Rest...

I have always been amazed at the greatness and sovereignty of God. He has been a very real and present help during the last couple months of crazy schedules. In the Bible study I am leading with the interns here we are reading through the whole Bible in 7 weeks. The consistant theme I have been seeing is the extent of God's love and sovereignty. He accomplishes all things with purpose and reason with the end always being so "they will know that I am the LORD". That they will understand the extent of his love, mercy...

Obedience becomes easier when I maintain a view of the shortness of this life, the sovereignty of God, and his enduring love for me and my family. This mindset brings me great peace and rest because I know that I cannot ruin God's plans. During this Christmas season the birth of Christ takes on a fresh meaning as I futher explore and understand this pivotal moment in God's design for time and how it reveals and fulfills what God has been trying to say to his people all along.
