Obscure, amorphis, inconsequential, paltry meaningless-adjectives that denote worthlessness
"If its in the Bible, God made it a point for it to be there." -Chuck Missler
Gen 1.1-2. Our earth is in a backwater solar system of an even more podunk galaxy called the Orion Arm. Our solar system is 26 thousand light years away from what we might understand to be the center of our galaxy. Our galaxy is a piece of chewed peanut floating in the far reaches of a Pacific Ocean of galaxies, nebulas, and superclusters. Our "place in this world" is so overwhelmingly obscure, inconsequential, amorphis, paltry, and meaningless we have never in the history of mankind been even indirectly contacted by any alien forms of life. In short, we are so far from the center of anything, we may as well not even exist.
But we do.
1 Cor 1.27-29. Our podunk backwater sticks is exactly the kind of place God likes to do what He does. I Am. I Will. I Do. You see, in the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. And the earth was formless and void. Darkness was upon the face of the formless vacuous waters. But then something happened. The "I Will" of God came to just hover over those obsconsequentorphisious waters. The "I Will" could have only been sent by the "I Am," with the "I Do" waiting not more than a light year away for His part. I wonder what caught God's eye. Oh yeah, He must have been looking for the most nothing nothing, because that's where He showed up. Nothing good. Nothing beautiful. Nothing of value. A formless void. Less than nothing. Obscure, inconsequential, amorphis, paltry, meaninglessness. Just hovering... how long? Were there ripples generated by that hovering "I Will?" Stirrings on the deep's face? Was there an agitation on the surface? What did it mean? Was there desire? Was there survey? Appraisal? An extrappalation of an idea. Who can fathom the mind of God? Who can surmise the direction of the Holy Spirit? Who can foretell the explosive appearance of a new thing by the creative genius of the Son of God? I Am. I Will. I Do.
So when the crown of His creation was drowning in the sin that it made, He already had a plan. There was a tree, a forbidden fruit, a serpent, and a woman who was being ignored by her husband... there was a curse on the serpent, a curse on the ground, and a promise of redemption which was planned before there was anything. We messed up, we are victims of our own sin, of evil men. God saw it all longer than all the ages ago. He saw the thing we did in secret, the anger, the greed, the lust in us all and already had a plan to bring us back to Him. In a backwater, nothing little sheep-stinking town called Bethlehem, there was a stirring, a woman in labor, an infant's first breath, a baby crying in a cave for animals... Luke 2 is His Masterpiece.
If you are breathing, He has His eye on YOU! On YOU! NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR YAHWEH!!! And you are the apple of His eye.
