GROWING IN CERTAINTY

The more we are around, the more God shows His hand.

I marvel.

I marvel at how much God is displaying His handiwork among us. So much wonder abounds that our conversations--whether verbal, twitter, email, or phone--cannot keep up. His work is too rapid-fire for efficient reporting.

If you want to turn a church around, resist complaining about how bad our culture is and begin telling about God working. If you want to see spirits resurrected, avoid measuring with what the eyes can see and begin talking about what the heart can believe.

Little people complain. The small in faith fret. I know. I lived at the end of those streets at the corner of Complaint and Fret. No longer. That address won't fly.

We want to discuss God working. We want to live at the corners of Faith and Hope. We believe....even when there are no signs of provision....we keep believing.

I am impressed. So many there are who believe God works. That number is growing. The discussion isn't regarding whether miracles have ceased. The winds have shifted. The topic is now that God does wonders among His very common people.

Tell your children God works....and then show them some of His quilts. See if they don't stay around the church in their later years because the lingo made faithful adjustment.
