God is up to something BIG

One of my core beliefs in life is that God is sovereign over all that occurs. That means only what He determines or allows takes place. With that as the foundation of my thinking, I’ve been pondering what God is up to. Why has He established certain things? Why has He allowed other things? Is God superintending circumstances and world affairs to direct history corresponding to His design?

I’m absolutely persuaded that God is up to something BIG. The pandemic has now affected practically the entire earth and the economic impact will be felt by every individual. He must be superintending something BIG.

Is He seeking to humble humanity? Is He trying to reconstruct political, social, economic and power structures across the globe? What is He seeking to say to humanity? Is He trying to get us to listen? Is He seeking to remodel the 2,000 year old church?

On a personal level I am learning traits about myself that I might not have seen without these new factors. I am being pressed to think outside the box I’ve produced over the last 30 years. I’m being stretched to think about a future that He might prefer look different than what I’m used to.

" He is the God who made the world and everything in it. Since He is the Lord of heaven and earth, he doesn't live in man-made temples, and human hands can't serve his needs--for he has no needs. He himself gives life and breath to everything. ...From one man he created all the nations throughout the whole earth. He decided beforehand when they should rise and fall, and he determined their boundaries.

His purpose was for the nations to seek after God and perhaps find him--though he is not far from any one of us. For in him we live and move and exist." Acts 17:24-28 (NLT)

Let your faith grow as you relax in the God who is “Lord of heaven and earth.”
