Is God really the best thing that happened and will ever happen to us?
Yes we sing always that He is the best thing that happens to us,but the question is how is He the best thing that happens to us?Why is He the best thing that happens to us? What is the evidence that He is the best thing that happens to us? How can God be the best thing that happened to us and we are not even the least thing that happens to Him here on earth? Can God sing in heaven that we are the best thing that happened to Him here on earth?
God is indeed the best thing that happened to us.His consistency of mercy,love,grace to us despite our inability to measure up proves that He is the best thing that happened to us. God gave up His only son for us because we are the best things that happened to Him. How do we therefore prove that we are His best? Is it by going to church daily, by declaring it by word of mouth? No! Going to church in itself isn’t a bad thing, we gather to draw strength, to sharpen ourselves so that we go and reflect God in the world. Do our choices, our decisions, our preferences, our actions reflect the truth we have heard and that God is the best thing that happened to us?
God asked Abraham to offer his lone son Isaac to Him. Abraham had waited for Isaac for 25years but Abraham proved to God that He is the best thing that happened to him and not Isaac so he went to offer Issac to God. How do we in our actions and choices prove that God is the best thing that happened to us when we choose our jobs, our families, our education over God. Its easy to complain that I had a class, I was at work, it was rainy, I hadn’t transport fare, my child was sick, that’s why I couldn’t come to church or Bible studies. But truth is where your treasure is there your heart will be. Its easy to confess love for someone,but time proves love. You find a boy who says he loves this girl but when he finds out the truth about the girl over time, love dies. We claim to love God, but we can’t stand the test of time. We are passionate at the begining but mid way we give up. When we say God is the best thing that happens to us, we should break limits for him. We’re able to break limits for the things of the world, the things of mammon but we meander with God. We should consecrate our hearts and all for the one who is the best thing. Imagine how much money, time, attention,care we dish out to those we love,is it the same with God whom we say is the best thing? If its same,isn’t it supposed to be more because He is the best thing that happened to us?
Brethren, “TRUTH” is the best thing that happened to us,because its only by truth that we know God better. Jn 10:14 says “we have seen His glory by grace and truth. ” To really discover God there is the essence of truth. When He reveals truth to our souls it sharpens us to know what His glory is and what it is not. Truth leads to eternal life but falsehood leads to eternal damnation. If a life is full of truth, you can’t miss heaven. Its truth that guarantees man a place in eternity. When the devil comes and shows us his glories which are so attractive we should be able to overcome because we have a higher truth in us. We must live in accordance with Gods standards to prove we have his truth in us and that He is the best thing that happened to us. We’re not saved till we make heaven. So keep working out your salvation daily. Let yesterday’s achievement remain for yesterday, the day we stop growing in Christ we start decaying. Let’s keep working out our salvation daily and in our daily activities prove that He is the best thing that happened to us.
