Coincidences
Or God?
“Look among the
nations and watch – be utterly astounded! For I will work a work in your days
which you would not believe, though it were told you.” (Habakkuk 1:5)
As I write this blog…we all have experienced an event in
our lives and dismissed it as a coincidence.
But was it really? Or was it God?
We as Christians habitually seek God’s voice through
prayer through His Word, or through His messengers. Yet sometimes we often fail to hear God speak
through his activity even though He is working all around us. Let me say that again…We often fail to fail
to hear or even see his activity even though He is working all around us. God encourages His people to watch for His
activity so they will know how they should respond and adjust our lives.
The disciples I believe discovered much about God’s power
by witnessing Jesus calming a raging storm with authority and a simple command
and feeding the multitudes, healing of the sick, etc.. Then you have Jesus the person that dined
with sinners..a very notorious sinner such as Zacchaeus…Jesus taught them a
poignant message about God’s love for sinners.
Watching Jesus through the 3 years…and the climax of Jesus hanging upon
the cross communicated a compelling message of what God was willing to do for
His people and to free His people from sin. Lets advance beyond the
crucifixion…the discovery of the empty tomb revealed an astounding truth of
God’s victory over death. To those with
spiritual discernment, God’s activity is a significant revelation about His
heart and will.
If you are sensitive to what God is doing around you, He
will clearly speak to your through His activity. Here we are again….speaking about His
activity. Are you seeing it? Or overlooking it? Dismissing it to coincidence?
If you are sensitive to what God is doing around us and
in our lives…He will clearly speak to us through His activity. You will know that God is at work, because
what you see will blow our minds, and human power and wisdom will not be able
to explain it. When you experience
events that surpass your understanding and ability, it may…be that God is
communicating a critical important message to you.
If you want to hear God’s voice, look around you to see
what He is doing. When you are watching
for God to work, what you see will reveal His character, and you will, I pray,
have a fresh understanding of how to respond to Him.
So the next time you experience something unexplainable
or a mystery event….think….and ask yourself…Is it a Coincidence? Or God?
