Just as I was waking up, an absolutely stellar blog idea flitted through my brain. In the process of setting up the laptop, teeth brushing and other bits of morning ritual, the idea has vanished like a comet sucked into a black hole. Whoosh! I have a pen and paper beside the bed for such moments of inspiration but morning grogginess interfered with remembering it was there.
God is good. I can say with absolute certainty that if it was something that needed to be written about, someone out there is writing it now. If it is something someone needs to read, I am one hundred percent positive the Lord will lead them to it.
Our God is not a God of coincidences. Look at the life of Jesus who's life and prehistory is documented in the scriptures from the dawn of creation. That took some careful planning.
Look at our own lives, too. With allowances for our free will, what a wonderful, meticulous orchestration took place so that we might know the Lord as our Saviour; so we might know God as we knew Him before we ever breathed on this planet.
I don't suppose I'll ever fully unravel the mysteries of the great "I AM" but every once in a while, I have to try. Then give up. He's simply too huge. Besides, that's what faith is for. It means I can accept what the brain does not understand.
If you don't know the Lord as Saviour, please, take the moment to invite Him into your life and heart. It will be the best decision of a life time.
"Lord, You have been our dwelling place in all generations. Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever You had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God." Ps 90:1-2

“Faith and reason are like two wings on which the human spirit rises to the contemplation of truth; and God has placed in the human heart a desire to know the truth – in a word, to know himself – so that, by knowing and loving God, men and women may also come to the fullness of truth about themselves.” – Pope John Paul II

DeleteI am trying to grasp the same type of thought. If we truly believe that God is sovereign, everything is either destined or permitted by God. It is an awesome and grave thought. It should affect the way we look at everything in our lives. It gives me pause daily.
