Day 151: Plugging Your Leaks
Read: Hebrews 1:1 - 3, 2:1 - 4
Today my readership I am feeling very excited and I pray that you might
be excited too, at least about one or two things going on around you. I
do not guess that there will be much excitement about the weather with
the freezing rain and the ice that will inevitably cause someone to slip and fall on their pride. No! Today my excitement is to know deep within my heart that we are a people that are greatly
blessed. We are living in the greatest time that man could ever hope to
ask for. We are seeing the culmination of all of the prophecies of the
Bible as we come down to the very end of God’s great plan for the ages. I
can't help think isn’t it wonderful to know a living God, to know a loving and holy God?
Last
night I watched a wonderful short video called "Who Is The God of
Prophecy? by Rev. Dr. Tim LaHaye from his "Left Behind Biblical Prophecy
Series". Now, for myself, I do not know much or have a particular
opinion about the overall picture of fulfilled prophecy over the course
of biblical history. I have not paid that much attention to it. I
guess I thought it was either too complicated or their were just one too
many leaks in the plumbing and I was no where close to being a master
plumber. However, as a part of my wife's and mine shared Lenten
experience, I agreed to watch this series with her to see where it'd
help me plug a few leaks about our living and loving in the prophetic 'End Times'.
Reading these particular passages of Scripture, I was struck by these
words from chapter 1: 'Long ago, at different times and in various ways,
God’s voice came to our ancestors through the Hebrew prophets. 2 But in
these last days, it has come to us through His Son, the One who has
been given dominion over all things and through whom all worlds were
made.(1 - 2)' Long ago, at various times and in various ways? I guess
this is where I find most of the leaks. God's voice? One more leak for
who has actually heard 'God's voice! Our ancestors through the
Hebrew prophets - one more leak - man interpreting God's Voice and then
putting it all accurately down on paper. All in all, just way too 'hole'y.
End time prophecy and
it's fulfillment is a great mystery even to the best of Scholars today.
Even as we're inclined to raise the question "Who is the God of
Prophecy", the question of who God is, is the greatest mystery of all time. But yet, I sit here and I am wondering, with so many obvious and apparent holes in the study of our 'End Time's, is it the fact that there are so many holes to plug up that God uses
them to try and create a 'divine sense of curiosity' within our spirits,
in a well considered well thought out plan to draw us ever closer into
relationship with Him, His Son and His Holy Spirit?
God knows one important truth: Where ever man's see's a leak to plug, he absolutely must do it!
Let Us Pray: According to the riches of Your glory, O Lord, strengthen
me with might through Your Spirit in my inner man, That Christ may dwell
(manifest His presence) in my heart through faith; root me and ground
me in Your love for me, that I may be able to comprehend with all the
saints what is the width and length and depth and height– to know the
love of Christ which passes knowledge; so I can be filled with all the
fullness of God (Ephesians 3:16 - 19).
