This morning I woke up and God revealed to me more of this passage and wanted me to share it with you before I left today and before anyone read this message. I'm so glad that He did.
In the beginning, God created our souls in Chapter 1:26-28. This is how we are all numbered, all thought of before the beginning of time.
Then, He created our flesh, or humanity. We are clay, works in progress, mean to be molded and shaped. We are clay in the potter's hands.
Then, He breathed His spirit into us. He did this so that we may live and have life abundantly.
He did all of this before giving man a name. It is not until after all of this takes place that we see the man has a name -- Adam -- lest we think that all of this was unique to him. No my brothers and sisters, this is for all of us. God in all of His infinite wisdom and efficiency has shown us here His plan from the beginning for all of us. God the Father then sent the Son. The Son sent the Holy Spirit so that we may have life abundantly in Him again, after the fall. God knew and has always known us.
Isn't that beautiful?
Be blessed!
Because He has always known us and provided for us since the beginning, we, out of a grateful heart, are happy to give to God out of the outpouring of our joy.
