Many persons claim to believe in the sovereignty of God’s existence but they do not believe they need to serve God in light of that fact.
They fabricate their self-willed delusions where they are the steward who determines what servitude to God should look like.
They admit that God is the Creator and Sustainer of all things alive and to come.
They pray for God’s teaching of serenity and for His supreme protection.
Blessings become synonymous with prayer because the only thing they desire is for God to bless their wills.
Meanwhile God is stretching out His hand of purpose but the people continue to snide at Him.
Treacherous are the people who care not to know and serve the God who created them.
Yet, God still extends a grace so merciful to shelter and save all these treacherous men.
God’s desire is for no man to perish and so His ultimate will is for us to be in relationship with Him.
What kind of God is this that He would want to relate with fleeting mortals born of sin?
Why does the Holy Spirit desire to reside in us? Why does He pursue dirty hearts to make them clean?
We see where mankind has always been so wicked and adulterous. Logic would say they deserve to be shown no mercy.
While we take God for granted, He is mindful of our hopelessness without His grace.
His love abounds through seedtime and harvest and so He’s given us a formula for eternal life by faith.
The truth is we all have been planted in Earth and we are programmed to produce branches and bear fruit.
If we are not planted in God’s good soil by abundant waters, our growth will be stunted, and our fruit will wither because sin serves to uproot.
So yes you have been planted, but God is asking you “Will you thrive?”
It is God who dries up the green tree and who makes the dry tree flourish and come alive.
Scripture
Ezekiel 17:8-10
It had been planted in good soil by abundant water so that it would produce branches, bear fruit and become a splendid vine.”
‘Say to them, “This is what the Sovereign Lord says: will it thrive? Will it not be uprooted and stripped of its fruit so that it withers? All its new growth will wither. It will not take a strong arm or many people to pull it up by the roots.
It has been planted, but will it thrive? Will it not wither completely when the east wind strikes it – wither away in the plot where it grew?”’
