What if?

       “What if?” The ramifications of this question in regards to the promises of Almighty God are enough to make one salivate with uncontrollably intensive and extensive joy! What if it were simple and predictable obedience that indeed brought about our God's fighting for us in our daily battles rather than our convoluted and erratic defiance depicting our striving against Him? What if, in the assumption of our loyalty to God, we received, in fact, what was promised? How should this affect us from then onward? Would logic not call to our attention that we should continue on? “...while He who began a good work in us will continue it on to completion.” Should a preceding beneficial result not spur on a successively corresponding means?
       We can be sure that His promises are “Yes and Amen”, but can He be certain that our response will be, “not as I will, but as You will”?
