God's Useful Invention!
"And we know that all things work
together for good to those who
love God, and to those who are
called according to His
purpose."
Romans 8: 28
Geng Shuai is called China’s “Useless Edison”
because of his impractical inventions, such
as
a sword that doubles as a back scrubber and a
meat cleaver that also serves as a cell phone
case.
God never invented any useless thing!
He has a purpose for all He has made,
including you! Peter wrote this because
of God’s promises and His power, we can
participate in divine nature (2 Peter
1:4).
That is, we can become more and more
like Christ, serving Jesus just as our Lord
served His Father. That’s what it means
to be “called according to His purpose.”
When we
lean on the power and promises
of God, we become more like Jesus and less
like this world. We are useless in ourselves,
but find our purpose in Him. We become
vessels fit for the Master’s use.
Draw from His power and live on
His promises. He will increasingly
fulfill His purpose in
you.
"We exist to exhibit God, to display
his glory. We serve as canvases for
his brush stroke, papers for his pen,
soil for his seeds, glimpses of his
image."
