If you listen you will here the rumbling...a thunderous whisper from heaven!
Today's Scripture:
Trust the Lord with all your heart, and don't depend on your own understanding. Remember the Lord in all you do, and he will give you success.
Proverbs 3: 5-6
Airplanes and ships do not make any sense to me. Such masses of metal staying in the air or afloat in the sea seems impossible. Yet, millions of people board them every year for business travel and long-awaited vacations. Ants and bees cannot be explained either. Their bodies should not be able to exhibit such strength. I mean come on they surely do not look like an Mixed Martial Arts champion like a Brock Lesnar, nor a former Mr. Olympia like Governor Arnold Swartzenegger - "Conan the barbarian", "The Terminator". But you probably have witnessed bees buzzing in the air and ants carrying ten times their weight.
Sometimes you cannot depend on you own understanding or how or why things work.
I myself as a scrawny quarterback can remember times where God provided me the blessing of super human strength to push up 315 lbs. on my bench press surrounded by team mates. And in critical situations allowing me to push, pull or carry three to four opponents into the end zone to enable our team to score. It is experiences like this where truth is stranger than fiction, much like a fish story when you tell others unless they could see the miracle with their own eyes they will not believe it.
You cannot figure God out either. The Bible says that God knows the number of hairs on your head. He also hears every prayer that is spoken. How he can give his full attention to each person at the same time is puzzling and beyond our human comprehension. I know just to be a pickle plant manager it can be frustrating to have someone on the phone, while responding to an email and speaking to yet another coworker via radio and then here someone over the intercom paging you to call them or come to a shutdown on a production line. Sometimes you and I just have to trust what the Bible says about God, even if we cannot understand it.
If you listen closely, you can hear a thunderous whisper from heaven urging you to trust God more than your own reasoning. You may not see how you can have a profitable year with losses you have sustained, but you can trust that God will supply what you need whether or not you earn the profits you had hoped. Maybe you do not understand how you will ever get the job of your dreams or complete that degree that you seek, but you can trust that God can give you the wisdom and connect you with the right people at the right time. Just listen to his encouraging voice. He created the bee and the ant, didn't he?
Selah people' and friends look around you for the once-impossible things that have become possible. Encourage your faith and trust in God by giving him the credit for the possibilities in life.
"May we open our ears and our heart and listen to the thunderous whisper...what is God saying to you today? Do you have faith enough to believe that he will give you all the wisdom and strength to accomplish great things? Are you not as important as the tiny ant to him?"
