The Big Plan

So I was reading with Ashley tonight and read a passage that kinda struck me in a different way than you may expect or think. I'll share:

" So then you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with the saints, and members of God's household, built on the foundationof the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus Himself as the cornerstone. The whole building is being fitted together in Him and is growing into a holy sanctuary in the Lord, in whom you also are being built together for God's dwelling in the spirit" Ephesians 2:19-22

The more that I study and emmerse myself in the Word of God the more I begin to see the majestic Sovereignty of our Mighty Lord. The Word of God is God's revelation of Truth to and for us, therefore the more we read and study the greater and more majestic the picture of our Lord becomes to us. "In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God; He was with God in the beginning" Plain and simple we limit our view of the God we say we serve when we neglect to study His revelation to us....Himself (The Word). Anyway, having said this, when I began reading this passage from Ephesians the phrase "...the whole building is being fitted together in Him...." kept sticking in my mind. This seems like a continual and constant "fitting together" if you will. A continual working towards an end. What I am getting at is that when I read this passage I see the Sovereign Lord at work within His master plan for the universe that began being fashioned from creation and is still continually being fashioned today. The neat thing that I realized is that if I am a true believer than I am part of that sovereign plan of our Master. I am constantly being fitted together in the Lord so that once "I have finished the race marked out for me" I hear the words, "well done my good and faithful slave". Then I will be able to "look back" and see how I did fit in the Lord's sovereign plan and hopfully faithfully continued the work so that those that are to follow me can build upon what the Lord used me for to fit them for their place among the building of the Master Plan.

Thanks
Matt (Jeremiah 17:7-8)
