We Walk by Faith

6/29/2018

 
“Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done, saying “My counsel shall stand and I will do My pleasure,” – Isaiah 46:10
 
I was watching a movie: It was an elaborate set up designed to convince a traitor – and the audience – he was safe and successful.  And it looked real.  It looked like a bank robbery, looked like the agents died, looked like he had gotten the money.  Then POOF.  The agents come back from the dead – with the bad guys who robbed the place – to arrest him.  And, oh, he doesn’t have the money – in fact, he never did.
 
The traitor thought he understood the situation.  Seen it all.  Knew what was going on.  And was one step ahead of everyone else: But he didn’t and he wasn’t.  The agents knew the situation and understood what was truly happening.  Like me and God.
 
In life, I often think I see the whole situation and have got it sorted.  Only to find out, I don’t and never did.  In my limited perspective, I only see what my mind is prepared to see and nothing more.  Unless God chooses to reveal it to me, I can’t see His underlying purposes or even glimpse His master plan.  This is why Paul says we walk by faith not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7).  In other words, we chose to live in humble trust of God.  Because even when I think I see clearly, God has ways of showing me just how little I truly understand.
​
But I do get one thing: The bad guys always lose. ​
