The Imagination

The imagination is a wonderful gift of God that can give you images before you create something, but if it is allowed, it will carry you into shameful sin. The Book of Genesis tells us that the reason God destroyed the entire human race, except for eight people, was that "the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth."( Genesis 8:21) One of the things that God hates is "a heart that devises wicked imaginations."
(Proverbs 6;18)When God pointed Ezekiel to the sin of Israel, He said, "Son of man, have you seen what the ancients of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in the chambers of his imagery?"(Ezekiel 8:12) The key to a good imagination is to line the walls of the mind with the fear of God, and then to use that gift of God for the extension of His Kingdom and for the glory of His name. There goes another minute. Gone forever. Go share your faith while you still have time.
