And they were helped against them...for they cried out to God in the battle. He heeded their prayer, because they put their trust in Him. (1 Chronicles 5:20)

Another thought while listening to Pastor Chuck Smith this morning from Romans chapter 9 (our chapter for Sunday). He didn't say this but it popped into my mind........

God doesn't need me, but He definitely kneads me. Because of His love, He wants us to be conformed into the image of His Son.

But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed say to him who formed it, “Why have you made me like this?” (Romans 9:20)

For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. (Romans 8:29)

This is my own version of something Pastor Chuck said in the final chapters of his teaching in Leviticus: "What God says, He does - What God does He says." I added the second part.

Life isn't about needing stuff. It's about loving people. Jesus had no need for stuff. But He sure loved people. Please read your bible. Having stuff is fun. Having friends is better. God, Family, Church, Friends. I'm sure there is more to add, but that's enough for now.

"There is no little sin, because there is no little God to sin against."

Why did God allow sin to enter the world?

Perhaps we have in these verses [Romans 5:12-21] a partial answer to the familiar question, "Why did God allow sin to enter the world?" The answer is that God has received more glory and man has received more blessings through Christ's sacrifice than if sin had never entered. We are better off in Christ than we ever could have been in an unfallen Adam. If Adam had never sinned, he would have enjoyed continued life on earth in the Garden of Eden. But he had no prospect of becoming a redeemed child of God, an heir of God, or a joint-heir with Jesus Christ. He had no promise of a home in heaven or of being with Christ and like Him forever. These blessings come only through the redemptive work of Jesus Christ our Lord.

I often think about people in the New Testament that are exceptionally blessed. Of course Mary who was chosen to give birth to the everlasting eternal Son of God. But then I always also think of Simon of Cyrene who had the privilege to carry the cross for Jesus. In both those cases, only one person in history got to fulfill that role.

So this last resurrection Sunday we were reading from John’s gospel, and we were reminded about doubting Thomas. One of Jesus’ chosen twelve disciples. But he wasn’t in the room with the other disciples when Jesus appeared to them after His resurrection. So he doubted and wasn’t willing to believe that Jesus was alive unless he could have proof.

Well, the proof came one week later. When Jesus told Thomas to put his hand in his side where the soldier’s spear had pierced Him and touch the holes in his hand. We always think that Thomas missed out on something by not being there the week before. But God had chosen Thomas for something so much greater than being there when Jesus breathed on them and said, “receive the Holy Spirit.” God chose Thomas to NOT be there so that Jesus could give us one of the most important statements in all of the bible…

Jesus said to him, “Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” – John 20:29

Don’t live life focused on what you may have missed. Focus on the only thing that matters, Jesus Christ. Because Thomas wasn’t there, millions upon millions of us get to know we are blessed when we believe the Truth – even without seeing what they saw.

In Calvary Chapel, we have always been taught that where God guides, He provides. That wasn't original to Calvary Chapel but it has been repeated often. Today, after talking to people dealing with very difficult situations, I realized that if God guides you into the situation for whatever reason you can't possibly understand, He will provide what you need to get you through it. We just have to keep our faith and trust in Him. Jesus trusted all the way to the cross. Most likely your life will be easier than that. But take up now your cross in obedience to God and follow Him (Luke 9:23). He is the only Way (Truth, Life) !!!
