Wow! It’s been almost a month since the last post. I have been fine, just busy and working on some other writing … can’t tell you about it just now. shhh… but tonight during a bible study I help lead – I knew I had to write about how I have been hearing God. We all need to know and realize that God IS active. He isn’t just a great creator who shaped this amazing world we live in, created our intricate brains and bodies from dust, thought up silly creatures such as platypus’ and penguins. He is active. He is loving. He is still speaking to us today!
I have been having conversations with God on a regular basis lately. And I love it. I even argue with him (shocker to those who know me, eh?). A recent conversation centered around some writing I am now doing. I argued that I wasn’t talented enough, had no ideas, didn’t know where to start, wasn’t sure how to outline it… Any and every excuse I could thank of! God countered every. single. one. I ran out of excuses so now I am trying to be obedient.
Previously I have written about being under a black cloud and one I asked for strong winds to blow all the depression away. Tonight in bible study we read Romans 8:1-2. They are familiar verses to many:
There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death. (RSV)
Pretty powerful. If we are in Jesus – we are FREE! This was not a new concept to me. Almost easy to shrug off. But then on of the gals read the Message version:
With the arrival of Jesus, the Messiah, that fateful dilemma is resolved. Those who enter into Christ’s being-here-for-us no longer have to live under a continuous, low-lying black cloud. A new power is in operation. The Spirit of life in Christ, like a strong wind, has magnificently cleared the air, freeing you from a fated lifetime of brutal tyranny at the hands of sin and death.
An EXACT response to my pleas from a month and more ago. Word for word!! The black cloud, though thinner and not as oppressive is still there. But God has promised to clear the air – like a strong wind! WOW!!!!
God is good. He is active and talking to us … all the time. We just need to listen.
