SEVEN DIVINE LAWS OF THE GOD WHO SEES
Gen 16:13
Then she [Hagar] called the name of the LORD who spoke to her, You-Are- the-God-Who-Sees; for she said, "Have I also here seen Him who sees me?"

Creator of the Universe, we humbly gather in fellowship and worship through Your only begotten Son on this Holy day.

MESSAGE
Hagar was the mother of Ishmael by the arrangement of Sarah for Abraham. God saw Sarah's arrangement but it was not HIS will, Hagar and Ishmael were sent away. Isaac was born of Sarah just as God had promised. Isaac would be the heir to Abraham. Our Lord is a GOD who SEEs. He was, and is hands-on active in the progress on this earth.
Divine laws are that which enjoin the duties of piety and morality, and are prescribed by God and found in the Scriptures.--> {Websters Dictionary of 1828.}
Question?: Was Divine law present in the Garden of Eden? Yes, we know this becuse the FIRST Edition of Divine Law is recorded in Psalm 19, starting with verse number One: It also happens to be written by David:
The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament shows His handiwork. (2) Day unto day utters speech, And night unto night reveals knowledge.
(3) There is no speech nor language Where their voice is not heard.
(4) Their line has gone out through all the earth, And their words to the end of the world. In them He has set a tabernacle for the sun,
(5) Which is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, And rejoices like a strong man to run its race.
(6) Its rising is from one end of heaven, And its circuit to the other end; And there is nothing hidden from its heat.
This circuit has always been a great gift from God to mankind; In the evening, the majesty of the Lord's art is painted on the retiring sky, announcing the arrival of darkness and a period of rest. This painting, like the morning display, is dynamic, meaning; 'in constant motion'. The light of morning chasing the darkness away heralding the beginning of a NEW DAY. From the first day of creation to the present, no sunrise nor sunset have ever duplicated the same dynamic scene, that living artistry painted on the canopy of heaven. Two miracles each and every day. All of them different. All of them a GIFT to us!
(7) The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul. The testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple;
(8) The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; The commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes;
(9) The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever;
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in Your sight, O LORD, my strength and my Redeemer. {Psa 19:1-9,14 NKJV}
In the garden God created Man and Woman. God imparted to Adam His Law, and His Love as well. Both Adam and Eve could but see with their own eyes, the wonders and the power of the Law of the Lord. By His WORD all things exist where nothing had been before. The evidence of this FIRST EDITION of DIVINE LAW was written on Nature, and in a most remarkable and dramatic manner. It was little wonder why Satan was REALLY UPSET when GOD gave earth's sovereignty over to MAN and not to HIM!
The SECOND EDITION OF THE DIVINE LAW comes to us from Romans 2 and Verse 14:
For when the Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do the things in the law, these, although not having the law, are a law to themselves,
(15) who show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and between themselves their thoughts accusing or else excusing The thoughts; coming from the soul.
How about you? Are you an ACCUSER, or an EXCUSER?
One day we all will be judged on those thoughts we EXCUSED and allowed them to prosper in our minds. Jesus said this about thoughts of adultery: Mat 5:28 "But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart."
Be ACCUSING and not EXCUSING. "The LORD Rebuke you SATAN, The LORD Rebuke you!!"
On the day that God wrote with His finger the Decalogue, also know as the Ten Commandments, God Himself produced the THIRD EDITION of DIVINE LAW; written on tablets of stone. The first presentation of the tablets to mankind, by Moses, did not go well. Vulgar SIN had broken out and IDOL worship ensued. The Tablets of the Law were smashed to the ground!
The Mighty Lord was extremely angry. So much so that He was considering destroying mankind altogether and be done with these sin laden creatures. Moses was able to reason with God, and He relented and wrote another set of tablets which Moses was successful in delivering to and committing the Hebrews, at least for the moment, to embrace and ONLY worship the True God.
We refer to the FOURTH EDITION OF THE DIVINE LAW as the ILLUSTRATED EDITION. Joh 1:1-5, 14 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
(2) He was in the beginning with God.
(3) All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.
(4) In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.
(5) And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.
(14) And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.
