How does God work? About the time I think I have an answer He does something that I would have never dreamed He would do. Why can’t He be more predictable? Sometimes God just flat out surprises me with the way He works. If you know me very well you know I love to control life. More than once I have found myself living in a rut and doing the same thing over and over again. It seems comfortable to me and certainly requires nothing out of me. But then along comes God and tells me to think differently and discover a new truth or insight. Pestering me God calls me to mature and move closer to Him.
Spending time with some relations recently has caused me to look at my life a bit closer. God has been calling out to me to knock down any walls between me and others. God is not the author of barriers but rather calls us to be reconciled to Him and others. The Him and others are closely connected. As I visited with my loved ones I realized how we are different and yet very alike. That was a good insight but also a painful one. How do I love those closest to me and realize that I am more alike than I want to admit? Their weaknesses are my weaknesses and their strength are mine as well.
Today I am thanking God for His hand that at times is nudging me to be more than I am now. In fact sometimes I think God pushes me to newness that is both exciting and frightening. I guess I will never figure out God. After all He is God and I am well ….. less than Him.
