God's Grand Design

Tuesday, October 11, 2011

I am meditating on the book of Ruth again. Countless times God has used this short story to encourage me in my walk with Him. Briefly, it's the story of famine, wrong decisions, death, bitterness, and then an awakening to the fact that God is up to something great in the midst of what we call life. Indeed God was ordering steps and orchestrating things beyond Naomi and Ruth's wildest dreams. Its called GRACE! Ruth, a Moabite becomes the great-grandmother of King David and holds a prominent place in the lineage of Jesus Christ (See Matthew 1:5-6). How's that for GRAND DESIGNS?
Like Ruth, we we're from another country, without hope, enemies of God and strangers from His covenants and promises. However, in God's grand design we have been brought near through the blood of Jesus Christ, our kinsman redeemer. You have no 'earthly' idea (2 Cor. 2:9-10) how God wants to order your steps and orchestrate the things that are taking place in your life at this moment. You may not know the end result but you can trust Him for the next step. If you do then your journey is going to be amazing.
When you are finished reading this blog go back and read again, slowly, Ephesians 2. I promise you - God has great things in store for you who put your confidence in HIM!
