When we were born again, we were 'seated in Christ.' Now, we have a “standing” invitation to “sit” with Him on the front porch of the Universe, seeing as He sees—His perspective. As long as we remain inside our private places, we only see what ‘we’ see. But on God's front porch, we see it all.
How often do we pray, “Lord, please help me to see what you are doing in my world and to see what you are doing in my life.” Can't you just hear God saying, “I will be glad to show you what I see and what I am doing. Come join me on the front porch!”
Wow! What an insightful and intelligent consideration!

This sentence is literally "out of this world", wonderful, revolutionary, life-changing!:)
Do you have a front porch too? :)!!
I must give credit to DeVern Fromke who in "Unto Full Stature" inspired me with his term "veranda of the universe." I just took his idea and ran with it!!
ReplyDeleteGreg,
ReplyDeleteBoth ideas--porch and veranda--are inspired. Feel free to "run" some more with Fromke's or any one else's terms.

Hello Greg,
ReplyDeleteDo you know where I can read some DeVern Fromke book excerpts?
Thank you.
you can find him online. though he's passed on, there is a website that sells his books, and I am sure Amazon does as well.
