From Disapproval to Life.

You disapprove, because you see the faults. The faults of life. The faults in that person, in that Christian. The faults in that mistake, that accident, that circumstance. You see the faults, in you, in yourself. And you disapprove. How could God be in the faults? How?

For you stay stuck in the visible, in the here and now. All the while God proclaims, "I have called you to a higher purpose." Because it's His Kingdom that reigns over the faults of the here and now, and the faults of the who and what. His Kingdom reigns over the faults of the life you've been given.

So if God reigns, over all, are you willing to see Him? The Invisible One, working in the visible events and people of this earth. Are you willing to look for Him? The Sovereign One, working all things together for good. Are you willing to seek Him? To know Him? Are you willing?

Because there is only one LORD God Almighty, Who is sovereign over all, even the mistakes, the failures, and the sin. He is sovereign over it all. So where do you go, what do you do, when the mistakes consume your thoughts, when the failures claim your identity, and when the sin over-powers you? Where do you go? What do you do? It determines your willingness.

For the question really is, what does Almighty God do, where does the Sovereign One go? You know it. Deep down, you know it, that that is what your heart is really asking. What and where is God? In the disapproval of life, we all ask the same question. And from there, the question becomes, are you willing? To take the next step, are you willing, to see, to look for, to seek, and to know God, in your disapprovals of life? Are you willing?

For that is where Life is found! Praise God for the disapprovals of life that cause us to look up to the only One Who is Faithful!! That you may seek, that you may know, Him, the Bread of Life.
