every now and then i am reminded of the awesome power and majesty of God. for me it is never a specific miracle or huge, mountian moving gesture that does it. no, it is generally an amalgam of small things – a collection of minor occurances that align in just the right way at just the right time. it is more of a romans 8:28 thing:
“And we know that to them that love God all things work together for good, even to them that are called according to his purpose” (ESV)
recently i have gone through quite a bit of interesting things in my life. from issues of changing compensation, coming to grips with certain aspects of my personality that i had yet to fully deal with, to the health and financial future of my children, to certain physical changes in me. just a bevy of things that have challenged me to my core and have caused me to re-evaluate everything about my life (well not my marriage and my family, but how i interact with them for sure).
but what happens when something comes up that offers a plausible explanation for much of it… what do you do?
