Don’t waste time shooting bullets
backward.
God
has an agenda, his “things-to-do” list. He loves us, his human creations, and
wants us to be with him in heaven, forever.
When
humans sinned and messed it all up, God didn’t quit. “Fellowship with the
humans” is still at the top of God’s agenda. His unchanging nature and
steadfast perseverance establish a trend that we can trace throughout the
Bible. Watch for trends as you read your Bibles.
Therefore
God sent his Son, and launched the process for our redemption. Giving up on the
humans simply wasn’t an option. The principles of God, his trends, will not
change. You can count on God.
God
doesn’t hold onto a grudge or harbor resentment against mankind. Once Adam and
Eve were disciplined and course-corrected, God let go of the offense. It does
no good to shoot bullets backward.
Our
God of provision looks forward, and so should we. He has made a way for us to
live together, in the New Jerusalem, forever.
Come quickly, Lord Jesus.
