"Purpose Driven"

"Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come." (Psalms 102:13)
If there is one thing that I have learned about God, it's that He is always faithful to complete what He has started, in His time. That is another amazing thing about the Bible, the Bible can only be the inspired Word of God, because of all that the Bible says will happen, has happened, or is to come. To fulfill all that without God making it all happen, is almost as likely as the theory of evolution being true. Do you known how many Christians actually believe in evolution more than they believe all that is written in the Bible? I think the actually count of them would be staggering. I have spoken to a few of them over the years, and they are very firm in what they believe. I have even had conversations with people who say that they are Christian, yet they believe that God has created many earths; we are just one of many inhabited planets throughout the universe. Whatever, if it's not in the Bible, then it's not true; that's what I have to say about it. But I will say this: God has created man with the ability to create; some to the glory of God, and some, not so much. I heard a message the other day about this; maybe it was yesterday, these last couple of days have been such a blur. But the pastor was speaking about how God had placed man in the garden to groom it and care for it; then using man's creative mind, God had Adam name all the animals. Think what you want, but a mind is a terrible thing to waste, so God put Adam's mind to work. It was God who first named man, but it was Adam who named woman; naming her such, because she came forth from man, and bone of his bone, and flesh of his flesh. (Genesis 2:23) Zion is actually Jerusalem, they are one of the same. That said, they actually do have separate meanings, much as Jacob is Israel, yet the names mean different things. Without getting into the long, drawn-out story, let's just pretend that we are all on the same page, and just leave it at that. The way I see it, God has a way of getting His people to worship Him; it might take some kind of miracle to make it happen, but regardless, He has a way. Don't think for a minute that Israel has somehow fallen away from God's graces, because God will never go back on his Word, ever! And, if you want some kind of proof, you only need to take a very brief study of the New Jerusalem that is spoken of in Revelation 21; it is all about God's promises and purposes for Israel...
"Think of it this way. If a father dies and leaves an inheritance for his young children, those children are not much better off than slaves until they grow up, even though they actually own everything their father had. They have to obey their guardians until they reach whatever age their father set. And that's the way it was with us before Christ came. We were like children; we were slaves to the basic principles of this world. But when the right time came, God sent his Son, born of a woman, subject to the law. God sent him to buy freedom for us who were slaves to the law, so that he could adopt us as his very own children. And because we are his children, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, prompting us to call out, "Abba, Father." Now you are no longer a slave but God's own child. And since you are his child, God has made you his heir." (Galatians 4:1-7) NLT
