I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: Marvellous are thy works; And that my soul knoweth right well. Psalms 139: 13-15
The last time we met (For His Glory...Not Mine!), we meditated on God's character in Adam and Eve and how powerfully impacting His un-damaged DNA was in them, that it filled the whole then-known world with His glory! God saw everything He had made and said it was VERY good. Genesis 1:26-31.
We also saw where God's DNA plan was successful not only in trees, but also in faithful human beings like Abel, Seth, Samuel, Joseph, John the Baptist, and Jesus. I had asked the question, "What about me and you?" You probably asked “me”? How can I with all my genetic and spiritual mutations… all the sins I have committed be like Jesus? This is impossible! Look at my corrupted DNA files- those records are irrevocable. I am useless...I have been hereditarily, environmentally, and spiritually molested and possessed by Satan's DNA. God cannot do anything for me.
Wash you, make you clean...Isaiah 1: 16
I also felt that way. I was a borderline atheist when I was a teen, though I grew up in church. I backslid from Christ and began being rebellious. I got to the point where I resented God for some of my experiences, but that is because I was being hoodwinked by Satan. The Lord asked me: “Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint. From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment. Isaiah 1:5,6. He told me I was going down a very dangerous slope and needed to make a U-turn.
God took me through the fields of His Word and personally introduced Himself to me. He told me “With God, all things are possible”! Luke 1:37. He shared His secrets of overcoming with me and opened my dark understanding as I sought Him with part of… and then all of my heart. He whispered: “Christ in you…the hope of glory”! Colossians 1:27. I believed and the rest is “His-story”- God was glorified and I have purposed to hold tightly to His hand and NEVER let go.
Friends God wants to change you from the inside out simultaneously. Even if your faith is as small as a mustard seed at this moment (Matthew 17:20-21), God will gently take your hand and lovingly lead you until your faith becomes an immovable fortress; a magnificent mountain! Why don’t you give Him your heart… all of it?
My son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways.
Proverbs 23:26
