“And we are witnesses of these things; and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey Him.”.” Acts 5:32
We are focusing on stories this year, and one specific story at that, God’s story. His story is more diverse and varied than any other story ever imagined. His story is as different as there are people. In each story, there are twists and turns, unexpected events, interesting and unique cast of characters, laughs and tears, and always has a satisfactory ending even if it isn’t always happy.
The amazing thing is God is writing His story with our lives. He is showing Himself to the world in new and amazing ways by using you to do it. Our task is to show Him to the world. He reveals Himself to and in us in order for us to make Him known to the world. But it is incredibly difficult to do that if we try to make ourselves the main character of the story.
However, when we focus on God as the main character of the story, we then begin to see Him in new and incredible ways. As we experience Him, we are drawn even closer to Him, and it compels and inspires us to tell and show others what we have learned and seen from Him.
When we share what God has done in us, then we become a part of another story God is writing. How amazing is it that we could be sprinkled through the pages of many stories God is creating even today?
But that is only possible when we begin to step out in faith, obey the Holy Spirit, and follow in the steps of Christ. So let us resolve to be obedient and faithful to Christ. The world is waiting for us to share in order that God can change their story as well.
Following Him,
Jeff
