I fret when a friend goes through a
tough day, so it blows my mind that the All-powerful Creator had no concern or
fears when He sent Jesus as a baby. I realize He knew what had to be done – the
when and why, and that He is the
all-powerful Creator, but still. So much could go wrong!
Humanity… God’s good name… everything
was on the line. Satan knew it and worked hard to sabotage the plan. He wasn’t the only obstacle.
I think it is amazing that Jesus
survived, considering the messiness that comes with living among humans. Jealous
kings, power hungry community leaders, temptations, hardships, fear, grief…
then there were the constant mobs of desperate,
needy and dirty people … and loneliness when those closest to Jesus
(friends and family) would challenge
his identity.
Yet, Yahweh had the plan. There was no
Plan B. He knew what had to be done. He did not fret, for He knew He could
protect and guide His Son. In Jesus’ frail human form, Abba gave His own
strength, so that Jesus could do the good works planned for Him to do so long
ago.
And so it is with you and I. We have a
job to do – looks different for each of us – and Abba gives us what we need.
Jesus was the most endangered in walking on this planet. He had the most to
lose. He is our example, our friend, our strength. That is huge!
Abba,
hallelujah! You are good, holy, just and all-knowing. All you start will be
accomplished. You are not a man that you would, could, or should fail. Thank
you for doing great works in and through Jesus my Savior. Give me faith to see
the same is true in my life... May you
be glorified in me because of Jesus (thank you, that you are!). In His sweet
name…
