Cell January 23 - Still More On Miracles
Monday, January 26, 2009
This week we finished up Mark Batterson's series A Course in Miracles with the third installment: Waiting 101.
Often there is a time span between when we seem to need something and when it happens. Notice I said "seem to need something." God knows when we actually need something. The problem that we have is that we tend to look at God in our own terms; in terms of linear time, moving moment to moment. But the Word says:
But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. (2Peter 3:8-9a)
God's time is not our time; in fact, God exists out of time. Luke 2 tells the story of Anna, who had waited in the temple for eighty-four years to see the Messiah. This is the kind of patience and resolve we must have waiting for miracles.
Scheduling Note: January 30th is Fifth Friday. We will be meeting in the church for movie night.
