Unpredictability

Posted in Deals, God, tagged on September 7, 2011| Leave a Comment »

And Nadab and Abihu died before the LORD, when they offered strange fire before the LORD, in the wilderness of Sinai”– Numbers 3:4

A little blurb in the book of Numbers reminded Israel (and the readers centuries later) about two priests who decided to do offerings their way. They did not survive.

These accounts remind us that a relationship with God is only on his terms. In Christ we see an intimacy that earlier generations only dreamed about but, still, there’s a certain unpredictability about him.

He will not be manipulated or controlled. A relationship with him, if we want it, is still only on his terms.

Fortunately for us his terms are good! We give him all we have and he gives us all he has — what a deal!

Who Will Pray, Now?

Sons, the report that I hear the people of the Lord spreading isn’t good! If one person sins against another, God will take care of him. However, when a person sins against the Lord, who will pray for him?” — 1st Samuel 2:24-25 (God’s Word Translation)

We have human judges for deciding matters between two people but when the offended party is God, himself, there is no one highter! It’s just not smart to make the God of the universe angry at you!

Once he was mad at you there was no where else to go … until Christ! Jesus loved us enough to satisfy justice on our behalf and bring us into God’s favor.

when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son — Romans 5:10

Who will pray for us?

He is able, once and forever, to save those who come to God through him. He lives forever to intercede with God on their behalf. — Hebrews 7:25 (New Living News Translation)

Jesus!

Sound Bite: Jesus is praying for me!
Prayer: Jesus, you have done what no judge on earth could do, you reconciled me to the God of the Universe! Thank you for continuing to pray for me before the throne! I need it. Amen!

Only Phase One

[T]hey sung a new song, saying, Thou … hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. — Revelation 5:9-10

Too often we act as if this present world and time are the only ones God has in mind for us.

Not So! We won’t be sitting in heaven somewhere eating bon-bons and playing harps when all this is over, we’ll have work to do! Stop thinking we are all headed to some non-physical existence and begin to notice the scriptures about a tangible future that God is moving us toward.

Sound Bite: We are only in phase one!
Prayer: “Jesus, help me to get and stay on board with your training program; learning all I can, growing all I can, knowing you have a greater purpose for me than right here and now. Amen.”
