Heaven's Great Work

December 6

Some people believe that though there is indeed a Creator God who fashioned the universe, He is not involved in the affairs of the vast creation of His hand today. They subscribe to the theory that He made everything, wound it up and then pretty much left it to itself.

This erroneous notion flies in the face of all the evidence. We who have prayed and received answers to our prayers would be among those who would testify to His profound involvement in the affairs of men. Many scientists understand that concepts like gravitational pull would fail without His keeping power.

If physical evidence in the natural realm is not sufficient to convince us that God sees and hears and cares about what is going on in the universe He fashioned, we have the words of Jesus in John 5:17 that attest to the fact that the One who made us endeavors continually to accomplish His plan for His people. Here the Lord says, “My Father is still working and I am working also.”

The primary work that God is striving to complete is the salvation of souls. That is the great scheme of Heaven—to bring as many as will believe home to glory. The Holy Spirit that stirs in your heart is striving to lead you home—God’s great and glorious work then, the work that was established in Heaven (Revelation 13:8) and completed by Jesus on the cross is to share heaven with you, with me
