We had a situation yesterday that my wife and I were praying over.
I mentioned that we should invite God to be in the midst of our situation. My wife countered with, “Maybe God is the midst of our situation.”
If you know me, a good twist of phrase always gets me thinking.
Perhaps we are too wrapped up in our own plans. We work away at things, scheme and develop strategies. When the worst and best scenarios are considered, then we tend to ask God to superintend the rest.
As though God wouldn’t be bothered with what was happening. Or, if he was, we can take care of the details – He can hang on to the big picture.
What if we were to look at it a whole new way? What if God is the midst of our situation? What if this is God’s way to direct us, to train us, to raise us up in righteousness? What if we were to switch the driver’s seat? What if we humbly prayed that God would reveal what on earth he is doing? What if we are really looking for God’s will being done on earth as it is in heaven – where the throne/governing room seems to dominate everything else?
Just saying!!
