Topic: birthday (05/23/05)
I was born in the winter cold, of December, in 1966. Born in a small, Steel mining town, in rural Pennsylvania. This marked the event of my “natural” birthday and place. However, as God spoke to the mighty Prophet Jeremiah in Jeremiah 1:5 Amp. “Before I formed you in the womb, I knew and approved of you, and before you were born, I separated and set you apart, consecrating you.” That same God, who breathed life’s call into the Prophet Jeremiah, also, mightily and miraculously, breathed life into me, one cold, December morn! The writer for Hebrews, in chapter 13 and verse 8 Amp. States, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.” How exciting, that before I was born in that small country town, in Pennsylvania, that I was already on the mind of God, in that Great City, whose builder and maker, IS God! My birthday, although marvelous the event, is so much more miraculous, in God! Just the knowledge, that before I entered into this world, I was already existing by thought, in the minds eye, of the Creator, God! I was known already in fullness, due to His omniscient wisdom, and then “made known”, to my mom and dad, through His omnipotent power! What a magnificent and marvelous blessing is Gods gift of a birthday! The day before my birth, God knew me, and the day of my birth, I was made known, to everyone gathered around. It is no wonder, the Psalmist David proclaims in Psalms 139:14 Amp. “I will confess and Praise you for the wonder of my birth!” And then, he went on to shout, “Wonderful are your works, and that my inner self knows right well!” How marvelous are, the many works of God! Birthdays truly are one, of those Awesome and Magnificent works! I believe that God, in His own heart, is the first to boldly proclaim, “Happy Birthday”, to each one of us, on that grand day, our birthday!
