October Run - A Seventh Portion

The October challenge, find amazing parts of theology and
then each day bring one paragraph to you the reader about that
.
Did you look at yourself in the mirror this morning?
How closely did you look? Let's say, not all that closely,
why not, because, with few changes you've seen that
same face for your whole life, it changes very little
except with the years. You have come to
depend upon it. God, as a matter of theological
importance, can be depended upon, and here is the
interesting thing, it isn't so much what God does
that can be depended upon, but what God
doesn't do. You and I are alive today because God
chose to allow this world to continue to exist.
You and I are alive today because God made
a deliberate choice for us to exist,
and to continue to exist, and the simplest
of truths is, we have become used to being
able to depend upon God not to do the drastic
reality ending sort of things, haven't we?
Yet here is the subtle theological point of the day, He can,
whenever He chooses to, such is what it means to be, God,
and yet we continue; and my suggestion to you is that this
theological concept become known between us as God's grace.
It isn't what God does -it is, what He graciously doesn't do.
2Ti 1:9 Who hath saved us, and called [us]
with an holy calling, not according to our works,
but according to his own purpose and grace, which
was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,
