God Still Moves

In today’s high tech world, we’ve got gadgets for just about everything. If we don’t have a gadget then I’m sure we have an application that we can download onto our portable cellular devices that will allow us greater mobility and control of our lives right?
We’ve got widgets too….how could I almost forget about the resource that helps us put the other resources we like to use most at our finger tips for greater convenience. You can call yourself really high tech when you have yourself a special device or tool that enhances your already special stuff to the next level!
When email first was introduced, who would have imagined it could have been enhanced with so many special features that we just could not live without. Consider life without an “office assistant”, and all the special things we can do like planning ahead to provide you with an announcement we are unable to respond or I enjoy the ability to recall an email I’ve sent out. Sometimes I do that to my friends just so they will ask what I sent or what I needed. Life is so filled with things it’s hard to imagine the simply lives once lived just a few short years ago.
I was looking at the church hymn the other day, God Moves in Mysterious Ways. Reading the words reminded me of the beauty and power of God in a way that was refreshing in this modern time of sophistication and electronic equipment for staying in touch.

God moves in a mysterious way, His wonders to perform
He plants His footsteps in the sea, and rides upon the storm
You fearful saints, fresh courage take; The clouds you so much dread;
Are big with mercy, and shall break in, blessings on your head.
Judge not the Lord by feeble sense, but trust Him for His grace,
Behind a frowning providence, He hides a smiling face.
Blind unbelief is sure to err, and scan His work in vain;
God is His own interpreter, and He will make it plain.

Words of comfort that provide a real inner peace are so often hard to find. If your cellular phone doesn’t work, you must call an 800 number where you will be pressing buttons for a while, and if you don’t have your serial, model and warranty number handy with fax capabilities, then you might not even get to speak to a live operator for assistance.
In our fast pace world today there is a sure fact that is good to have as an anchor for a weary spirit. God moves in mysterious ways and if you and I will be still long enough to know Him, I am confident we will see clearly in time.


Until then
