Bible Note: That is so true and so timely! Just this morning in my men’s bible study we were talking about service and you know, it seems that too often our service has a hook in it. We seem to serve with an understanding that in so doing we are blessed, and truly we are, but this should not be the motive. And I pose the question, why do we do what we do? It all comes back to God. Or it should. I mean, I believe we all may be guilty of it to a certain degree. How often to we proclaim: “Come to the Lord and be blessed!” or “Come to God for ‘your eternal reward’”! Come to God and get, get, get we say. In reality it should be all about Him and not what we can get. The Lord has done a lot in answering my inquiry. In looking for answers to this one verse, He caused me to look at the mystery: the summation of all things under Christ Jesus in heaven and in earth. And as I studied He showed me from Hebrews Chapter one that angels are indeed ministering servants for us. And that in 1 Peter they desire to look into these things. God is all knowing, they are not. And they sat in awe as they began to see His plans unfold and the redemption of mankind and as they realized that before the foundation of the earth He was the Lamb worthy to be slain. God is an awesome God Who transcends time, and all His creation. His plans are immense and it is so awesome that He takes time to let us get little glimpses into them. Thank you for your response and I pray that, and I believe that, as I seek Him with sincere heart to know Him, He is molding my theology in Truth. |
