A Big Mess

1 Amens

Amen

He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by Him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by Him and for Him. He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.  - Colossians 1:15

Only the Lord can be in the business of bringing good out of evil, blessing generation after generation. The actions of David and his pursuit of Bathsheba and all the events that surrounded this big mess are one of the key stories of redemption in Scripture.

Sometimes the enemy tricks us into thinking that the pain and mess of our lives are beyond repair - beyond help. We see ourselves as a mess, chaotic and without beauty. But that's not the way God sees us. In His mercy, His agenda is one of redemption and restoration - no matter who we are. He is the star breathing God, but He is also the author and artist of our lives, and the minute not only matters to Him - from the smallest cell to the largest galaxies - He cares for it all.

This morning I attended the Willow Park Church service in the mission. My friend Theresa brought me. It was a God thing (or God wink) that led me. The sermon by Pastor Laurence was what I needed to hear. I am glad that I can download the podcast to my IPod so I can listen to again as it takes time for me to absorb these messages. I felt welcomed and the friendly people made me feel at ease. Thank you.
