Living The Message Feb.1

The Works of the Lord

The next four days are reflections of Psalm 46.

two commands direct us from the small-minded world of self-help to the large world of God's help. First, "Come, behold the works of the LORD." Take a long, scrutinizing look at what God is doing. This requires patient attentiveness and energetic concentration. Every-body else is noisier than God. The headlines and neon lights and amplifying systems of the world announce human works. But what of Gog's works? They are unadvertised but also inescapable, if we simply look. They everywhere. They are marvelous. But God has no public relations agency. He mounts no publicity campaign to get our attention, He simply inviteds us to look. Prayer is looking at the works of the Lord.

Reach out and experince the breadth! Test its length!
Plumb the depths! Rise to the heights! Live full lives, full in the fullness of God.

Ephesians 3:18-19
