In the Middle of Things
In the middle of things God moves. We may not see it or feel it, but He moves in the lives of His children.
And since God exists outside of time, those who will be His children, are His children. He knows our choices before we even make them.
Anyone who has repented and surrendered to Jesus as their Lord and Master can look back and see that God was working in their lives, in many ways, through different times and situations.
Before we took the path that would lead us to Jesus, it was already known by God. He had a part in the making of it after all.
At one time we were not God's child. We were cut off from Him. We did not know that we would ever come to believe, but God did.
And then with our decision to follow Jesus, becoming a new creation in Him, we became God's child.
"For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, 'Abba, Father.”'
Romans 8:14-15
The process of becoming a child of God was beyond the natural way of things. But why should we expect ot to be otherwise? The whole process involves flesh and blood, the here and now, but is of eternal consequences.
We may compare our life in Christ to something else we may understand better, but that description will always lack the fullness that it represents. We are dealing with the Creator God and His ways are so beyond our ways.
“'For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways,' says the Lord. 'For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts. For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, and do not return there, but water the earth, And make it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower and bread to the eater, so shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; it shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it."
Isaiah 55:8-11
I love all of Isaiah 55. But these verses give us a bit of the awe we should feel when we realize Who we are dealing with when we are speaking of God.
Our Father is an awesome God!
Stay strong! If you have not done so, seek Jesus, repent and completely surrender your life to Him and become a child of God! If you have already done so, rejoice in the God of your salvation!
