Psalms 119:140 Thy word is very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it.
When will man stop trying to improve on the creation of God? In his attempts to adapt everything to his own pride, lust and greed, man has adulterated most of creation. Maybe that is why it is “groaning” (Romans 8:22).
Over-extensive mixing, breeding and grafting caused some roses to lose their smell. Ever increasingly capricious market demand makes farmers genetically modify vegetable, poultry and cattle so in their unnatural sizes and colors they lose their taste and nutritional values.
Pride and vanity causes people to modify their bodies in order to meet man’s idea of beauty. They also modify their spirit using mood-altering drugs instead of going to the Lord for solutions to their problems. And the saddest thing of all, is that after man has laid God’s creation on the altar of his proud vanity, he has also laid his faith on it. Faith is now so mixed with philosophy, secular psychology and superstitions that we can’t make the difference between the two anymore. Not only have we lost the pure originals in the physical, but we have also lost them in the spiritual.
Thank God, we still have the pure Rose of Sharon (Song Of Songs 2:1) to teach us the originals perspective of godly beauty and fragrance. We have the meekness of the Lamb of God (John 1:29) to bring us back to the true values of Heaven, and we have the assurance that all things will be restored when the incorruptible puts on the corruptible (1 Corinthians 15:53).
“Lord, wean me from the adulterated ways of man; deliver me from pride, vanity and lust which has so corrupted me and creation. Help me with all my heart to desire the purity of your Sprit and of your words. In Jesus Name!”
Rev 21:1-5 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. (2) And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. (3) And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. (4) And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. (5) And he that sat upon the throne said,
Behold, I make all things new!
