By God's Design!

Live well. Live purposefully. Live strong….not in yourself but in this- knowing that living is both a discipline and an art... of staying close to the Father, the divine Artist... You see Jesus seeks us out, and then He works His way into our lives as we allow Him to.

How the Lord crafted the universe, is beyond our scope of full understanding. How He could create the vast galaxy, endless sky, every star, every planet, every animal, every human – ALL of creation took great power, yet great meticulous detail and care down to the least of His creation.  Likewise, our lives are to be examples of God's Craft-ability at work. Daily He fashions us into extensions of His own Image.

I marvel at His handiwork in nature and in the hearts and lives of those He's placed around me. It is both purposeful and powerful, the way He crafts His Image, His Heart, His Desires into our hearts as we are naturally by nature sinner and then through His Word engrafts His Mind into our minds.  Even Jesus is the epitome of that mind and heart of the Father transformation:

Philippians 2:5-13 states, “5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. 9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. 12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. 13 For it is 

God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.”

 

All my insecurity, inadequacy, insufficiency, and vast inability can be miraculously God-crafted. Then through the blood of Jesus- Jesus healed, Jesus supplied, Jesus rectified... and divinely... His workmanship sealed through the blood of Jesus! God doesn’t call the qualified! He qualifies the called!  We may not feel qualified in all that God is calling us to do, but it is up to Him to qualify us whether we think we have all the qualifications needed to what He has called us to do or not. God is the author and finisher of our faith!  It's God's Divine' Ability at work in each of our lives! It is amazing and it is miraculous at the same time.  How He takes mere men made out of mere clay and uses us as mighty vessels fit for the kingdom to make an impact, first in our lives, our own families, our communities, and ultimately the World! Our God is an awesome God. Would you join me in praising Him for all that He has done, all that He does and all that He will still yet do in our lives TODAY! He is WORTHY! \O/
