What shall we say about these things?

Let’s remind ourselves, nothing just happens. Chance may seem to be master and time it’s side-kick but from heaven’s eye-view, God has known and ordained the perfect synchronicity between the trials we face and the final shape of character in His time-line of God-breathed events that establishes divine purpose.Whether we realise it or not, we are becoming more and more like Him and visibly so; and, has well been said, we are often the only Bibles people read these days. Thus may we present Christ faithfully, clearly and without blemish, a perfect solution that does not need improving upon, throughout our days, in ever increasing glory – always making room for God to act.

If God be for us (says the apostle) is one thought that is destined to rewrite the outcomes of wars, reroutes the course of elections, as it carves out new canyons of purpose in the hearts of kings, presidents and, most emphatically, again, I say, chance has no say at all, but ultimately, it is He who was, who is and who is to come that controls all he ordains as He triumphs over, justifies and brings all things under His feet.

May this be our view, our meditation and, our coat of arms; as we are found in the arena surrounded by beasts of unruly affectation, not as spectators but as those entrusted with turning victims into victors for whom Jesus’ death means everything and in whose resurrection means a resurgence from the very precipice of hell.

Let all who hear this note, as we approach the coming year, say with baited breath, with the Spirit and the bride, Maranatha come quickly Lord Jesus.Amen.
