Living life in Christ means we
are open to notice what He is doing all around us because He
IS actively at work whether we see it or not so much better
to see it! Because He is a present, active force, we can
expect Him to be working, and so we can expect to see His hand
at work in our lives, and also in the lives of others around us.
Sometimes, His work is obvious. Sometimes it is not.
I love this story: From the
book, The Fall of the Fortresses by Elmer Bendiner.
Elmer Bendiner describes a
bombing run over the German city of Kassel during WWII. On
a mission, a 20-mm explosive shell landed in their fuel tank.
The plane did not blow up. The pilot found not one, but 11
explosive shells in the fuel tank. The shells were turned
over to intelligence. It was discovered that the shells
had not been loaded with an explosive. Instead, they found
tiny rolled pieces of paper in them written in Czech.
The papers said, "This is all we
can do for you now." Captured patriots had been forced to
load shells under the careful guard of the enemy, but found a
way to substitute the papers and do one small thing that made a
big difference to the lives of one WWII bomber crew.
What is God doing in YOUR life?
because Hes doing SOMETHING.....
