What does it look like when God is at work? Is it flashy and loud? Does it draw attention to itself or focus on the unusual? Would you even notice if God was working right next to you? Most of us have difficulty seeing where God is working for any number of reasons.
When God works and we see it; that is our invitation to join Him there. Joining Him requires our obedience and action. To obey and act we must (more often than not) make adjustments in our lives. These adjustments could be emotional, spiritual, and or physical. Sometimes it is all three !
Today at our worship service we saw God working. God moved our hearts and revealed where He is working at NHBC. When asked where God was working this past week; three individuals shared their experiences. It was powerful and moving. What I noticed was that it was three of the newest folks in our body. It made some of old timers uncomfortable to see and hear about God intervening in their personal lives.
Why would that make us uncomfortable or make us sit us and take notice? Maybe we have forgotten what it is like to have God intervene in our lives; maybe we take it for granted, maybe we just need to rejoice with those who rejoice.
I have my ideas and convictions about what happen today; what about you ? Care to share?
It was a blessing hearing what God is doing in their lives! When you asked for testimony, my mind went blank...thn, I tried to think of something "earth-shattering" from last week...in truth, He moves in small ways all the time and I am blessed almost daily, but then I'm rushing on to my next activity or a nap, and it is lost from memory. Perhaps, the 3 testimonies, yesterday, were intended to uplift the Body of Christ and demonstrate the effectiveness of a new wine skin?
