(UN)Typical God

Yesterday was a long day on the road and as usual, I had a great amount of time to pray and ponder the things of God and circumstances in which He is needed. At some point about mid-day as I was thinking out-loud, I simply stated as a response to my own thought,

"I wouldn't put it past Him." (God, that is)

So often those are derogatory words... that someone would stoop to that level (for whatever reason) They're just the kind of person, that if I were the betting type, I'd place odds that they would... yeah; you know how those conversations play out. You've had them. Heard them. Perhaps you've even been the one to make the statement. I've said as much myself.

God, on the other hand, only stoops down to the level where help is needed. Otherwise, he is stepping up. His thoughts, higher than ours. His ways, higher than ours. His plans, His purposes, all higher. He is able to do greater than we can ask or imagine.

Whatever you have need of today, I wouldn't put it past God; to move on your behalf. To work in circumstances for which you speak fervent prayers. Pushing through in faith; holding on with hope. Waiting, seeking, trusting; not in ourselves, but in God.

Untypical in that He does not do things the way we do. Typical in that He remains true to His nature and character.

Pray this #communitySaturday, as the church engages its' local surroundings, opportunities to present God wholly authentic and genuine to Himself. A Holy and Sovereign God. Truth wrapped in love. Conviction draped in grace. A heavenly Father seeking real relationship with the humanity that He created from His own DNA. May revelation come alive as people hear that God is not willing that anyone perish, but desires all to come to Him through repentance. Pray that many will come to know Christ as He works on the hearts and thoughts of man and moves on their behalf for the realities of life they currently face.

Work the miraculous, oh God. That you would be glorified. That all of humanity would be drawn to you. That your name be declared to the uttermost ends of the earth. That none would perish, but all find eternal life. In Christ. Through His death.
