Understanding God's Process

Christine Caine

In a world obsessed with instant gratification, the analog era's process of waiting and allowing an image to be developed speaks volumes. Similarly, our spiritual journeys, purpose, and character require time and divine processing.

Understanding God's Process | How to Develop in Your Calling | Christine Caine
#ChristineCaine

Oh, we want to market ourselves and be discovered, but God doesn't need to discover us; He created us. We're already known to Him. Instead of seeking discovery, God calls us to be formed and transformed into His image.

In today's instant, snap-and-upload generation, where over 400 million pictures flood social media daily, there's a danger of assuming everything is instant. From restaurant bookings to communication, we expect everything online and instant.

Relationships can even break over a delayed text response. Reflecting on the past, we marvel at the once-radical invention of cameras and 35mm film, a process requiring time, patience, and waiting for images to be forged in a dark room. The contrast between then and now serves as a reminder that some things, like character and purpose, can't be rushed or instantly uploaded.

In a world obsessed with instant gratification, the analog era's process of waiting and allowing an image to be developed speaks volumes. Similarly, our spiritual journeys, purpose, and character require time and divine processing.

The comparison between the rapid uploads of today and the deliberate waiting of the past is a profound reminder that true formation and transformation take time – a concept often lost in our instantaneous culture.


As we navigate this fast-paced digital age, let us not forget the value of patience, perseverance, and the intricate craftsmanship that goes into forging a meaningful and purposeful life.

In our generation, many of us are misled into thinking our purpose and destiny, our pursuit of Christ, is a quick journey like a snap and upload on Instagram. However, God doesn't develop our lives that way; it's more like a roll of film.

God saves us, and then we go through a series of processes where the image of God is forged inside us. God ensures that this image is formed within us before propelling us into the world to fulfill His calling.

Some of us get frustrated and walk away because we don't want to go through the process. We open the door, exposing ourselves to a light greater than the light within us, leading to destruction. Everything we do today comes from being submitted to God's process, allowing His character to be forged within us.

Instagram and Facebook may make it seem like success is a snap and upload, but God doesn't work that way. He develops us through a process, as shown in Scripture.

Many want to be discovered, marketed, and recognized, but God doesn't need to discover us; He created us. Instead of trying to be discovered, we should let God develop and transform us into His image, fulfilling our purpose and destiny.

Let's explore the process of development in the life of a young man, as seen in 1 Samuel 16, where Samuel is sent to anoint the future king among Jesse's sons.

All of it was done for you and me.  Considering that, it is incumbent upon us to have the Blessing which the Cross affords

DAILY DEVOTIONAL

The Blessing which the Cross Affords

Jimmy Swaggart
This is the first mention of the Cross, although in shadow, after the Fall. The Lord told Satan through the serpent that victory would come by the Seed of the woman. Ironically, woman has no seed, with the exception of One, Who was the Lord Jesus Christ.
That “Light” resides in Christ, for He said, “I am the Light of the world”

DAILY DEVOTIONAL

Light which Redeems the Soul

Jimmy Swaggart
The darkness that was here prevalent was taken away only by the Spirit of God, as He moved upon the face of the waters. As someone has well said, The Moving of the Holy Spirit is the first sign of life.
Put your Faith in Him and what He has done for you at the Cross.

DAILY DEVOTIONAL

Beginnings are one thing, while endings are another!

Jimmy Swaggart
On this first day of a brand-new year, which is a new beginning of sorts, the Lord offers to every person a brand-new beginning in their life, irrespective as to what the past has been. Millions this year will make New Year’s resolutions, resolutions which invariably will not be kept.
The place where god puts you will not be perfect—even eden was exposed to the possibility of evil. But there is no better place to be than where god has set you down.

DAILY DEVOTIONAL

A Place Called Home

Colin S. Smith and Tim Augustyn
The book of genesis is part of the revelation god gave to moses at mount Sinai, so when it says eden was “in the east,” we are talking about a location somewhere east of Sinai.
We were created to come close to a Father who has made himself vulnerable to the longings of his people and to absorb his desires as he cares for and works through ours.

DAILY DEVOTIONAL

God’s Heart and Ours

Chris Tiegreen
One of the primary ways God accomplishes his purposes on earth is through the prayers of his people. And one of our primary motivations for prayer is the desires in our hearts.
