The Script
For I know the thoughts I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
That theater experience, the immersive and captivating feeling you have when watching a movie for the fist time, a play, a Drama or a Recital, etc, that fully engages your senses and emotions. The suspense, the thrill and excitement that comes with it. For someone else it may be a Book, a song or a poem or anything as such that catches your fancy.
Yet, this feeling is usually somewhat one sided, and its usually on the part of the audience/spectators. The author of the book or producer of the movie or song or whatever it is you are experiencing for the first time, already knows the climax, the anti-climax, and the general outcome – the end. The author would definitely not be reacting the same way the audience or first timers would. This is because, the author already has a foreknowledge of the whole story from beginning to the end.
God is the Master script writer of our life. He knows the end from the beginning of everything that is created and that exist. Afterall, He created ALL things. There is nothing that has happened to you or that is happening to you, even right now, that is taking God by surprise. He knows, and has a plan, to cause it all to work out for your good. The sum total of your life is God’s, He created you, He formed you and calls you His own. There is nowhere you can go from the presence of God. He is everywhere.
God is The Master strategist, He is Beyond Excellence. He cannot make a mistake, you are His masterpiece, created for His glory, to show forth His praises. He is Sovereign, the ALL powerful! Yet, He is not a control freak, He will never force you to do anything you don’t want to do. That’s just the way He is.
The end of your story according to the original manuscript of your life, is to give you an expected end. Everything is already in place for this reality. Nevertheless, to experience the God kind of life on earth, you need to know and have a relationship with the Author and Finisher; in knowing Him, you will receive divine revelation and knowledge to living life to the fullest as He ordained from the beginning. The ball is in your court – all you need do is to ask Him in.
“Behold, I stand at the door and knock, if anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with me”.
