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.
