Where is God? Usually, Where We Think He is Not...

You want to find God? You want to know what He is doing? What He is up too? The apostle tell us...

1 Cor 1:26-29 Remember, dear brothers and sisters, that few of you were wise in the world's eyes or powerful or wealthy when God called you. Instead, God chose things the world considers foolish in order to shame those who think they are wise. And he chose things that are powerless to shame those who are powerful. God chose things despised by the world, things counted as nothing at all, and used them to bring to nothing what the world considers important. As a result, no one can ever boast in the presence of God.
Holy Bible, New Living Translation ®,

That's where He is...in what the world calls foolishness...He's in those things that are powerless and weak...and lastly, you can find God in those things that are despised and counted as nothing by the world.

And from Genesis to Revelation, the bible is full of examples of this. From the very beginning, God took nothing and made everything you see. God took dust and made man. God took a rib out of man and made woman. God took a old, barren woman named Sarah and caused her to conceive and bring forth a people that populated the earth as many as the stars in the heavens. God took a babbling murderer who was floating around in a basket as a lost infant and raised him up to lead over one million of his people out of Egypt in the midst of the night without as much as waking up a sleeping animal.

You know I could go on and on, but my point is God still works the same way today. Many times us normal, average people feel like God is found in the big plans, the big churches, the big ministries, and working in the lives of the big names. But the Holy Spirit said if its foolish to the world...God's there. If its weak and dependent upon others...God's there. If its despised and counted as nothing...God's in the midst of it.

Wow, that's great to know, because there are some days I feel like and experience all three - I'm glad He is there!
