From Gary... Reset, reset, reset, reset...



Sometimes I just wish I could fix everything in the world by just using the "reset".  But, would that really work? If Biblical history is any indication- No, it would not!!!

Remember...

Genesis, Chapter 7
 4 In seven days, I will cause it to rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights. Every living thing that I have made, I will destroy from the surface of the ground.” 

  5  Noah did everything that Yahweh commanded him. 

  6  Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters came on the earth.  7 Noah went into the ship with his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives, because of the floodwaters.  8 Clean animals, unclean animals, birds, and everything that creeps on the ground  9 went by pairs to Noah into the ship, male and female, as God commanded Noah.  10 After the seven days, the floodwaters came on the earth. 11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the same day all the fountains of the great deep were burst open, and the sky’s windows were opened.  12 It rained on the earth forty days and forty nights. 

God gave the world a "second chance" with the cleansing of the flood, but something even more dramatic than that was needed.

Consider...

2 Corinthians, Chapter 5
17 ...if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new.  18 But all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Jesus Christ, and gave to us the ministry of reconciliation;  19 namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not reckoning to them their trespasses, and having committed to us the word of reconciliation. 20 We are therefore ambassadors on behalf of Christ, as though God were entreating by us: we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.

Everyone has the daily choice to "reset" their life with Christ. Push your button daily- new day, new commitment. But, the choice is YOURS- listen, do you hear it raining?
