Restored

16 March 2012                                            

Revelation 14:2-3 And I heard a voice from heaven like the sound of many waters and like the sound of loud thunder; the voice I heard was like the sound of harpers playing on their harps, and they sing a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and before the elders. No one could learn that song except the hundred and forty-four thousand who had been redeemed from the earth.

In the past few weeks the temperature here at Warmbaths (Bela Bela) has been well into the thirties and at nigh maybe down into the twenties, yesterday we had a cool day at nineteen and lovely cool night. We were really blessed with the rain that was much needed in the area. We cannot produce the weather, neither are we able to cause good rain to fall, only God can.

We should be well reminded that there are certain things that are God’s prerogative alone. We live in a world wherein people presume that nature is dependant on nature, and that with science and knowledge we are like god’s. This desire to be god as man was the cause of the broken relationship between God and man, and it was God that chose to restore that relationship. To do this He had to sacrifice the best that He had, His Son.

Easter is about that restorative process and it is at this time that we are reminded that it is His process not ours. He has done it all for all, our part in the process is to accept what He has done.

Be encouraged today to be reminded that God has done it all for you.

David
