Listen. Think. Pray. Plan. Wait. Speak. Give. Go. Grow. Live. Learn.
I want us to actively seek God’s Will, God’s Way(s), God Himself.
Not activity for the sake of activity. These are eager actions that carry the hope of catching a glimpse of God’s grace in our everyday activities. It’s a lofty goal… to see the divine in my trip to the supermarket. Experience the ordinary in an extrodinary way. This is the way in which we can seek to live.
This new way of seeing, being, living, etc… is not really about what we can do about our own perceptions. I believe this new way is prescribed in God’s Word as something that God can do in us.
Ephesians 3:20 says, “Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us.”
— We need to remind ourselves that the Father sees the “big picture,” that His power far exceeds our limited imagination. We must never become satisfied with our dreams, for they are finite at best. When we follow God’s direction, we will witness things happening in our lives that can only be explained by His powerful presence. How could we be satisfied with anything less? (H. Blackaby) —
