Day 30: The CEO Of Heaven: Should I Dare To Imagine?
Read: Isaiah 55:8 - 11
This morning I find myself wondering: If I went to Trump towers and at
the door, the doorman, who strangely enough looks like Donald Trump told
me, here are all the keys to the building I am now the man in charge of
this vast global enterprise. I am now the one who makes all the
important decisions. I am the one who signs all the checks for the
people working the front desk, the cooks, the bell hops the people
cleaning the rooms. It is now my sole responsibility to hire and fire
anyone and every one from the top down (except me of course). Can I
really handle this responsibility? Do I really want to try to sit at the
top of all this authority? It is surely quite tempting!
God
operates a bigger business, the universe we know and do not know, the
world we know and the Heaven we don't. One day God walks up to me and
tells me that I am being prepared to take charge of all things. He hands
me the keys to heaven and He tells me that He'll let me make all the
decisions for a while, chart the course of the stars, and have a say in
all things, but that He is still in charge. It is a wonderful thing to
know God desires to mentor me and one day hand over this one of a kind
authority. Rest assured, He comforts, that He always remains in control,
with Him in our lives, everything is going to work out fine. I wonder:
Should I really dare to imagine this?
In these few verses, God
reveals Himself in a very special way, that He operates at such a higher
level than we do. There is no comparison between how we think, our
small plans and ideas, our fears and worries, and the way God operates
in power, Word, and Spirit. He is always positive and self assured and
confident. God is so very different than us, because He knows that it is
all going to work out fine. God never says never—nothing is impossible
with God. Once God says it, nothing can ever change it, it will always
accomplish what it sets out to do. God’s Word in our lives works every
time. No matter what you do, You Can’t Get Him To Get Upset With You.
He isn’t going to do things your way, He is going to do them His
way—v.8b So many times we try to tell God what is best for us. But God
knows better than we do what is best for us, and faith is trusting in
the Lord with all our heart. His ways are higher than our ways—that
simply means sometimes we won’t understand what God is doing, but it
will all work out for good. His ways are better than our ways—God’s
plans are better, because He doesn’t wait for the end to see the
results, He is the Author of results. He knows every detail of your
life, from start to end from the very foundation of the world. Future
CEO of Heaven - Would you even dare to imagine it?
Let Us Pray:
Lord, now that I have had an opportunity to consider just what it is
You do up yonder, I really have only one prayer for You today, please, please don't put
me in charge!!
