How to tell when someone is who they really are… Can you see them for who they are? Great question but thats not where we are headed today. We are asking the question can you see where God is at in the murky details. it can take 3-5 days for fingerprints to come back and identify someone. Facial recognition can be almost immediate… eye scanner pretty fast… But the point is- how fast can you recognize Gods handiwork in your life.
I honestly believe one of the greatest skills in your life is to be able to discern where God is at in the murky details…
I was always amazed at my doctors when they would sit me down to look over X-rays, MRI’s, sonograms etc… Even all the colonoscopy’s that I have had simply look like a horror movie … you know a submarine ship traveling through the bottoms of the ocean waiting for a prehistoric creature to eat the sub… or I guess camera.
But again… the point - can you identify where God is at in your life, in your problems, in your relationships, in your health, in your job, in your kids, in your finances, in your circumstances…
If you google how to know Gods will in your life- you will find a lot of great stuff… but thats not exactly what I am talking about - Im challenging you to understand where God is at in the dirty details of your life… here is the best, quickest way to see where God is in the details… simply take a situation like “my marriage is rocky”… and ask God this question.
how can this make me more like Jesus?
Now you know where God is in this area.
What about your high blood pressure or your weight problem… how can this make me more like Jesus?
You are short on money?
How can this make me more like jesus.
HONESTLY… THIS IS ALL THAT MATTERS.
This is why having a foundation of scripture in your life is so important, it gives you some direction or compass to see how, and what God might be doing, and or why he is doing it.
Early on when my marriage was really struggling I simply asked God “why? Where are you in this? How will this make me more like you”?
I quickly came to realize that I would have to rely on Gods grace, patience, mercy and love more than ever… that is how it will make me more like him.
IN fact I now love the hard times in my life because i understand more than ever it is what makes me more like Jesus.
You check out a crime scene and you go oh… I know who’s been here
You track an animal and you understand who has been here
When I meet someone and get to know them and see huge amounts of Joy in tragedy -I know Gods been there,
when I see mercy instead of revenge,
the wisdom in the uneducated…
the faith that shuts a tornado down…
the patience when other would crack…
the Power that calls out a multi million dollar building with no money in the bank
The Kindness to those who have persecuted you
The generosity in light of your own need…
Take time today and look at where your needs, struggles and problems are and realize Gods right there… and trust that it will make you more like Jesus.
