To taste the presence and provision of God requires noticing. That's all.
That God is a lawgiver and judge is not something we humans like to dwell on. It makes us uncomfortable to face our own limitations and sin. It's easier to focus on God's love and mercy.
A few years ago, while at school in Pennsylvania, I got to know some people from Kansas. They gushed about the beauty of their land, their trains, their garden, their world. I wondered what made it so special.
First time experiences + most embarrassing moment + how God is showing up for me these days = all in my latest blog post, "Obviously"
In a culture that has theorized itself out of a divine authority, I still believe in a mighty God. He is a good God.
I almost missed him, the man at the side of the road, walking briskly in an orange vest. In the last second as I passed him, he swung his brown cane into the air. The heavy rubber end swept an arc above his head. His German shepherd tugged at the leash, keeping him to the grassy side of the shoulder.
Everywhere, today, I've been seeing gold✨, and I've caught it like a falling star and put it in my pocket. 🎶
Very rarely does Life offer a straight path and open doors. The One Who says "Follow me," looks for us to follow Him intimately with the joyful abandonment of a curious child.
A part of me cringes at the bold voiceover, but after today, I need to remind us all.
