Opus 2025-358: Spiritual GMO

God looks at us and sees our hearts.  When the Holy Spirit moved upon us, when the blood of Jesus washes us, there is a change that takes place.  I think most believers accept that, but I’m not sure that we understand how deep this goes.

The thought came to my mind of scientists reaching down into the DNA of plants and tweaking the code in the DNA.  In the process they come up with new plants and new varieties.  They are playing God.  They really don’t know what the results are going to be.  The scary thing about this is that they could release upon the world a new variety that might destroy a food crop that we depend on or do something else with the environment.

I think about God, who knows what He’s doing, reaching down deep into your spiritual DNA, whatever that might be.  Picture Him making little tweaks that would set up a whole new chain of developments in your future being.  It might start sequences in your spiritual growth that you would have never even dreamed possible.  God has that ability.  And I think that God does that.  This is part of the sanctifying process.  This is God actively turning us into what He wants us to be.

The future is going to be awesome for each of us as we grow in grace.