It is by and through this man, JESUS the CHRIST, Son of GOD, that we ALL must confess with our mouths and invite and take into our very bodies the Holy Spirit and receive entry to the Kingdom of God and to Eternal Life.
Jesus is and was the living express image of the Father, His Father, Our Father Almighty GOD. Thus He is the exact illustration of the Majesty on High.
Rom 15:2-4 Let each of us please his neighbor for his good, leading to edification.
(3) For even Christ did not please Himself; but as it is written, "THE REPROACHES OF THOSE WHO REPROACHED YOU FELL ON ME."
(4) For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope.
These Verses bring us to DIVINE LAW EDITION NUMBER FIVE. The Entirety of Holy Scripture! The Holy Bible, 66 books, 40 GOD inspired and ordained writers, becomes GOD's Gift to each and everyone of us.
Rom 4:23-24 Now it was not written for his sake alone that it was imputed to him, (24) but also for us. It shall be imputed to us who believe in Him who raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead.
1Co 9:10 Or does He say it altogether for our sake? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written, that he who plows should plow in hope, and he who threshes in hope should be partaker of his hope.
1Co 10:11 Now all these things happened to them as examples, and they were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages have come.
2Ti 3:16-17 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
Studying the Holy Bible can be a challenge, but I promise once you start, the Bible will begin reading YOU!
The SIXTH EDITION OF DIVINE LAW is when God uses a permanent marker to inscribe His Law onto your beating heart--{Heb 8:10} FOR THIS IS THE COVENANT THAT I WILL MAKE WITH THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL AFTER THOSE DAYS, SAYS THE LORD: I WILL PUT MY LAWS IN THEIR MIND AND WRITE THEM ON THEIR HEARTS; AND I WILL BE THEIR GOD, AND THEY SHALL BE MY PEOPLE.
As you explore the Holy Bible, the scripture comes alive. It is as though the heart that beats in your chest beats in rhythm with the heart of the Word of GOD. It will take your breath away!!
SUMMARY/APPLICATION
The LAST edition is the SEVENTH EDITION OF THE DIVINE LAW; The Outward Christian Life. Those who become LIVING EPISTLES.
[American Heritage Dictionary: Epistle; A literary composition in the form of a letter, often included into a book of other Epistles.]
Living Epistles are the ones who WALK THE WALK, not just TALK THE TALK!
Talk is cheap.
Walking in HIS Light requires complete reliance on HIM and ZERO reliance on yourself. Walking the walk means being His completely.
We walk the walk by TRUSTING in Him and OBEYING His Commands. Jesus makes it simple; LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD AND ONLY GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, WITH ALL YOUR MIGHT, AND LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOU LOVE YOURSELF. Easy and simple to say, but it's performance will require everything you have. Are you there? Have you arrived? Do you reflect HIM to others as you should? If not, start today. Give absolute control to Jesus! Follow HIS lead.
The SEVEN EDITIONS OF THE DIVINE LAW ARE IN THIS BOOK. We call it The HOLY Bible!
CLOSING PRAYER
Almighty GOD, the evidence of Your power and majesty is seen everywhere, in all things! We discover the awesome creativity within our own bodies. The heart you created that beats non-stop from conception's garden, never taking a break, or a vacation, year after year stopping only at our last breath. We are in Your image, and each was individually created by Your very hand. With every breath we take, We are Your Witness of Your Creation, in Jesus the Christ this we pray, AMEN!
THE CALL
If you have never invited Jesus to be your Lord and savior, or, if you have in the past yet remain unsure of salvation and forgiveness of sin, Please pray with me now: Lord Jesus I need to fill a hole in my life that follows me where ever I go. I am a long-time Sinner and I CONFESS and REPENT of all my sins. I believe that You JESUS are the Lord, that you were hung on a cross and died. I believe that you were raised back to life by God, Your Father, ascended into heaven and presently sit at the right hand of The Almighty. Please come into be, clean me, take me and make me Yours and let me serve from this day forward and forever, Thank-You Jesus, AMEN
If you sincerely prayed with me, your salvation has been assured. {Rom 10:9 KJV }-That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. }
