Who hath given understanding to the heart

Will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or abide by thy crib? Canst thou bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow? or will he harrow the valleys after thee? Wilt thou trust him, because his strength is great? or wilt thou leave thy labour to him? Wilt thou believe him, that he will bring home thy seed, and gather it into thy barn? (Job 39:9-12)
     Of all the creatures GOD has given us and declares His power over, this is the most confusing to many, for their first thought is of a mythical one-horned horse. Where the idea of a horse has come from is another discussion, but the reality is that the unicorn is simply a rhinoceros, a creature that Job would have been vaguely familiar with. Other scriptures also describe his great power and even the two horned variety GOD describes has unequal horns, just as we know that the rhinoceros has. GOD challenged Job in his understanding, for Job couldn't even tame most of the animals listed, and definitely hadn't created any of them, nor provided for them as they lived in the wild. The rhinoceros was and is the most ferocious and unpredictable of these creatures, and yet GOD is much more powerful.

     His character does not change, and His judgments are true and righteous altogether. The same GOD who created all things, and sustains them through His power, is the same GOD who calls people to acknowledge their sin, repent and return to Him, and receive Him by faith in Him and His finished and perfect work on the Cross of Calvary that they might be born again. The first time we are born into sin, and separated from GOD'S righteousness and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord. We are as wild, sinful, broken, and unrighteous as the rhinoceros is powerful and uncontrollable. Without the restraining influence of the Spirit of GOD and His Church, the people of GOD, this world would be worse that it is, and one day will be.

     GOD calls His people to holy and righteous living, not self-righteous or self-willed, but serving GOD and living in and through Him the life we were meant to live. He has called His children to serve Him while serving others, ministering to those who are hurting and in need, with the Word of righteousness and reconciliation, rightly divided and fitly spoken, that they may see Christ in us, the hope of Glory. GOD has commanded His Church to love one another, with unfeigned love for the brethren, and to disciple one another in His Word until we are complete and grown into the full measure of Him who is our life. GOD has commissioned His saints to the work of the ministry, to take the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and as we go, in the power of the Holy Spirit, where He sends us, to proclaim the Good News of forgiveness through repentance and reconciliation with the Father through faith in His Son, that those who believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Messiah of GOD might have life in His Name.

     For GOD is not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance and the knowledge of the Truth. Jesus loves you and wants to establish a covenant relationship with you that is real and personal. Surrender to Him on His terms and He will give you a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting. GOD calls you to trust Him and what He has already done for you to pay your sIn debt. He has provided the only way of reconciliation with GOD, forgiveness from GOD, and Salvation through Jesus Christ, the Son of GOD who is GOD the Son, to give you a new life in Christ. Turn away from yourself and your sIn and turn to Him alone for eternal Life, now and always.

In Christ,
Jefferson Sweet
