Hebrews 2:7-8 7 You made them a little lower than the angels; you crowned them with glory and honor 8 and put everything under their feet.” In putting everything under them, God left nothing that is not subject to them. Yet at present we do not see everything subject to them.
I was driving down the road the other day, and ended up behind a large truck. It was going rather slow, and as usual, I was in a hurry. When the road opened up to two lanes going my direction I swung out and proceeded to pass this truck that was sucking up my time. However As soon as I got out in to the next lane I realized that the truck was actually being towed. The truck was not under it’s own power, but I could not see it. It just goes to show that things are not always what they seem. Our lives in this world are very much like that. God has made us a little lower than angels. We are crowned with glory and honor, and everything is subject to us…..but it sure does not seem that way does it. Yet it does not change the fat that God has made it so. I often read where Jesus told His Disciples that if you had faith the size of a mustard seed you could tell a mountain to go into the sea, and it would. We have the ability, but we just cannot see it. We all say the same thing when we read that….”yeah, that would be cool, if it could only happen” We pray for rain, but leave the umbrella at home. We are set to live an eternal life, but are still very focused on this very short one. Everything is subject to us, but often we find it hard to be subjects to ourselves. Faith my friends is the answer, and the key. We have been given the keys to the kingdom, but for some reason we refuse to unlock the door. Now is the time to open your heart, and your life to Christ. Don’t just crack the door to peer outside, throw open the door and let the Lord flood your life. You want to change your life? Change it. You want to start from scratch on a new life, then do it. If you want that mountain in your life to move then tell it to move! We are given the tools that we need the day we were born. We wake up each morning, and go to sleep each night with them. Utilize them during your twelve hours of daylight. The Trinity surrounds you, protects you, paves the way for you, and will sustain you. It might not seem like you have much control, but I tell you the truth, God left nothing not subject to you. Draw on your faith, foster it, nurture it, develop it, and utilize it. Faith the size of a Mustard seed…..something so small, yet it will grow into something larger than life.
God Bless,
