God’s story

We are all characters in God’s story.

The Bible helps us to see that everything that is unfolding around us (on earth, throughout the cosmos) as well as all that has taken place throughout history, has not been the respective stories of billions of individual people but rather the one singular story of God’s love, creativity, grace and redemption.

So often it feels like we are each the main characters in the movies of our own lives. We are tempted to believe that the world revolves around us and that everything that happens either serves to help or hinder our forward progress towards our destiny.

But again, let us be reminded that everything that takes place is in fact a smaller story within the greater story of God’s existence, God’s character and God’s activity.

We get to be a part of His story, but we all have to choose what part we will play.

Will we be a part of His family? Will our story-line be aligned with the main plot of honoring and glorifying Him and seeing the world reconciled, redeemed and restored?

Or will ours be a dead-end story-line where we partner with one or more of the enemies of the Lord and find ourselves defeated and ultimately removed from the “happily ever after” that is guaranteed to God and His beloved?

Please, remember that the story is all about God. He is the main character. He is the protagonist. He is the One who is working towards “happily ever after” with His beloved and truly every enemy that dares to come against Him will find themselves removed from the scene.
