As you are aware, every human being is born into sin, living in a fallen world that is nevertheless being transformed and renewed by God's irresistible grace. This divine grace is powerful beyond our comprehension, working to restore all creation to its original purpose. Yet, in the vastness of this divine work, our role is minuscule; our influence is limited. Because of our darkness and spiritual blindness, we rarely pause to marvel at the supernatural renewal happening around us and within us. Still, all these divine acts are ultimately directed toward the day when God will have complete authority—every knee will bow and every tongue confess that He alone has the right to reign over everything, both great and small. Let us cultivate a deep devotion and longing for His return—an earnest desire rooted in the intimate hope that His unfailing love will sustain us. Such hope leads us into a paradigm of joy and wonder, a life that is lived out in anticipation of His presence. We are called to live in awe of His bigness, recognizing that in doing so, we align ourselves with His divine purpose, finding fulfillment and joy in the knowledge that we are part of His eternal plan, designed to glorify Him forever in His glorious presence. We live in an age where the clarity and profundity of Christian doctrine concerning life itself have significantly diminished. Over time, we have reduced God's character and His truths to fit our limited understanding, often trivializing His majesty to the point that self-determination has taken precedence. This shift has introduced more relational conflicts among people rather than providing a genuine perspective of who man is within God's grand universe—a universe that, despite human efforts, is being ultimately renewed by God's sovereign power. Unfortunately, this new human-centered view has caused us to lose sight of the wonder and awe that stem from these eternal verities—truths that have been established since eternity. If human strength and effort were sufficient, then there would be no need for God's unfailing love. But since salvation and renewal are rooted in His sovereign will, we recognize that He delights not in the strength of horses or in human might. We are thrust into a universe governed by laws far beyond our understanding—forces that operate according to His divine decree from the beginning to the end. The complexity and vastness of God's order surpass human comprehension, reminding us that we are limited in our ability to grasp His plans fully. In Scripture, we are compared to the stars shining in the night sky—beings that draw their light from the Creator. We are sustained by His Word, warmed by His love, and our lifespan, as well as the quality of our lives, are determined by His eternal purpose. The protection we enjoy, the blessings we receive, all flow from His divine will. We are privileged to shine as stars because of His predestined choice from eternity, while those outside of Christ are cast into eternal darkness and separation, experiencing only the fleeting sensations of God's renewal before eternal judgment. The reality is that the natural laws governing the universe are upheld and sustained by His Word. We cannot alter the process of renewal or override God's natural order because it is rooted in His eternal decrees. Whenever we think we possess enough strength to assist or accelerate God's work, we are brought low—humbled and broken because we recognize our dependence on His sovereign power. Our efforts are insignificant without His grace. There is nothing we can do to alter God's divine plan for creation—that everything works together ultimately for His glory. He has given us His laws and decrees so that we might be made holy through the power of His Word. If we truly grasped the wonder of His work, we would begin to understand our true purpose in this life. Our problem isn't merely that we can't transform ourselves into morally good people; rather, it's that we fail to be captivated by the awe-inspiring work He is accomplishing to bring all things to their divine conclusion. If only we would lift our hearts in praise and adoration for His greatness, we would be sanctified by the wonder of His majesty.
