Well as you read yesterday we had a passionette service Saturday (that was awesome by the way) and we sang several songs but one of them spoke to me more than any other.   And even though the song is awesome one particular line in that song was really the catalyst for several days of thought.  Well I was given a true example of what I had been pondering yesterday and it hit me like a lightning bolt.  First let me share the song with you…

Indescribable – Chris Tomlin

Who has told every lightning bolt where it should go
Or seen heavenly storehouses laden with snow
Who imagined the sun and gives source to its light
Yet conceals it to bring us the coolness of night
None can fathom

Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name
You are amazing God
All powerful, untamable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God
You are amazing God

Now I gave you a little bit more just because this song is amazing but I bolded the line that really made me think about things.  As we were growing up in school we learned about lighting and how it works and why we get it and so forth and so on.  And we look at it when it streaks through the sky and it is scary and kind of cool all at the same time.  But most of us think that it is random in where it goes how it goes and so forth, hence the statement “lightning never strikes twice”.  But never once have I considered that God told it where to go.  Now you may be more spiritual than I but I know He created it and I know He controls everything but to direct its very path seemed almost ridiculous for God to do.   Well yesterday He handled a situation for me that I had been praying about and He handled it in a way that I would have never expected.  I was praying and praying for it to be handled but in a way that I thought would be the best way (basically giving me an easy out so that I didn’t have to deal with it), but instead he handled it in a way that I never would have considered.  And it was just phenomenal to see God work right in front of me.  I just sat in awe for few minutes and then I just praised Him and thanked Him for His help.   So, if He takes the time to direct every single lightning bolt down to the earth then why do we ever question whether He hears us or whether He is going to take care of us?   I think we sometimes forget how involved God is in our daily lives, remember He is not just sitting back watching and helping whenever He wants, He is directly impacting and providing our steps every day, every hour,  every minute, every second…etc.   If you feel like you have not experienced that I urge you to write down your prayers and review them I think you will see His hand move a lot more than you praise Him for now.   Keep lifting up your concerns your Heavenly Father is listening and moving!!
