THE CREATOR AND HIS CREATION

12/17/2020

Picture
Did you know that God’s Work
​is already done?
That’s right!
Our human story has already been written.  
It’s an epic tale
about a Creator and His creation,
humans who struggle endlessly
with this concept of faith.
As a way
to bring disobedient children
back to Him,
our Father writes
many trials and tribulations
into our lives.
Yes,
He could give us a life
full of constant blessings,
but what good would that do
if it kept us
independent of him?
Jacob’s trouble
is also meant for us Gentiles.
It’s an opportunity to remember,
repent and come back home.
We would be like the prodigal son -
the one who went astray
and squandered his inheritance.
Or even worse,
we could be like the good son,
the one who stayed home
but kept a hardened heart.
We would be like
the Drunkards of Ephraim,
living off the souls
of the oppressed and the poor.
Even worse,
we could be like kings and queens,
living in luxury,
thinking that we deserve
all of God’s blessings!
On our own
we are foolishly
bound to the curse
that God spoke upon Satan,
and Adam and Eve.
It was a curse
that is cast out
through the people
of every nation, race and creed -
a curse based off the premise
of questioning God’s authority
and wanting to be like Him.
But because God loves us
more than life itself,
He saved us through the flood
that took most of humanity out.
And from that the rainbow was formed,
not to represent pride,
but to show us the love of God.
After the Days of Noah,
Abraham was born.
And from his seed,
a faithful nation was made.
And from the line of Judah,
David would become King,
and from his seed,
Christ would be born.
Christ was a man born to a virgin,
and He was fully God born from Holy Spirit.
It’s kind of hard to make sense of it.
But I have learned to just trust and believe.
Jesus came
so that He could die a horrible death,
so that His blood could cover our sinful selves.
He paid the price
to give us all a brand new life,
but there is a small cost that we too must pay. 
All we have to do is fix the mistake, 
that humanity made back
in the Garden of Eden.
We must trust and believe
the Word that comes out of
​God's sovereign mouth!
The creation has been given
a second opportunity
to trust and believe God,
the One who created everything.
And all we have to do
to reverse the eternal curse
is to have a mustard seed of faith
that Christ is the Son of God,
and He is our Righteous King.
Jesus is also called the Son of Man
because He actually God in the flesh
who became the second Adam.
So if you are reading this,
and your heart is lighting up,
that probably means
that you are a Child of God
who hears your father’s voice.
All you have to do,
is follow the sound that draws you in.
Get into His Word
and He will lead you into light.
His Holy Spirit
is the Lord who makes you strong.
He is the One
who helps the scripture to make sense.
If you are spiritually dead
and falling asleep while reading this,
that probably means you lack faith.
Without faith,
you will not experience God’s presence.
Without faith, you will not have intimacy.
The only way
to fix this fatal mistake,
is to repent and give back your life.  
Once you understand
that you are just the creation,
you will long to return to your Creator.
