We learn some surprising, to me facts about Qatar, and Bahrain!
Eternal life is a dynamic life.
"And this is eternal life, that they may know Thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom Thou hast sent.
The very fact that we are learning to know and apprehend our Creator and Savior is an active process and will be for all eternity.
The import of our new life in Christ means it is a real relationship we have and, therefore, dynamic. It only follows then as we learn of Him; through communion, our conversations and prayers are also dynamic.
The third definition of dynamic is:
Characterized by continuous change, activity, or progress, or as we assert, a wrestling match. Once the whistle blows, all the static components of prayer become dynamic.
We see:
Our purposes and God's purposes are often at odds with each other. In John 12, after being confronted with Jesus' words about His death, the people say:
"The multitude therefore answered Him, "We have heard out of the Law that the Christ is to remain forever; and how can You say, 'The Son of Man must be lifted up'? Who is this Son of Man?"
John 12:34
We learn that God gives us what is good and wise; sometimes, it looks different than we asked. Abraham may have wondered at the destruction of Sodom, but God said yes to Abraham's true concern:
Thus it came about, when God destroyed the cities of the valley, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when He overthrew the cities in which Lot lived.
Genesis 19:29
And even late in life, David and Nathan learned it is not good to presume on the promises of God:
4 "Go and tell David My servant, 'Thus says the LORD, "You shall not build a house for Me to dwell in;
1 Chronicles 17:4
Our So What?
We are all in the process of learning just who this "Son of Man" is through our dynamic conversation with Him.
Glory to our Savior, Jesus the Christ.
