Job 38:6-7
INTO WHAT WERE ITS (planet earth's) PEDESTALS SUNK,
AND WHO LAID THE CORNERSTONE, WHILE THE MORNING STARS
SANG IN CHORUS AND ALL THE ANGELS SHOUTED FOR JOY?
Job 38:6-7
Isn't this just beautiful? Just close your eyes and try to imagine it for a moment: the foundation, the cornerstone of planet earth being placed...all the stars singing and the angels shouting for joy.
Thousands of questions come to my mind, but they are all a bit silly and not worthwhile...but the awe feeling does not depart.
Can you see God? Can you really picture the scene?
You see God is very different from us in many ways. One of them is the fact that He really likes to share. On that occasion He shared with the stars and the angels that specific moment in history. The stars sang and the angels shouted...what an enormous amount of noise! And God smiled, delighted with the fact that He was not alone in such a moment, such a special moment.
Did you know that on that very moment WE were in His heart. That was the reason for so much noise in heaven. A rock being put somewhere was not the reason for such excitement.
WE were the reason for such excitement. And because God is God and He can do all things, He somehow managed to think of each one of us in that very moment. It says somewhere else in the Bible that He prepared good works for us before the foundation of the earth.
So God did not only see us as a list of names, and placed a tick as He went down the list. Nope, He saw me and said "one day this girl is going to drive the world crazy." and the stars sang and the angels shouted for joy...
what a special moment in history, and in a way- we were there, because we were in God's thoughts, and in His heart. wow.
hmmm, I wasn't going to talk about this, but since it is so nice I will just leave it instead of erasing it...to the point that I was really headed to was more on the reason for pastors, intercessors and prophets to exist. I mean if you consider the fact that we cannot save, not even ourselves, well then we understand we are not essential.
And we aren't. We really aren't. God can use donkeys, a rock or a sunset to speak to a heart.
We are not essential.
So why the call? Why does God ask us to take responsability and take our ministry seriously?
Why the call?
For exactly the same reason that He asked the angels and the stars to join Him that morning...He likes to share.
As a pastor I have held people in my arms...I have shared His love.
As an intercessor I have felt His deepest pain... I have shared His tears.
As a prophet I have seen His divene plans...I have shared His deepest joys.
We can actually partake (participate) with God...in whatever He wants to share, this being a tremendous missionary trip, or a sunset. This is our call: To share with God, whatever He wants to share...pain, joys, chocolates, tears...whatever He wants to share.
God likes to share.
And out of the hardest to imagine things, He has chosen me to walk by His side...
just so He can share.
