fron·tal lobe
noun: frontal lobe; plural noun: frontal lobes each
of the paired lobes of the brain lying immediately behind the forehead,
including areas concerned with behavior, learning, personality, and
voluntary movement.
Mounted on the mitre of the High Priest fronting the forehead, was a golden plate. The plate was inscribed "HOLINESS TO THE LORD". In other words, God's creation, His High Priest, had to come before Him with all his behavior, learning, and personality subdued to the truth of God. This was ultimate wisdom. In the truth of God, the forehead of men is described as negative or positive in light of His truth. Those who are not faithful to Him are described as having the forehead of a whore. The self indulgent are said to have leprosy of the forehead.
The golden plate was held in place by a blue riband and the plate had crown written on it. The word used for crown is associated with the rite of the Nazarite. This is another indication of the High Priest being separated unto God. It also spoke of a coming High Priest who would not only be High
Priest but also a King forever. In every capacity he was, and forever is, committed to God.
Now it falls to all believers to use our frontal lobes in such a way as to bring holiness to the Lord. Follow and obey the Lord, He will show us how to make holy choices as we live our dedicated lives. Through Him, our minds can be renewed and God can have His loving family back.
Reginald Heber was an English bishop but he also enjoyed writing hymns. After his death, his wife found the following words among his effects:
"Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty
Early in the morning, our song shall rise to Thee
All Thy works shall praise Thy name in earth and shy and sea."
Years later, the words were rediscovered. A tune was added and now believers everywhere sing
HOLINESS TO THE LORD. Way to put those frontal lobes to their best employ!!!!!
