Thank You For Reminding Me
And He is not served by human hands, as if He needed anything, because He Himself gives all men life and breath and everything else. Acts 17:25 NIV
Sometimes, as I'm preparing a sermon or writing these thoughts, I have to be reminded that it is by God's strength that I am able. I thank you so much for many of the kind compliments I receive, but it doesn't take much for God to show me that He really could do it without me. In fact, there is nothing I do for God that He could not find someone else to do it better!
Oh, I know we enjoy serving Him, and He loves our service, but if you think about it, does God really need what we do for Him? After all, don't we serve the Creator God? Didn't He speak the heavens into existence? Isn't it Him who decides when the rain will fall? Doesn't He tell the sun when to shine, decorate the skies with the stars, hold the planets in position, and paint the rainbow when it appears?
I don't know about you, but I ge t the distinct impression that God knows what He is doing! What does He need from me? NOTHING!
But, aren't you glad God wants me (and you) in spite of it all! He doesn't need me, but He wants me! More than anything, God wants my heart to be fully and completely motivated towards Him. He wants my everything. He wants priority number one in my life. He wants to give me life and peace. He wants me to spend my forever with Him in His Heavenly home. He's invited me to take up a permanent residence among His chosen few. I'm going to the wedding banquet. My name is written in the Book of Life!
He has all the wealth, power and prestige of the world, and yet He chose me with which to spend eternity! I can give Him nothing in return, but He accepts me anyway! By the blood of Jesus, and nothing else, I receive it all!
I have to tell you, that makes me feel pretty important!
