You are complete in Him—Colossians 2:10 (NKJV)


 

Horizonal Thinking

 

Psalm 139:14: I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.

We must stand in awe before God and his marvelous creation.  When we consider the intricacies of life, when stare into the depths of space through a powerful telescope, when peer into a living cell with an electron microscope, we must wonder at the intelligence that design, created, and sustains it all.

Of all that God created, I find human beings the most fascinating.  In addition to all of the incredible features of the physical animal, God displayed his creative power in devising human beings as free-will creatures.  In a universe where he has ultimate and absolute control, God created human beings with the power of choice and self-control.

Now, that last phrase—the power of choice and self-control—presents us with an interesting phenomenon.  We make a choice to control ourselves!  To give us that kind of power means that God has a high level of confidence in us.  To allow us to decide how we will direct our lives God has taken an enormous risk.  God lets us be us!  God does not micromanage us! 

We should take the cue from God in our relationships.  We must exhibit confidence in other people.  We must take risks and invest ourselves in them. We must let others be themselves.
