Minding The Kingdom of God
January 4, 2023 Leave a comment
When you are busy, furtively, in your extensively futile #sidehustle of developing a marking scheme to…errrrr…’weigh’ towards disqualifying …anyone and everyone who doesn’t meet YOUR CRITERIA AND UNDERSTANDING OF BELONGING TO GOD…from their called-out position and God uses just one verse to tell you to mind your own business and let Him handle His children:
“Jesus said to him, βIf I will that he remain till I come, what is that to you? You follow Me.β John 21:22
#EnterHisRest#RestFromFutility
And then He adds, just in case I did not fully understand the above – which He knows I did
“βThis is what The LORD says β
the Holy One of Israel, and its Maker:
concerning things to come,
do you question me about my children,
or give me orders about the work of my hands?
It is I who made the earth
and created mankind on it.
My own hands stretched out the heavens;
I marshalled their starry hosts.
I will raise up Cyrus in my righteousness:
I will make all his ways straight.
He will rebuild my city
and set my exiles free,
but not for a price or reward,
says The LORD Almighty.β”
Isaiah 45:11-13
Ahem…let me just go this way and seek His Mind and Heart about how to be ABSOLUTELY yielded as I follow Him today…and mind my OWN business as He defines it. I rest .
Shalom
