Living Epistle
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
Hebrews 13:8
I was sitting out in my garden listening to a message recap from our church services and seeking God. I had been doing this 90 days through the Bible with another church group and we came upon the scriptures in Leviticus where God gave Moses specific instructions for the Israelites and how they were to worship Him. I was taken aback at how specific God was in the instructions He gave Moses.
All those thoughts were coming together in my head as I looked down and saw ants moving around on the pavement. I heard the Holy Spirit say that all men are living epistles written by God and read by men. As I watched the ants, He said “You see them and it looks like they have no idea where they are going. But they are so focused on a task, finding food and taking it back to their colony.”
“If my people who are protected by me and guided by me would just be like these ants they would find themselves in so much joy. The ants never worry about where things are coming from, all they do is look for food. They just fulfill their purpose.” He said, “I have made you, and you will never know exactly what I am doing, but I have written your life to be a testimony to others. If you will just be like these ants and share your testimony with others you will find that you are exactly where you are supposed to be.”
I sat there watching the ants a little longer. I noticed some had picked up some crumbs, and then they were gone. At this point some were even crawling on me, as I brushed them off of me God reminded me that He gently directs us on our way. We do not have to worry about what is next or how things are going to happen, that part is already written in the book. We are the living epistle for Christ!
