Whenever I get the chance to travel to a new place, I like to study the area as hard as I can and to appreciate whatever is there to appreciate. Traveling can be the most exciting thing that one set out to do and the same time, it could be the most painful of experiences. Tragic things could happen.
I try noticing the small things that seem unnoticeable. Some countries have places that are quite scenic and usually, those places provide enough reasons to take a few pictures, or maybe a lot.
Journeys can get pretty exhausting. Journeying from one place to another is quite a difficult thing to do. You can imagine the life of the Israelites, they seemed to be on the move. They walked and walked and never seemed to get to their destination. Each new day brought about new challenges. New potholes crossed their paths. When everything seemed right, it never felt normal. Their levels of sanity were questioned. How else could they have lived when the land they sought seemed blurred? How could they have been exhilarated when the lanes on which they walked only seemed a little more blurry?
In Abraham, nations were planted. God spoke to him on several occasions about how he would father a great multitude of people. He would be the father of many nations. He had in him nations as populous as the stars in the sky.
So what did Father Abraham do? He took God’s word. Before we unwrap the cake, we need to understand that cake doesn’t just form as beautifully as it does.
There’s recipes and segments of dough and flour. There’s different kind of ideas. There’s disappointments and different kind of coloring liquids. The cake doesn’t just appear from thin air. Something happens. Before we get the chance of enjoying the foodstuff that is a contributing factor to obesity, we need to understand just how the cake is made.
God created every man with a different kind of purpose interlocked and intertwined within the fabrics of our beings. He designed us to function in a way that would glorify Him. When He created man, He created us man and woman. Our being would then be the glory of God in flesh.
Hold on a minute! There’s scripture for this. God planned for us to glorify Him right from the beginning of the human race. He trusted that His glory would disseminate from one generation to another. When Eden happened, God never stopped there. He still sought after men that would carry His vision forward. He sought from the earth people that would stand in proxy for Him here on Earth. When God wanted to save mankind from his ruins, He didn’t call the avengers! He summoned Jesus and placed in Him salvation!
Genesis 1:26 New Living Translation (NLT) 26 Then God said, “Let us make human beings[a] in our image, to be like us. They will reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the livestock, all the wild animals on the earth,[b] and the small animals that scurry along the ground.”He said, ‘Let us make Human Being in our image.’ It would be safe to conclude that our being images the being of God when we stand in sync.
God has always wanted for us to stay in close proximity to Him. In the Garden of Eden, God walked around and communed with Adam without any difficulty. He just had to speak, and no sooner did He speak than Adam responded.
