When the Father Sets His Heart on His Child

A project on God’s table, a mark for the devil.

When something in your life brings you under God’s radar, you become a project on His table, however, you also become a target for the devil’s attacks.

Things that bring you under God’s Radar:

• Uprightness – It was the uprightness of Job that made God brag about Him to Satan
• Sacrifice – Abel’s sacrifice earned him God’s approval
• Zeal – The zeal of Phinehas, the grandson of Aaron, turned away the wrath of God and forged him a covenant of peace with God
• God’s love – God, because of His love, has chosen us to be conformed to the image of His son

A person that God has set His heart on cannot continue as normal, his life changes. God tracks the course of his existence.

…we are made a spectacle unto the world…

I Corinthians 4:9 (kjv)

Job didn’t know that he had become a topic of discussion in the courts of heaven. All that he could see was that a series of unfortunate events had beset him mysteriously.

Some of you right now reading this are going through things that, unbeknownst to you, are signs that God has set His heart on you. That you have been chosen to be the means through which God shows His mighty power to men and angels.
