Nikola Tesla is the scientist who invented the method of generating
electricity in what we call “alternating current”. Many people regard him as
a greater scientific genius than the better known Alexander Graham Bell.
Phillip Yancey tells an interesting antidote about Tesla. During storms,
Tesla would sit on a black mohair couch by a window. When lightning struck,
he would applaud - one genius recognizing the work of another.
Indeed God’s "genius" abilities far outweigh the most intelligent minds the
world has ever known. This Genius is the mind that created the world and all
that is within it. As Creator, He has ultimate authority over the earth. As
Creator, as you trust Him, He has ultimate authority over the story of your
life. The root concept behind authority is authorship, not as in writing,
but as in origination or creation. One has authority over what one authors.
A creator determines the purpose of His creation and holds all rights to
it.
Did
you hear that? He holds all rights to the purpose of your life? There may be
moments in your life that fear, dread and apprehension cause you to struggle
with the question, “Who is really in charge?”. However, neither you,
your family, your possessions nor your destiny are at the mercy of the enemy
or circumstances. God is not behind your misfortune. He didn’t author it.
However, this same genius is the author and perfector of your faith and your
destiny. How can you not trust such a loving, faithful God, who is the
synonym for superior intelligence? Embrace the revelation, answer the
question…He was, He is and forever shall He be…The
One who is in charge!
"From Him and through Him and to Him are all things (For all things
originate with Him and come from Him; all things live through Him, and all
things center in and tend to consummate and to end in Him). To Him be glory
forever! Amen." Romans 11:36 AMP |
