GOD'S STORY

God seems to have one steady story; the impossible is possible. He began with creation and will end with salvation of His creation. The middle is every bit as fascinating as the introduction and conclusion.

God's story is all about what can't possibly happen does. That's it. That's all. What can't possibly take place does. Do you recall perhaps David and Goliath or Gideon and his dinky army? What about Elijah being the minority at the cook-off when no one brought matches?

Did you ever hear anything about....oh a couple of rivers standing at attention as they saluted God's children walking past in defiance of.....the impossible? Oh, and that prison thing where Paul and Silas were in double break-proof security....and they converted the security guard? Remember that one? And....do you recall hearing anything about another breakout? You know that one where Jesus was dead awhile and then he wasn't?

What's the point of God's story? He wants us to believe Him so deeply we absorb His possibility-power into our routine walk. That's what we do with God's story. We believe Him so much we look at the call on one hand and the threat on the other....and ta da....we opt for the call.

That's us. That's who we are....all because God's storyline never expires.
