Most of life’s concerns would be solved right here: “Listen to me, all you who are serious about right living and committed to seeking God. PONDER the rock from which you were cut, the quarry from which you were dug.” Isaiah 51:1
Most of the times that we are confused or wonder about where we are going or how to treat another person or whether to give a little more of ourselves or our resources would be less perplexing if we would simply PONDER the God from whose image we are made.
I believe someone (a doc?) once told me that I came from good stock. They knew my parents. So, I could always ask myself, “What would dad or mom do?”
If you don’t (or didn’t) have parent(s) whom you could look up to, God is the great equalizer. If you’re a king or a pauper or just an average person, we are all on level ground when it comes to God through Jesus Christ. Jesus makes a way to that “quarry.”
So, please know that half of life’s battles have to do with how we look at ourselves in relation to our God. Who are you looking to for those answers? Who is the rock that you were cut from? If it’s the neanderthal man, it may come as no surprise that you have an identity crisis.
God invites us to get to know Him. It is in getting to know Him that we come to know ourselves, who we were designed to be… a masterpiece fashioned from a rock that even Michelangelo couldn’t come close to chiseling with such artistry. PONDER that.
