What if you woke up one morning and discovered you were living the wrong life? What would you do? There is no guarantee in this world that this wouldn’t happen. How would you handle it? “I have the wrong profession.” “I made a losing investment.” “I leaped before I looked.” “If I could just cancel my mistake, forget it, and move on.” Life in this world seldom affords this privilege. We can’t erase the past. What we sow we shall also reap. Two plus two will equal four regardless of how we seek to ignore, forget, or disregard. The natural way results in natural consequences.
That is why we must reach beyond the natural – or better, be reached by what is beyond the natural. Only the supernatural can cope with and overcome the natural.
We must invite God into the equation. He arranged it – only He can interrupt it.
If I am going the wrong direction (and left to natural devices) nature doesn’t have the capability of changing itself. To put it another way, “I can only do what I can do which is completely limited to me. I need outside help.”
God has a plan and purpose for me. On this course old things are passed away – all becomes new.
I can learn from the past. I can be set free from its control. God in Christ Jesus can get me out of the trap. What will move toward disaster can be directed toward eternal victory.
If I woke up one morning and discovered I am living the wrong life this can be the launch platform to open eyes and heart and eternal security.
