The grand stories of the Bible are ramped up considerably when admitted that these are true stories. The word story seems to be an out for doubters. Yet, it should not be. The Bible is event after event where the people were unable and God delivered.
This scenario is to be our story. I want to live in the unexplainable that could not have happened but it did sort of unfolding of God's grace. When that goes on (and it does) I think that's our best living. When we are sunk (dead) and God lifts us up, that is what we call a God story.
Faith helps us see God.
Classic writer Fenelon points out, A life of faith does two things: Faith helps you see God behind everything that He uses. And faith also keeps you in a place where you are not sure what will happen next. To have faith you cannot always want to know what is happening or going to happen. God wants you to trust Him alone from minute to minute. The strength He gives you in one minute is not intended to carry you through the next. Let God take care of His business.
Faith helps us see God. We can't explain. Neither can we predict. Even when we don't know how or where or when....we can always know Who. We know the Who that can.
Live life like He means it!
