" ONCE IT IS FINISHED"

"My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and
my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth; you
lay me in the dust of death.
                                                 PSALM 22 : 15


Because Jesus is the theme of the Bible, we
have an acceptable explanation of the great
power of this Book. It has changed the flow
of history, erected empires, and cast down
conquerors and King bring blessing and
success to those who obeyed its precepts and
death and oblivion to those who fought
against it. The highway of human events is
strewn with the wrecks of time, while the
ageless and eternal Book survives. It's power
are many and varied; here is the story.
"Little Johnnie, aged five was bending over a
sheet of paper, guiding his pencil with most
meticulous thoroughness.
His mother, smiling at him fondly, said, "What
are you drawing, Johnnie?"
"A picture of God," said Johnnie, without
looking up. "But, Johnnie, nobody knows what
God looks like," said his mother.
And Johnnie said, "They will, once I'm finished."
    A jokester with a philosophic bent of mind 
might pause after the laugh this joke is very likely 
to get, to point out that there have been many 
grown ups in the history of the world who, like
Johnnies, have had their private "vision of God."
   God always finishes what He begins (Phil. 1:6).
God never speak a word without ensuring that it
come to pass (Isa. 55:11). Christ is both the Alpha
and the Omega, the beginning and the end
 (Rev. 1:8,17). Christ is as much at the end of His
Work as He is at its beginning.
    Jesus was given an enormous mandate. He
was to live a sinless life, remain absolute obedient
to His Father. Even the manner of His death was
to fulfill numerous prophecies that had been fire
told in the scripture (.John 19: 28). Yet, despite
the extremely complex assignment Jesus
received from His Father, He could shout
triumphantly from the cross, it is finished!" Christ
now reside within each believer, "Once little
Johnnies Said, they will once I'm finished!" His
assignment today is to complete God's will for us.
    what is it God wants to do in you? And me also
have you allowed Him to complete what had
begun? He will not force you to receive all that He
has for your life. If God's work has not been
brought to in fruition in you, it is not that Christ
has not been diligently working toward that end.
Review the things God has said to you. Are there
promises God has made to you that you have
refuse to allow Him to complete? If so, commit to
yield your will to God today!
