You know what is wonderful to me?
God's government works even when I do it wrong.
Hallelujah.
Examples:
When I love, even though I do it woefully imperfectly—because it's from God's government—love still hits its mark and achieves its purposes¹.
His love never fails, despite my deficiencies².
Hallelujah.
When I gather with other believers, seeking God's face—even though they're not perfect, I'm not perfect, and even though we do and say so many things wrong—I still find Him.
I still learn something more.
I still grow closer to Him³.
Where two or three are gathered for Him, He's there, despite our getting so much wrong⁴.
Grace.
He does the work. He achieves His purposes, even with broken vessels that are submitted to Him⁵.
The word of our Lord Jesus is true: “Seek the Kingdom of God”⁶, “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.”⁷
God's government works even when I get it wrong.
You know what this does for me?
It removes the fear of death⁸.
It removes the risk of failure.
It allows me to go forward boldly and to be about our Father's business without fear⁹.
His word will not return void¹⁰—and that's what I'm stepping out on TODAY—and this is key—in pursuit of Him.
