More on: http://ahavajerusalem.orgThere are many brothers and sisters who feel that because they have sinned and failed God at some time in their past lives, therefore they cannot fulfill God’s perfect plan for their lives now.Let us look at what the Scriptures has to say on this matter, and not lean on our own understanding or our sense of logic.Notice first of all, how the Bible begins.In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth (Gen. 1:1). And the heavens and the earth must have been perfect when God created them, for nothing imperfect or incomplete can ever come forth from His hand.But some of the angels whom He had created fell away, and this is described for us in Isaiah 14:11-15 and Ezekiel 28:13-18. It was then that the earth came into the condition described in Gen. 1:2, “formless, empty and dark”The rest of Gen. 1 describes how God worked on that shapeless, empty, dark mass and made something so beautiful out of it that He Himself declared it to be “very good” (Gen. 1:31). We read in Genesis 1:2, 3 that the Spirit of God moved over the earth, and God spoke His Word – and this was what made the difference.What is the message in that for us today?Just this that no matter how much we may have failed or how much we may have made a mess of things, God can still make something glorious out of our lives.God had a perfect plan for the heavens and the earth when he created them. But this plan had to be set aside because of Lucifer’s failure. But God remade the heavens and the earth and still produced something very good out of it.Now consider what happened next.God made Adam and Eve and started all over again. God must have had a perfect plan for them too, which obviously did not include their eating of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. But they did eat of the forbidden tree and frustrated God’s original plan for them – whatever the plan may have been.Logic would now tell us that they could not fulfill God’s perfect plan any longer. Yet we see that when God came to meet them in the garden, He does not tell them that they would now have to live only on His second best for the rest of their lives. No. He promises them in Genesis 3:15 that the seed of the woman would bruise the head of the serpent. That was a promise of Christ’s dying for the sins of the world and overcoming satan on Calvary.
