There’s this perfect plan, to redeem all the imperfect people. Even the angels, with their impressive knowledge of words can only say “holy” in response to it. Imagine if you will, being an angel, and having a front row seat to not only God’s glory, but also the actualization of His perfect plan. Creation, corruption, carnation, substitution, execution, redemption, exaltation, re-creation. It’s got to be the best show in the house. The angels only having two reactions to the awesome awful amazing story, Praise or rebellion. The devil apparently got jealous, and decided to wage war. But He must not have been paying attention, or He might have guessed how all that might end.

I can’t imagine being God and Knowing how it’s all going to play out. When I was younger I thought how terribly boring it would be to know everything. But as I’ve grown and become a musician and had the chance to lead a band on occasion, I’ve realized how exciting it is to watch things unfold even knowing how it will go. It’s rewarding and exhilarating. There’s nothing else quite like it. But I’m trapped in this linear existence, I can’t wait to meet Him someday and ask for His thoughts on the topic. That anticipation has always been the thing that drives me.
