The WORLD says: “You are all the same in God’s eyes.”
The BIBLE shows: God LOVES all – but He FAVORS some (individuals, nations, families, etc. ) above others.
It is hard for us to conceive that a JUST GOD must make distinctions between His sons and daughters; His created. In our flesh we cry “UNFAIR” when we consider that our peer might actually be ‘more blessed’ than we are blessed.
Yet, God has not been arbitrary or unfair in the dispensing of His favor. He does not say, ‘NO YOU CAN’T HAVE’. He merely says, “IF YOU…THEN YOU”; which is Cause and Effect, Sowing and Reaping, Action and Reaction. God has been 100% FAIR with all His sons and daughters because He has told them ALL the ground rules for success and for victory in life.
God has CLEARLY explained to us HOW things work and even how He works. And having been given that information, through the Bible, through the preachers, through the gifts of the Spirit, we are left without excuse or complaint. We have been given the CAR and the KEYS and the MANUAL, but we have been forewarned that HOW WE DRIVE will determine our destiny. God makes DISTINCTION based on our choice of will! He has even availed Himself to us for advice, assistance, and admonition. It is we who must decide to ‘call upon His name’ and ‘pray’ and ‘seek’ and ‘knock’ and ‘ask’. If we DO not, then we get not; and the distinctions between us all will grow wider and wider as decision after decision is made.
The GOOD NEWS is that you have at your disposal an entire KINGDOM of resources, and can even ERASE (have forgiven) the mistakes of the past, in order that you may at any time pick up your life and CHANGE your final state of existence. You can become ANYTHING in God that you desire, but it would be wise to find out from Him where you fit in His will. If you choose to go it alone, don’t complain about your state. God did not STOP YOU; it was you that stopped God.
The Scripture says, “I have set before you LIFE and DEATH — CHOOSE LIFE”. We must all make that choice every day. God is waiting for your decisions; don’t waste your opportunity.
