The Ghostwriter in Me 2/1/2023
Thank you all for your support. I am so excited to finally share the things that God places inside of me. This is truly the beginning of my ministry.
This morning, I was asking God to allow me to see my writings reach multitudes. Trying to seem humble, I said, I would like to see it bless many. Though I would love for it to bless multitudes, my approaching God was much more pride than humility. God reminded me that moment that these words are not mine. I merely get to sign my name as the author. God is my ghostwriter. Ghost Writer is defined as a person whose job it is to write material for someone else who is the named author. (According to Oxford Language Dictionary)
2 “No doubt but ye are the people, and wisdom shall die with you”
7 “But ask the animals, and they will teach you, or the birds in the sky, and they will tell you;
8 or speak to the earth, and it will teach you, or let the fish in the sea inform you.
9 Which of all these does not know that the hand of the LORD has done this?
10 In his hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind.
11 Does not the ear test words as the tongue tastes food?
12 Is not wisdom found among the aged? Does not long life bring understanding?
13 “To God belong wisdom and power; counsel and understanding are his.
14 What he tears down cannot be rebuilt; those he imprisons cannot be released.
15 If he holds back the waters, there is drought; if he lets them loose, they devastate the land.
16 To him belong strength and insight; both deceived and deceiver are his.
Job 12
In our talents and abilities, God is our ghostwriter. We cannot take credit for having wisdom or a great singing voice. God has gifted us these things.
