Revelation

Amazing, amazing. The more you learn, the more you realise how completely awesome, terrifying and beautiful God is. He is complete in Himself, sovereign, and yet He cares for such a one as me. Thinks of me as beautiful and worthy to be His bride...

I'm listening to a teaching by Paul Washer entitled, quite aptly, The Greatness of God. He is explaining how powerful, how amazing God is. Do you realise that He has the whole world in his hand? That He is in complete control? There is nothing that you can do or that can happen that He has not forseen or is not in control of. Our God is a mighty God to be feared and loved. But what's more... think of yourself as a slave. Think of slaves in days gone by. What did they worry about? The only thing they worried about was doing the will of their master. They didn't worry about food - it was their master's job to feed them. They didn't worry about clothes - he dressed them as he wished. The only thing they concerned themselves with was making sure they did they will of their master.

How much more should we be the same? We know this God - he merciful, slow to anger, abounding in love... such a good God, not giving us what we deserve and more than we could ever ask for. Not a human master with fickel moods and a temper. WHY do we worry about trivial things? ALL we need worry about is how to please our master. He promises to take care of everything else. He is completely, fully in control.

Let me share another anology Paul Washer used. Look at a little child. He doesn't worry about food - his father will make sure that lunch is ready when it needs to be. He doesn't worry about anyone hurting him - his father will sort them out. Such faith in a limited, human man. How much more can we expect this from our God? We don't need to worry about one, single thing other than pleasing God. Nothing, nothing, nothing.
