A
Heavenly Proposition
…that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe. Galatians 3:22b
• A Plan. . .
• A Blueprint. . .
• A Design. . .
God
created us to need Him every second of our lives. I know that goes against the
self-reliant, self-sufficient, self-assured; autonomous pride-filled
individuals. Nevertheless, that’s the way God wants it, therefore, that’s the
way it is.
If
we really think about it, it’s a win-win situation—having to depend on God. People
are deluded if they think they can do a better job caring for themselves than Almighty
God; when He told us to cast all our cares on Him. (I Peter 5:7) We can’t ask
for anything better than that. It sure beats drowning our sorrows in drugs and
alcohol.
God
is the good Shepherd. He will direct our steps. For Him to direct our steps
means, He knows where He wants us to go, and what He wants us to do. Think
about it! We have God’s Unmatched Creativity
directing our lives. It hard to comprehend all that greatness flowing through
us—but it is. God knows the route that will lead us to success. Since there are
no surprises, no mishaps, no shocks that can catch Him off guard, nothing can
stop His purpose on our behalf—except for our free will of course.
God also knows all about the underhanded plots
that the enemy has planned for our destruction. We don’t have to waste time
trying to figure out our next move. God has already made a way of escape. (I
Corinthians 10:13) All He wants us to do is trust and obey Him to do what’s
best.
In
addition to all that, we have angels assigned to us to defend and preserve us
in all our ways of obedience (Psalm 91:11). God’s strength is made perfect in
our weakness. (II Corinthians 12:9) He will fight for us. All we have to do is
hold our peace (Exodus 14:14). And, when our life on earth is over, we’ll be
present with the Lord. (II Corinthians 5:8)
The only thing the devil is counting on is: We don’t have
enough faith to know that God has given us—A
Heavenly Proposition!
