"Conniption"

"He caused an east wind to blow in heaven: and by his power he brought in the south wind." (Psalms 78:26) Looks like I might need to clean up some; I would rather be below the normal than above; after all, we need to strive with all earnest to be the man or woman God has intended us to be. As I was praying about this morning's post, the usual title appearance did not happen, so I went ahead and typed out the verse first, hoping that it would inspire a message, and it did! God has a way of keeping us in suspense sometimes; but in all truthfulness, if we knew beforehand what He was going to do, we would probably run the other way. For those who like mysterious things, we have some pretty big mysteries to be solved when we get into heaven. For starters, I what to know how it is that things happen in Heaven before they happen here on earth. I mean, what is it that happens for God's will to be done on earth, as it is in Heaven? You know what I think; I think that God's anger produces a violent kind of love, the kind of love you might need in order to run into a fire to save a loved one, or the kind of love you have for others, to throw yourself onto a live grenade. We obviously don't know anything about what happens in Heaven; not even people that have been there can really explain what they saw or heard. But to understand the love of God; well that my friends, was demonstrated here on this earth! That said, can you imagine what was going on in Heaven before the Son of God appeared on this earth? I mean, we see from Luke 2:13-14, how the multitude of heavenly host appeared, singing, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men." It's only obvious that there must have been some kind of excitement in Heaven; after all, that's where they all came from, including the Son of God...
 "And all of this is a gift from God, who brought us back to himself through Christ. And God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, no longer counting people's sins against them. And he gave us this wonderful message of reconciliation. So we are Christ's ambassadors; God is making his appeal through us. We speak for Christ when we plead, "Come back to God!" For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ." (2 Corinthians 5:18-21) NLT
