God's Working Behind The Scene


For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

Hebrews 4:15

For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

Isaiah 55:9

God sent is son into this world to deliver us from the penalty of sin. There was none on this earth who were perfect, for through Adam’s bloodline all had sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. Seeing that there was none among us to deliver us from wickedness unto righteousness, God sent his ONLY begotten son. Hebrews reminds us that he was touched by our infirmities; Christ had compassion on his Father’s creation, so he laid down his life. People lose sight of the fact that Christ was 100% God and Man. There were many times he was tempted just as we are. The devil offered Him the world, He could have passed from taking the cup in the Garden of Gethsemane, but instead He was without sin. For that you should truly be grateful. Our second focus verse taken from Isaiah declares to us the revelation we should grow to see and understand; in our deepest stage of evil God had already formed a plan for Salvation, He had already ordained the time and day His son would come. He had already planned a way of escape for His children. Despite what I may think is best, I am glad that God knows best… There have been numerous times where I pondered the question what is God up too and this passage from the prophet simply tells us today that His ways are not our ways, and His thoughts are higher than ours. So when you fill in despair about your circumstance and can’t seem to understand your situation, know that God is at work and it all will work for the good, for those called according to His purpose! When we think about situations, we immediately begin to form our own plan and directions for action; Isaiah reminds us today that as a child of God we must realize that we have to walk by faith and not by sight. We must ignore the way in which the world declares right and hold to Gods unchanging hand! These verses unified together encourage me to understand that He sees your frustration, He feels your pain, He knows everything that you have faced, but furthermore it empowers me to remember that He has planned a course that will help you bare every burden, He has set a time for you to reap the harvest of your labor and He will never put more on you than you can bare! Jesus was crucified that we might live; today He sits at the right hand interceding on our behalf… God has always made a way out of no way; He has always shown up on time, He has always turned our darkness into day… You may not understand every situation, you may not understand every valley, you may not understand every cloudy day, but what you must know (as a Christian) is that God doesn’t make mistakes, what you must know is that He has gone to prepare a place for you! In this place there will be no more weeping, there will be no more sadness, there will be no more pain, there will be no more sin… Everyday will be Sunday, Sabbath will have no end and you will walk the streets of gold giving God the highest Praise because He heard your prayer, He saw your tears and He prepared a way for your victory!

BE BLESSED!!!
