"fell upon their faces, and worshiped God," (Rev. 11:16)
Is this not the attitude-response we creatures ought to automatically have towards our Creator? Too many of us say, "I don't know what God is doing, but I'll trust Him anyway. Isn't He fortunate to have such a loyal, worthy subject?"
No, we don't form those words consciously, but many of us feel them as we congratulate ourselves for being one of God's faithful, pious ones. Our focus must always be on GOD Who is merciful to us! We fall off our pedestals, our thrones, or whatever else holds our faces up; and we worship HIM.
We created peons, of course, who have no capacity to create life; have no capacity to work miracles either, which is why that word was actually made. It is a label given us peons who are limited; the Creator is not.
He can raise from the dead as well as rise Himself as many times as He pleases; and virgin births are no problem; turning water into wine or walking on it or drinking poisonous water are not problems. The winds and waves obey Him; as do all the creatures in it; even the fire falls from the sky; and God can get the sun to stand still.
IF GOD THE CREATOR WISHED, HE COULD LOOK DOWN AT ENEMIES MARCHING OUT AGAINST HIM AND WITH ONE THOUGHT CAUSE THEM TO DISAPPEAR. But He loves them too much to do that.
I often think of the television host that spoke of seeing 2-year-olds on his show who thought they were so smart and answered all his questions with the stupidest answers. But they were SO CUTE, he said. He just wanted to take them up and squeeze them; they were so adorable!
Is that comparable to the way God sees us? Even the greatest of us is "so darling" in His sight, and He has extended personal, unthinkable reconciliation to All!
Recently, I was re-reading a memory of Judy Fingeroot, (a friend of one of my sisters) who told me if she believed what I did, she'd crawl on broken glass to tell people about my message. Father, there is some truth to that sentiment, altho' we cannot be driven by that alone, I know; but we need to see the reality of the situation, don't we? Let us, Your children, be empowered, with Your Love, to implore compellingly:
"Be ye reconciled to God" (2 Cor. 5:20) before it's too late!
