He Watches Over Us

Week In Review: As I review my reflections this week, it seems amazing to me how Jesus watches out for us. He warns us about the future because he not only knows the future, but desires that we not be tripped up by those certain future events. Because He is aware of all future events, those challenges and opportunities that appear to be random happenings in our mind are actually history unfolding just as He has decided. Within those events, Jesus guides us in what to say and do, so that what we do contributes to the unfolding drama of God's redemptive plan. Finally, through these events, Jesus not only protects us but also sanctifies us so that day by day we become more like the Savior who is leading us. So when we say that Jesus is with us and watching over us, they are not quaint theological realities that we are talking about. We are talking about the very real presence of a very real God who is made very real in our world as we enter each day as faithful disciples. What a great life we have as believers!
