| God is up to something... |

A recent post by JessIAm reminded me of a hilarious exchange I had with a good Christian friend of mine a few years ago. He was talking about some troubling events that have been happening in his life, and then concluded offhandedly, "God's up to something." I immediately burst out laughing and said that's the biggest understatement in history! I dunno why that still cracks me up, but it does. God's not just up to something, God's up to everything! And not in a subtle, furtive way either, but in loud, spectacular, in-your-face ways, too! And not only is His will not mysterious, but He made His plan for us abundandly clear in the Bible; we know what He's up to! 1:9 For he has made known to us in all wisdom and insight the mystery of his will, according to his purpose which he set forth in Christ 1:10 as a plan for the fulness of time, to unite all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth. 1:11 In him, according to the purpose of him who accomplishes all things according to the counsel of his will, 1:12 we who first hoped in Christ have been destined and appointed to live for the praise of his glory. 11:39 And all these [godly prophets of God], though well attested by their faith, did not receive what was promised, 11:40 since God had foreseen something better for us, that apart from us they should not be made perfect. Heh, "something" indeed! |
