It Finally Clicked!

I have never fully understood the whole Jesus being man vs. Jesus being God thing.  But I was reading a book this last week and it finally clicked!  The book was talking about how Christ didn't study in the temple.  He went out in nature to commune with His Father.  He spent years and years perfecting His relationship with God until it was totally natural and - I finally got it.  Paul performed miracles, so did Elijah, Elisha and others in the Bible.  I have often longed to understand how they were so close to God when I feel so far away.  But that is another topic altogether.  I finally realized that Jesus truly didn't attain something we can not (other than the being without sin part).  If we diligently strive to walk closer and closer with God and spend quality time with Him we have the potential to perform miracles as well (through God of course).  It also made total sense to me how Satan so easily twists that for so many - indeed even for Eve in the garden.  Enticing us to believe that we can be gods as well.  We can not become gods yet we can be vessels for THE GOD to dwell in and He can work THROUGH us DESPITE our imperfections.  I don't believe I expressed this thought very well.  At least it clicked for me!!

And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship. 4 Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught. 5 And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net." Wow.  Nevertheless at thy word...  What an amazing reminder of Isaiah 55:8 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.” If only I could remember that when things aren’t going my way and I don’t understand why.  Perhaps God is just asking me

Trust

Trust Trust Him when dark doubts assail you, Trust Him when your strength is small, Trust Him when to simply trust Him Seems the hardest thing of all.  Trust Him, He is ever faithful, Trust Him, for His will is best, Trust Him, for the heart of Jesus Is the only place of rest.  Author unknown Proverbs 18:10  “The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.”
