Life is no mistake!

crown

Gal 4:4  But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,

I have been thinking about this passage from a long-time and here are some of my thoughts. At the precise exact moment in time the Roman empire came to power, and at the exact moment in time seizures sent forth a decree to tax the world, at the exact moment in time Christ was born in Bethlehem, at the exact moment in time there was a governor named Pontius Pilate who came to rule, at the exact moment in time Caiaphas the high priest was a high priest, these were no mistakes on the contrary they were divinely planned people who came to rule.

But I find there is much more than just this you see God's hand was intricately involved in each and every one of these incidences, but there was a tree that was planted and this tree was guarded by God for this tree has a special-purpose this tree grew because God wanted to grow four it would one day bear Christ. Can you imagine forging the knife that you knew would be very knife that would kill you. There were also wild thorns which grew and were guarding by God for they would form the crown that will be placed upon Christ. There was an animal that was born and lived so that it would die to form a cat of nine tails that would beat Christ. The greatest hardship the universe has ever known has not been the absence of God's hand, but is in fact the very presence of God.

But how does this affect our life today? Realizing that Christ's trial was no accident, but rather the trial of Christ was the very instrument that brought glory to God. As you and I look at our trials and hardships of today May we realize that God is present in our very trials and he will be guiding and directing as he always does. May we further realize that my trial maybe for the benefit of somebody else. So let us not complaining but rather glory in our infirmities for when we are weak Christ is strong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
