He's Made It

Psa 118:24  This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. 
	
	Jesus referred to the children when choosing an example of relationship with the 
Father in His kingdom. I remember going on these big trips as a child with five of us 
kids, Mom and Dad, all scrunched in the car. Somehow we survived without video games 
or movies or any of the entertainment tools that seem to make present day treks possible. 
I remember we went to Arizona one summer and then, another time we went through 
Yellowstone and Glazier National Parks on the way up to the Northwest. Our biggest trip, 
though, was one summer that we went all the way to Miami Beach for a big meeting of 
our church organization. 
	Some things that were common about each of these trips were: they were talked 
about ahead of time, plans were made to determine the path and means by which we 
would proceed, the necessary resources were gathered and prepared, and then, the whole 
trip was executed according to the plan, with a few options along the way. There was one 
other thing about each one of these incredibly memorable and cherished trips. I had 
nothing to do with any of these things of which I've listed. I didn't talk about it ahead of 
time, I didn't plan any of the routes, I didn't prepare even my own necessities. I just went 
along with what had been designed and prepared and executed by my parents. I just 
enjoyed to the fullest everything that they went to such great effort to make possible, 
without having to carry any of the responsibility or risk. I just got to be glad in the trip 
that they had made. 
	There is a part that we need to play in fulfilling our purpose in the kingdom, but 
this journey that we're taking here on earth is one that has already been talked about by 
our Father. He has already prepared and provided for all the necessities along the way. 
The route and all the wonderful sites along the way have been designed for our 
enjoyment and fulfillment. Our pleasure and gladness will be its greatest, though, when 
we just go along with what He has already expended great effort to prepare. We don't 
really have to concern ourselves with any of the details for which our Father has already 
made provision. He's made it. Our part is to just enjoy it– be glad.
