Living Proof
Many times I have heard believers discussing events in their lives, wanting life to “move on”. I, too, have had discussions with other believers about the way getting to some point in life seems to be taking a long time. This morning as I was waking up, I realized in a new way that we are God’s handiwork. We are involved in God’s process of restoration of the earth.
God created everything, including man. He saw it was a good thing. He established a pattern of life with six days of work and a day of rest with Him. Man chose to believe and trust the enemy, the serpent, more than God. That brought in death and corruption. But even then God had a plan to use a man to reverse it.
Romans 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.
19 For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
The earth was years in bondage until Jesus came and through the obedience of the cross delivered the world from death. Our lives here on earth have a beginning and an end. However, as believers, we have a life after this where we spend eternity with our God. We are being prepared for the future, just as we prepare in our youth for our life as we grow older. If we will allow ourselves, we will have opportunity to continue to learn throughout life, and also to pass on what we have learned. We are all on the journey to becoming the bride, if we will hold on trusting in God.
Prayer
Father, we praise and exalt You. You alone are worthy of our praise and worship. We ask that you would send Your kingdom today Father. Forgive us when we err, and cleanse us from unrighteousness. Please send today Your deliverance, healing, and supernatural provision. In Jesus’ (Yeshua’s) name. Amen.
