Performing the impossible
'that in the coming ages he might show...his grace, expressed...to us' EPHESIANS 2:7
Whatever you're going through right now is important. God wants to use it to help shape your future. God doesn't measure us in terms of what we're doing now, or how we feel. No, He's got a much greater plan in mind. Read Romans 8:29.
Thousands of years ago, God knew you; and one day, your character will be just like Jesus'. Doesn't that blow your mind? God is going to put us on display and say, 'Look at My workmanship. Can you believe that I made these awesome creatures from clay? When I first scooped them off the ground they wouldn't hold water. But I worked with them, moulded them and raised them up until they held relationships and jobs. What you heard about them was true. They were a disgrace and a disaster, but My grace was sufficient. Now they will sit with Me, ruling and reigning for ever!'
People think that Houdini and David Blaine performed the impossible; but when it comes to that, they were amateurs. Could they have split an ocean down the middle, caused an eclipse for 24 hours, turned water into wine, resurrected the dead, and done it all with such style? Well, guess what? That same God is at work in your life, and He plans to show you off some day. Incredible as it may sound, when God gets through with you, you'll be 'something else.'
