Haven't been here for a while. And, I miss it. Thinking about you God. A Sovereign God who has granted us Free Will. How does that work? I have said "God has me just where he wants me". There are three choices, wildly enthusiastic, neutral or resistant. Just look back through life and judge for your self. Lots of discussion here. Think about good and evil. God has power over Satan. We can let Satan rule our lives or we can invoke God's power and choose life.
Join in an event, move to another town, think of anything you like and God will cause you to to be within His Will. He is Sovereign! And, God is the consummate planner. He not only created me but, he also created a glorious plan for my life. Here we can think of two phases of life. The fleshly life, the life here on this Earth. Then the spiritual life, the life in the new Heaven and the new Earth. Think of life at your home as a child. Our parents had us right were they wanted us and some of the time it was not where we wanted to be. But, because of our dependence the choices were limited. If you want to have a good time better go with the flow. Some never learn. God created some rebellious children. David was one of those. But, he knew God. There are many stories about God sovereignty. The twins Esau and Jacob. God planned for the deceiver to rule. And, the deceiver had an important role in the building of the Kingdom.
Why did God create? What is His plan? Why did God choose us? Would you like to know the answers? Well, just pay attention then. Here it is. Just know God. He will give the answers. In His revelation He has promised us this much. He has been and continues to introduce and reveal Himself to us. Read the book! Experience life! Where do we learn about God? From His creation. Learning about the world is learning about God. But, just knowing about Him is not enough. We have know God. I know about many famous people who I have never met. And, as far as I know I will never meet them. At least not in this physical life. But, I do have family and friends who I "know". And, I can get to know them better by meeting, talking and sharing. Well since God is alive and always with us in the Spirit, we can get to "know" Him and know Him well. The body of Christ is the priesthood of all believers. Know any of these folks and you will come in contact with the Holy Spirit. The spirit of God himself. It is impossible to be engaged, working in a group without knowing the members of the group. So, wherever you are today, get on the enthusiastic band wagon and learn more about God and His plan. You don't need any preparation. There are no manuals. No further education is required. Just do it
