Did you hear about the little boy at the beach with a hole dug in the sand getting one shell full of water after another and pouring it into the hole. A man asked him what he was doing and he said, "I am pouring the ocean into this hole"
You and I know it can't be done. I hear so many "theologians" trying to pour God into our little minds and it can't be done.
Preachers and professors try to "explain" this truth that we are "chosen in Him before the foundation of the world." There are so many profound truths taught by God that our little finite minds cannot comprehend and we should just rejoice and praise God for it without trying to explain it.
This is one of those. You and I may not be able to fully comprehend this truth nor explain it. I just rejoice in it and praise Him that I am one of His and I rejoice in Him daily and will shout all over glory land when He comes to get me and take me home with Him forever.
So what? Learn to "rejoice in the Lord" and all He is doing and is going to do for us for all eternity. This morning in my prayer time, I did just that and almost went up to glory, with the joy God was putting in my heart. "Rejoice in the Lord and again I say rejoice! Oh, dear people I LOVE YOU, make up your mind this year you are going to rejoice in the Lord and leave the doubts and debates to the "theologians." The servant of he Lord must not strive (debate?).
