We get so used to the ordinary that
we seldom expect anything more. We go through the motions and do
not expect something amazing to happen to us. And it is the same
when we try and seek God. If and I mean to stress, if, we
make the time to seek the Lord we also seek Him in the ordinary. We
do not really expect to see Him in supernatural ways. But that is
exactly where we make the mistake. We need to believe and
anticipate that His Presence in our lives will be supernatural.
After all scripture tells us:
Luke 1:45 "You are blessed,
because you believed that the Lord would do what He
said."
Matthew 17:20 "I assure you,
even if you had faith as small as a mustard seed you could say to
this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it would move.
Nothing would be impossible."
We need to start believing, it
unleashes the power that the Lord makes available to us.
Let's look at the different way
that the Lord spoke to a couple of biblical characters. The Lord
appeared to Moses in a burning bush. Of all things, a burning bush.
He could have talked to him in a dream or with a vision, but He
chose to speak to Moses through a bush.
To the Israelites the Lord appeared
in a protective cloud during the day and a pillar of fire during
the night.
To Balaam the Lord spoke to him
through his own donkey! Imagine your dog or cat suddenly starts
talking to you. I will have the fright of my life, I can tell you
that.
An angel appeared to both Joseph
and Mary proclaiming the coming of our Lord Jesus.
I think you get the point. The list
can go on and on. The point that I would like to make is that we
should believe that the Lord can work in wonderful different ways
in our lives. It makes life truly exciting. As I mentioned before
the Lord once wrote a message to me using clouds. It was an awesome
experience and something that I would always treasure.
Look around you today and see the
Lord all over. Expect to find Him:
Deuteronomy 4: 29 "And if you
search for Him with all your heart and soul, you will find
Him."
He is excited to spend time with
you and He wants to show you a wonderful side to Him. You only need
to make the time and believe that He will bless you with insight
because of it. It will make life more thrilling and interesting,
but most of all it will deepen your relationship with Him, which is
what this life is all about.
Lord Jesus, we look forward to this
day. Please speak to us in unexpected ways, we believe that You
will. We love You more than life itself. Amen
