God's at work in our day

Its encouraging and enlightening to see God at work in the world that we live in. His mercy and goodness carries over from day to day, office to field, the mundane to the dangerous. In each and every way He determines righteousness from wickedness, success from failure, and life and death.

I don’t believe it an accident that the terrorists plots of May 7th against Fort Dix were foiled with no casualties. Nor the June 3rd terrorist plans against John F. Kennedy International Airport, nor the June 29-30th plans against Glasgow International Airport and the London car bombs. In them all, I see the hand of God protecting… showing mercy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_terrorist_incidents).

In our day it seems that people want to discredit God and push any mention or possibility of his actions away. There is no fear of him, no acceptance, and no honor. The majority of people on this earth go through out their day with no thought, no prayer, no concept that God Almighty rules. Their minds are blinded to this fact 2 Corinthians 3:14.

We live in a day when ‘evil is called good and good is called evil’ Isaiah 5:20. When gay pride days are celebrated at baseball games and people are thrilled at the soon arrival of a new Harry Potter book. Truly we live in a wicked generation…

Yet, God is faithful… merciful… good. His patience lingers to accept those who are tired, weak, and who hunger for righteousness, those who turn to him. That’s why we pray for those we work with… that’s why we pray for a change of heart… so that others can see Christ in us… that’s why we speak the name of Jesus Christ to a lost world in the hope that a seed is planted, a spark is ignited, and that the hope of Christ might come to life… in others.

God is at work every day. Each day he has a plan, a purpose, and a specific reason. He asks that we give up our plans and follow him. He asks that we give up our purposes and follow him. He asks that we not always understand the reason why but follow him…

Be encouraged as Christ is working in and through you. You’ve been given eyes to know right from wrong, good from evil, and this opportunity to pray, to proclaim, and to help others… to work for Christ!
