Who’s in charge here? Think you have authority to set your destiny, to determine the path you travel, what circumstances come your way, how you take charge of your life? You may find yourself trying to edge out God if you do.
The Lᴏʀᴅ doesn’t limit His work to what is but lets us know He precedes Creation and extends beyond the physical. The Lᴏʀᴅ existing beyond time—First and Last both in present tense—having planned the foundations, ‘calling’ what is into existence by speaking it so. He moves the kingdoms of this world to perform His purposes, using them as tools. Also, He reveals His works and ways to those listening to His voice. To them, He is the ‘Lᴏʀᴅ your God, who teaches you to profit, who leads you in the way you should go’ so that your life in Him can be lived in trust, confidence, belief and have that divine destiny that He proposes for you. You are redeemed because He is the Redeemer, desiring participation in your life as you accept His ways. He is not a secret when you are in agreement to what He reveals, then walking on with Him through His life in you. Thank You, Lᴏʀᴅ.
