God is doing stuff, has been doing stuff and will continue to do stuff.
There. That wasn’t so hard to explain after all.
Last Friday morning, sitting in my car before work at about 6:30 am, but I also became very aware that I was sitting before God and his movement in the lives of men over the last several thousand years and sitting before God and eternity.
That will give a man some perspective. I had just finished slugging my way through all the visions, descriptions, measurements and judgments of Ezekiel and felt such a closeness to God, not because of a specific phrase or truth in Ezekiel but because of the context for life that reading this ancient book provided.
Very honestly, reading through the Bible can be very boring at times, but it is like a watering process, or a cultivating time of breaking up the soil, preparing it for moisture and seed.
Yes, sometimes I can hardly get through a verse of God’s holy truth without stopping to write my thoughts down, a phrase penetrates my hard head and “poof,” an explosion of thought.
But other times you plod, you slug it out, maybe even crawl, take yourself by the scruff of the neck and persevere, drag your worthless hide. . .Okay, I’m getting a little carried away here.
AND GET REWARDED as God’s world invades your world and gives you a giant dose of eternal perspective.
Now that’s what I’m talking about.
