“He makes everything work out according to his plan.” (Ephesians 1:11)
Under house arrest and handcuffed to a Roman soldier, the apostle Paul disclosed to the Ephesian Christians his broad, Spirit-led perspective on history, the future, and God’s plan for his people. Though his wrist was chained and his body was confined, his heart and mind inhabited eternity. He peered back before the foundation of the world and on to the fullness of time, and laid hold of what we ought to be here and now in the light of those two eternities.
How puny our vision is compared with his! How small our mind; how narrow our horizons! If only we could discover our present purpose in the light of God’s eternal past and future, we would see that – far more than fitting our shattered lives back together – God is fitting our lives into his great Master Plan.
Fitting In is a 6 week season for discovering our place in it all. He has a plan for all of creation and YOU are an important part of it.
If only we shared the apostle’s perspective, we would also share his praise. Life would become worship, and we would bless God constantly for having blessed us so richly in Christ.
