And God Moved
Have
you wondered lately if God still moves in our world? Maybe you’ve had a dry season when it seems
God has left the scene, or has fallen asleep.
I
believe God still moves … in subtle, gentle, seemingly insignificant ways that
we might tend to overlook.
Consider
these comments heard yesterday at a church service.
A
returning vet said …
“When
I returned from my second tour in Afghanistan, we didn’t know where we would
live. I needed a job, and Juli was
pregnant with our first child. We found
this group of believers.
And God Moved.
A
ten-year-old girl shared …
I
love the friends I’ve made here, and the fall festival party where we put a red
nose on Pastor Ryan. That was a lot of
fun.
And God Moved.
A
man in his forties said this:
When
I found this church, I was a broken and disjointed human being. I had no money and no hope. Jerry over there, invited me in, and my life
has been different ever since.
And God Moved.
A
woman in her fifties shared this:
I
came home from work one afternoon to find that dreaded note from my husband
telling me he had left me. Needless to
say, I was crushed and devastated. I
reached out to my best friend Beth, who goes to this church. She prayed for me, invited me to come over,
and I soon found a group of individuals who cared genuinely for me and helped
me rebuild my life. The truth is, I’m
still rebuilding. It’s not easy, but I can
look back and see that God moved.
And God Moved.
We
all have stories of our own of how God has moved in our lives. Whether it is recovering from divorce,
re-emerging after a financial collapse, finding solid ground to help us climb
out of an addictive lifestyle, or healing after a catastrophic health
crises.
God
moves in our lives.
Hebrews
13:5 seems to shout to me about now. See
if you can hear it too.
“I will never leave you nor forsake you.”
And
verse six chimes in:
“So, we can say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper. I will not fear; what can man (or
circumstances) do to me?”
Yes,
life is tough. Hard places present
themselves.
And
always, always, ALWAYS remember this.
And God Still Moves!
