The Mystery of His Joyful, Love-filled Plan

         Have you had your JOY JUICE today?  Drink it and share it…you don’t have to explain it!

            In Job 11:7-9, he expresses some of the questions that capture the heart of many Christians. Let's read these three verses: “Can you fathom the mysteries of God? Can you probe the limits of the Almighty? They are higher than the heavens above—what can you do? They are deeper than the depths below—what can you know? Their measure is longer than the earth and wider than the sea.”

            There are some things that are so magnificent that we truly can’t wrap our finite brains around them.  One of those things is the goodness, the magnificence of God.  Encompassed in His goodness are:

·        Grace

·        Sacrifice

·        Redemption

·        Salvation

·        Mercy

·        Inexpressible love and joy

to name a few.  All of these gifts are saturated in the mystery of His plan. 

While the New Testament speaks of several different mysteries, there is one that stands out in greatness of importance.  It is revealed to us by the apostle Paul, and contains the details of God’s grand redemptive plan. I say the details of the plan, because redemption in general is a theme that pervades the whole Bible. http://www.mysteryofgod.net/

            Let’s take a minute right now to thank God for the mystery of His loving plan.  Because of Jesus, we can have everlasting joy.
