The Alpha of Perfect Provisioning

UV 3177/10000 The Alpha of Perfect Provisioning
God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.
Hebrews 11 v 40
God is our permanent parent and as a parent, He desires to provide the best for His God-believing and God –honouring children. We honour God with our faith in Jesus. Our lives are sonar-power or powered by the Son of God. In Jesus, He has provided a better covenant and a better experience of faith for we are declared perfect in Christ. Our faith forefathers only saw the foreshadow but we live in the time of fulfilment of the covenant promises of God. Jesus being God and being absolutely good with no trace of sin is the perfect sacrifice to sanctify all mankind for eternity. We have a more complete revelation in Jesus than our forebears.
It is written in scripture that God has plans to prosper us and not to harm us, to give us hope in the present life and an endless future in eternity. His plans are also higher than our thoughts, higher than our imagination, too. His plan and purpose for our lives are higher and better than anything that our finite minds can conceive for ourselves. Hence, it is best to trust in His plan and how He works it out in our lives. We can relate to Him and collaborate with His plan only by faith. But our faith in Him will enable us to get a vision of His plan and purpose for our lives, initially dimly but as we go it will become more clear and certain.
We need to constantly seek the perfect will of God in our lives as against the permissible will. We also need to mirror the talk and walk of Jesus in our lives since we are made in His image. The perfection of our character and conversation are some of the biggest on-going challenges any believer faces all his life. Using our time, talents and opportunities to declare, experience and manifest the goodness and love of God are ways in which we can seek to be perfect like our Father in heaven.
