Text: Psalm 33:6-9
Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan
Exhortation:
When you watch a movie, you will only see the casts or actors on screen. However, on that set there are several crew members working behind the scenes- the cameramen, gaffers (light guys), movie director, production manager, script supervisor etc
Someone has described the world as a drama stage with humans as actors and several other invisible players working behind the scenes, both good and evil.
The fact that you don’t see the players behind the scenes does not mean they don’t exist. To a superficial observer, the heavens and earth came into existence on their own. But behind the scenes, we know that God spoke the Heavens and the Earth into existence- Genesis 1-2
In today’s text we learn that , “By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, And all the host of them by the breath of His mouth. He gathers the waters of the sea together ]as a heap; He lays up the deep in storehouses.
“Let all the Earth fear the Lord; Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him. For He spoke, and it was done;He commanded, and it stood fast.” Psalm 33:6-9
Behind the scenes the Lord Jesus Christ is seated at the right hand of the Father, praying for you; he is busy interceding for you day and night- Romans 8:34. You may not see any evidence of his intercession immediately, but for as many as put their trust in him.
Prayer Nugget: Thank you Jesus for working behind the scenes, interceding for me. I will love you and do your will till the very end.
Bible in One Year: 1 Chronicles 17-19
