No one is your God, and you are nobody's God too. We must be careful not to let people play 'God' in our lives. Neither should we also sit down to judge what might happen in the life of others because we are not their God.
DON'T EVER THINK YOU KNOW HOW A MAN WILL END IN LIFE BECAUSE YOU KNOW HIS PAST FOOLISHNESS.
God has a way of confounding the wise with the foolish, and the strong dumbfounded by the weak.
A man's past is God's canvass with which He paints the man's future masterpiece. He specializes in turning ashes into beauty. He is God and He is Lord.
If we have to judge men, then we must judge the righteous judgments of God. We should give mercy and grace where God gives them. We must be long-suffering where God's righteousness suffers long. Yes, just as God judges. Our thoughts for people should be thoughts of good, peace and a future with a glorious end.
Never wish a man's failure or downfall to prove that you were right when you judge. I always ask God never to prove me right with the failure or destruction of one I 'assume' or even know is wrong.
We don't have any point to prove if we are living out God's will in our lives. No one has to be right. All that matters is that we all please God, and His Son Jesus Christ be glorified in us. Once Jesus is glorified, all things will work together for good. It will all end in praise for all.
But in all these, recognizing where and when we miss the mark is very vital. Acknowledging the wisdom of God and quickly submitting to His will is supernatural. Repentance and restoration is the exclusive privilege of the huios (mature sons) of God. The quicker, the more mature. If you were wrong, bear the fruits of repentance and not the stones of pride or the ashes of guilt.
As much as no one is our God, God judges our hearts according to how we love one another as the Spirit of Christ supplies grace. We must not be careless in breaking godly covenants; rebelling in our hearts against God ordained authorities in our lives; speaking or acting in pride; being ungrateful and forgetting those who have truly blessed us.... these things are the fruits of the flesh, fueled by the spirit of worldliness. We must then know when we are tempted and violently resist such complacency.
I exhort you to remember that the God-kind of faith works by love. No one is your God, but your God knows your true devotion by how you treat those He placed in your life. Examine yourself and see if you have recompensed good with neglect and carelessness. Have you treated lightly covenants the Holy Spirit led you into? Have you allowed the peripherals of this passing world to rob you of the eternal verities like faithfulness?
No one is your God, but God can be revealed through one. God can be believed through one. God can be known through one. God can be experienced through one.
"Who is ... we are ministers through whom you believed, AS THE LORD GAVE TO EACH ONE." 1Corinthians3:5
WHEN GOD GIVES YOU ONE AS ABOVE, HE HAS GIVEN YOU A HEAVENLY GIFT. TREAT SUCH ONE AS A GIFT AND NOTHING LESS.
God is set to amaze you again. Don't get hung up on the past. A new season has begun for us. No one else has to believe it, but they will surely celebrate with us (or envy us).
You are a burning and a shining light. Keep radiating His glory. Be blessed.
