Today’s Thought “If I, When I?” G. Ward

Psalm 127:1 Unless the Lord builds a house, they who build it labor in vain; Unless the Lord guards a city, The watchman stays awake in vain.

 

Some may not know it, but our Creator doesn’t awaken from a slumber as you and I do/will to determine task measures for each day (Isa.55:8-9), but pre-determined what today would unfold for earth’s inhabitants long ago and now. Moreover, HE doesn’t draw a consensus with another comparable to Himself, because none can be found. HE alone determined at the beginning (when HE decided), to make mankind in His image (referring to the immaterial portion of who we are, so as to be dedicated in every soul matter – that more determines to imitate HIM, i.e., Holy – 1 Pe.1:16, Eph.5:1).

May today’s determination from us – resemble HIS perfect plan for our lives, ACCORDING TO WHAT IS WRITTEN, through perfect submission (cf. Phil.1:6).
