God always does what he plans

Sunday November 7th, Ephesians 1: 11 God always does what he plans, and that's why he appointed Christ to choose us. God created all of humanity, all that exists, and pronounced it not just good, but very good. God’s intention is that all of humanity and all of creation is to live in harmony with God and with each other. We humans have yet to learn that lesson and after all of human history up to this point are busy trying to figure out who is the biggest “big deal.” Our latest election was one filled with not with hope and new ideas, but despair and fear. We spend far more on war than we do on health care and now many are trying to dismantle the small inroads we have made on that front. I sometimes wonder what the world would be like if our largest export was good rather than weapons? But there is still hope, we are created in the image of God, not so much in looks as in heart. There is still hope that one day we will learn to live as brothers and sisters. Pray and live, there is still hope.
