One more day and we're already a quarter of the way through this 30-day faith experiement! It's going so quickly. For those of you who are following along... What has God been saying to you? Has God surprised you along the way this week? (Feel free to send a comment.)Yesterday I had the privilege of meeting a friend from my House Church over coffee. I listened to his story of how God has interacted with him over the course of his life. It was a privilege. And an honor. It always is whenever someone trusts you enough to tell you how their life has interacted with Divine Life. After all, who can really say if it's real? How can you "prove" it? How do you know if it was "God" who said or did or led you in certain ways... and not just your own "inner voice?" Talking about the Divine is a risk in itself, isn't it? You have to have the courage and self-confidence to lay out your story, and your interpretation of the story, before the world with the fear of proven wrong, of scoffed at, or simply discounted. And who wants to sign up for that?
No wonder we're gun-shy to talk about matters of faith.
My friend did anyway. And as I listened, I saw glimpses of God's handiwork all over the place. What a privilege. Thanks for the nice surprise. Lord.
