Wonder...


If the expanse of the universe has no end... how is that possible? It must end some where... but if it does have an end, what's beyond that? The limited mind has cause to wonder...

Having had the opportunity to learn a little about our God in this lifetime and being driven to consider what I've learned of His nature, I'm bound to this train of thought:

We've learned about and seen the complexities of God's creation over time, including those of our own intricate, temporary bodies. We've had the opportunity to explore mystery after deep mystery from the beginning time of man's creation, only to discover far more yet to explore. We've been privileged to be allowed to observe countless breath taking wonders and the amazing beauty of God's creativity both in the earth and the heavens above us...

But we have no real idea what the future beyond this life holds for us as His children in any great detail. We know and believe unfailingly in what He's provided and allowed us to know, but we're forced to consider that there's no limit to the creativity and wondrous power of our God. Being reminded that His only limitation is the perfection of His character - His perfect holiness and righteousness, who can know what awaits? 

As awesome as all of the complexity, minute detail and opportunity for amazement to be found in creation is, would He invest the finest of His creative work in anything so temporary? Certainly no man can know in detail what He has in store for us in the life He intends yet to come. What wonders, what beauty, what creativity ..

Our God's not bound or limited in the detail of His creativity to what we know now of present creation. What we've seen, heard, touched or learned so far may have become so common as to be taken for granted, but in the future it may not even exist. What He's promised is certain, but as for those things remaining untold, what if we recognize nothing of the things that we formerly knew to be common? Break beyond the barriers of the known and the human mind has no true concept of what the unlimited God can do. Imagine the God big, powerful and imaginative enough to breathe out stars...

The wonders and mysteries to be beheld in the presence of a new heaven and new earth, all created new by our unlimited and awesomely awesome God, will most certainly reach beyond the limited imaginations of wondering men. Who can know all that He has in store? We love and serve a God who delights in the love, wonder and awe of His children. Of this I am certain!

What If...

"For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.  And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account. "  Hebrews 4:12-13 (NKJ) I'm not one who appreciates the stoking of fear for the sake of it or unnecessarily. There are enough things in this life to keep people concerned and even constantly fearful if they subscribe to them. I would like though, to take a moment to encourage my brothers and sisters in Christ and any others who will take a little time to read this and give it some serious consideration because the subject has real   potential  consequences and there's still time to address any issues that we find upon reflection... If you were made aware that   sometime in the next hour  your life on earth was ...

Judging, Judgment And Judge...

"I have come as a light to shine in this dark world, so that all who put their trust in me will no longer remain in the dark. I will not judge those who hear me but don’t obey me, for I have come to save the world and not to judge it. But all who reject me and my message will be judged on the day of judgment by the truth I have spoken. I don’t speak on my own authority. The Father who sent me has commanded me what to say and how to say it. And I know his commands lead to eternal life; so I say whatever the Father tells me to say.” John 12:46-50 (NLT) A lot is said these days about "judging", but in the midst of that popular societal buzz and the assertive comments that come with that conversation, I have a question: If God has called something sin and we simply agree with what He's said,... are we judging or just repeating and declaring the truth? When He walked the earth, Jesus spoke about judging and He pointed out the danger of our judging...  “Do not judge other...

An Observance And Observing True Reality...

As Easter approaches, I begin once again considering how our God sees our observance of an occasion as I always do and also what He might truly desire of us in observance above any of our trivial, man inspired traditions . What I come away with in firm conviction is the understanding that the most trivial of my sins, the least of my crimes against God, had the power to forever damn me in His judgment of me and send me into unending torment. And that knowing this one thing in truth and as reality, is key to my correct posture before God in honor of His purpose in the event. That key being the horror of knowing that the price of my very least sin was the shedding of my Christ Jesus' blood and His horrible suffering, because the reality of this brings the deep rending of my heart in awe and gratitude and it makes possible my true joy at the relief of my sentence because of what He has done. I believe this is a part of what God would desire from us in observance of Christ's death a...
