The King Is Ready For You Now

Proverbs 8:22-31
"The Lord formed me from the beginning,
     before he created anything else.
I was appointed in ages past,
     at the very first, before the earth began.
I was born before the oceans were created,
     before the springs bubbled forth their waters.
Before the mountains were formed,
     before the hills, I was born-
before he had made the earth and fields
     and the first handfuls of soil.
I was there when he established the heavens,
     when he drew the horizon on the oceans.
I was there when he set the clouds above,
     when he established springs deep in the earth.
I was there when he set the limits of the seas,
     so they would not spread beyond their boundaries.
And when he marked off the earth's foundations,
     I was the architect at his side.
I was his constant delight,
     rejoicing always in his presence.
And how happy I was with the world he created;
     how I rejoiced with the human family!"


I posted the Bible verses first time because I have found them to be powerful in my thinking and attitude recently.


Did you notice how many times the before was mentioned?...
     Let's count. 1...2...3...4...5...6...7. 7 times! On top of that, there is an
     implied before, when it states "I was there." So, let's add those to our
     count. Now we are up to 10. 10 times did it make it clear that He had a
     purpose in mind when creating this world.


That purpose? You. Me. Us. All of us.


He had it all planned out. He knew what was up. He knows what is to come. Do you? Doubtful. 


If you are one of those people that think they are psychic.... psssh... take your deceit somewhere else, I ain't buying it.


World ends in 2012. Cha right. God is laughing at those who believe that. Are you basing your lives off Christ or off the Mayan calendar?! C'mon you are better than that.


Again, God knows what is to come. He knows where we are. He knows where we are going. The awesome thing is that we don't have to worry about what that destination is. We just have to ride the waves.


Romans 10:28 "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose."


The kicker is that I still have to accept, sometimes daily, things don't necessarily go my way.


My way or the highway? Nope. My way or His way? Nope. My way is His way.


Who am I. I am His. He is the love of my life. Therefore I live my life for Him.


What I love is just like He had the WORLD ready for us. It is PERFECT! Just look around. 


Weather
Rainy days? Consider the masses of water that just pour down in drops!
Thunder? LOUD (random) NOISES!! What power!
Lightning? Flashes of brightness, perfect lines in the bolts, powerful yet again.
Sunshine? Provides light to everything. Warm. Brightens days. Plants grow.
Clouds? FUN SHAPES!!!! No cloud is the same.
Hail? C'mon. He had me at rain. Now ice is falling out of the sky.
(and more)


Animals
Lions? The ferociousness to protect, yet gentleness to love.
Dogs? Unconditional love. (Reminder of Jesus- I think, yes!)
Birds? Have you seen them build those nests?! (Where do they go when there is a tornado?)
Worms? You break them in half, and now you have 2 worms. Like DUDE?!
Fish? Opportunists
Skunks? Their own personal defense system. Who could come up with such a awful smell.
(and more)


Other
Trees? Take our carbon dioxide and say thanks by giving us oxygen in return. 
Water? So obedient. Knows just when to stop. Somehow hydrates us perfectly!
Mountains? Massiveness. (How great is our God!)
Stars? Oh goodness, one of my favorites. How gorgeous! Just when you realize there are a bagillion stars, consider the blackness. 
Moon? How it changes appearance through the month, keeps evening life entertaining too.
(and more)


He had every detail figured out to the tee! Our God is soooo awesome!


Now look at the people. Look at them and think about how God made them (in His own image!) How unique. No person is ugly. Everyone is a masterpiece, hand-crafted by God.


So, now consider this: Whatever your problem may be, whatever trial you are currently facing, whatever pain or heartache you may be going through-- don't you think that if God had the WORLD perfectly prepared for you (DAILY- still perfect when we wake up each day), He has your current situation all set and perfectly planned out?


How relieving to know that everything is fine. Yet, not just fine, PERFECT!


It might not necessarily go your way. But it is going to go His way. Honestly, I couldn't create the majesty of this world. I'd much rather things go His way.


Trust Him would ya?
The King is ready for you.
