Day 2 - 3: Who God is, and What I am Not

I have combined the two lessons coz of...err..illumination issues (read power cuts at home).

So here goes. Ps this is strictly my view of how things went down...

GOD...in the dateless past created the Heavens and the Earth..perfect!!! (no...we have not gotten to the formless and void part yet) Job actually states that the stars sung for joy when He unveiled our planet to the Hosts of the heavens, and indication it was not quite the hunk of rock it is now.

Fitting with its radiant beauty, he assigned Lucifer as head of the planet. Lucifer, called the son of the Morning, second only in beauty and glory to the Bright Morning Star. What more could a man (or angel for that matter) want!!!!

But then something went horribly wrong. Details are scanty, but what we do know is that Lucifer decided he could be equal to God, that he too could make his throne room in the Heavens.

Now, if God did create us to do good works, and prepared the same for us in advance, from the foundation of the world..then can you not see it?!?!?! Suddenly Lucifer is meant to subject himself to some lowly terrestrial, biological being!! And not only has God planned to create this "thing", He planned to create it IN HIS IMAGE!!! ON LUCIFERS PLANET!!! Something had gone horribly wrong with the Godhead, Lucifer thought. This is NOT the way you run a universe. Why if I was in charge, reasoned Lucifer, no such thing would be permitted! The bottom would fall out of the space-time continuum if we let such things slide. If I was in charge.....

And that is where all Hell broke loose (literally).

Fast forward a bit: fight with Lucifer, ensuing destruction of the earth (insert "and the earth became formless and void" here), recreation, welcome Homo Superious!!! (Sapiens is a poor reflection of Superious). And what do we do?!?! Make like Lucifer and try to be like God!! Its ironic the Devil used the exact same temptation he fell for to get us...he most likely didn't have too many ideas. I mean, what's the worst you could do if you were a bunch of fallen angels floating thru the universe?!?

So the point: God had me in mind all along!! I was ALWAYS part of the plan!! I wasn't a date night accident, He had seen me from beyond, when there was nothing to see!!! I was always meant to be, and therefore always had a part to play. And no, not even my rebellion from God could stop Him from wanting me. So He sent His only Son so that I could see this, and turn back to Him, and be everything I was meant to be, and do all that I was given power to do.

Thank you Jesus.
