Reflections 1/7/21: Today’s devotional got me thinking. “When adversity strikes and you thank Me anyway, your trust in My sovereignty is a showpiece in invisible realms.” My choices show up in a spiritual realm? Hmmm… a little sobering. Drove me to Hebrews 12 where it says that we have “a great crowd of witnesses surrounding us,” (referring to all the believers mentioned in Hebrews 11, who have died and gone to Heaven before us.) I for one, when I go to Heaven, do not want to spend my time spying on earthlings! How could Heaven be a joyful place if we witness the constant onslaught of hurtful choices human beings execute on our little blue planet? So I am a bit baffled by this assertion that Heaven and Earth overlap in a voyeuristic way! I hope not! BUT, if my choices to trust You God, especially in times of adversity bless YOUR heart in “invisible realms,” then view away! A “showpiece?” WOW! How motivating is that?! Hmmm… just don’t “showpiece” my (occasional) successes to Satan, (as You did with Job), to get him worked up to prove You wrong!
