocity of my vehicle corrected the situation. All was well.

Our love of competition is a funny phenomenon. We seek to be the fastest, strongest, smartest, etc. The truth is competition doesn’t exist. Sure, it’s easy to compare humans and determine who is better skilled in a particular area. But when God enters the picture, He is the Heavenly Host with the most mosts.

He is the highest Being, the Creator of the universe. He deserves the most praise for His wonderful works. Yet, He is the most humble. The Author of Life did not consider equality with Himself when He left His throne to enter the world as an infant and live in a no-name town. This journey concluded in the most humiliating form of torture and death.

The love of the Alpha and Omega knows no limits. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither height nor depth, neither the present nor the future, nothing is powerful enough to add or subtract from His love. His love is omnipotent, most powerful and most loving.

The I Am is more real than we can fathom. He has more dimensions to His character (the Trinity). He has no past or future. Being timeless, He simply exists. He is not I Was or I Will Be. The I Am. We change over time. Who we truly are is yet to be fully realized. Not so with the Father of the heavenly lights who does not change like shifting shadows.

Abba possesses the highest level of compassion. The perfect parent, His heart burns with the same pain that causes us to shed tears. Because He chooses to share the pain of every chipped and shattered heart, He has felt more pain than any of us. He aches to love us in spite of this cost; He is the most vulnerable.

The Bread of Life is the most blessed. Blessing flows from a life of walking with God. His infinite wisdom demonstrates how to reap the most benefits out of any situation. Joy and peace flow from living according to His design, which He does perfectly. He is the most godly.

The King of Glory. Lord of Lords. Lamb of God. Mighty One. my Refuge. my Redeemer. my Salvation and Rock. Jehovah. Yahweh. Great Physician. Prince of Peace. Righteous One. my Daddy. God Most High.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
