Hello CCH Family

Heart to Home

Counting the costs

Once upon a time

Mother was approached by daughter

Hopes to go on a trip to NY

Pricey - Mom encouraged her to count

31 Or what king, going to make war against another king, does not sit down first and consider whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand?

Get a job / less free time / less sports

Daughter was willing / in the end...

Cost proved to be too much

Luke Chap 14 talks about counting the cost

Disciple - Can apply to anything we pursue

It's important whenever we purse to count

We can do this to our best abilities

However there are costs we can't foresee

28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not sit down first and count the cost, whether he has enough to finish it—

There are variables we can't know about

God doesn't have this problem

God being omniscient/existing outside of time

doesn't experience variables

He sees from eternity past to future

Nothing sneaks up on Him

Of course a perfect God that encourages

Would surely take His own advice

Before beginning anything

This includes the human race

The Scriptures tell us that God has

But He created us any way

tear each other apart if /the resistance of HS

He saw rocks and mountains obey

He saw the water obey

He saw wind and lighting bolts obey

He saw humans shake their first and say no!

He knew..

What would need to take place for/salvation

He would have to unleash an immeasurable

wrath on His Son for us to have a chance

He knew that even after He provided

Ultimate demonstration of His love

Most would reject it

He knew He would be blamed for every

bad thing we humans decide to do

He counted the costs

The total on the bill was an infinite amount

It was the blood of Jesus Christ

And He made us anyway

And if you are saying amen and amen

He made a special path just to you

He put you on His list of items to be

redeemed for a great price

Young lady mentioned earlier

had the best intentions to pay the price

Necessary to get to NY / unfortunately

Came up short

Thankfully for our sakes God

never comes up short

Phil 1:6 Tells us quite the contrary

6 being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ;
