“THINKABOUTIT” THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Monday; May 12, 2008

 

          How many of us believe in prayer?  I would imagine that most people in this society would say that they pray; but, there is another, more important question, how many of us trust in the power of prayer?  Do we see prayer as a ritual or being relevant?  In essence, do we perceive God as a Director in our lives or a Spectator of our world?

          I recently came across a pithy little saying, “Coincidence is when God chooses to remain anonymous”.   Too often, we view life through the eyes of chance or fate; but, how much better would it be (for us and those around us) if we believed that God is alive and active in our world.  The great thing about God is that whether we are ready or not, He is often willing to work in our world – even if we choose to remain blind to  His influence. 

          None of us has ever seen God; but, that doesn’t mean that we can’t see the presence of God.  Do we see God’s influence in our world?  Maybe the more pertinent question is, are we really looking for it?

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