“THINKABOUTIT” THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Tuesday; January 29, 2008

 

          Thousands of years ago it was easy to know if God was living in the lives of His people.  Often, He (or His emissary) would physically make His presence known.  Whether it was God speaking to Moses in a burning bush or an angel standing alongside Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego in the fiery furnace, God’s presence was often unmistakable.

          So, in this current world, where God has chosen to be less visible, how do we know He is making an impact in our lives?  While there may be several ways to feel God’s presence one of the surest is through an inner peace.  When God is near, the problems may not go away completely; but, when we are close to Him there can be a sense that Someone is in control of our lives and our surroundings.  The Bible speaks of this presence when it promises, “… the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, shall guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”  (Philippians 4:7) 

          Do we feel connected or distant to God?  The answer may determined by where we stand with Him?

          Think about it!  For the Madison Avenue Church of Christ; this is Charlie Wharton.
