“The Inconceivable”

Sometimes the "smart" thing to do is not what you are supposed to do… What seems smart to us may not be the way God leads. I have been throwing this thought around in my mind for a while. God is great and mighty and time and time again throughout His Word we see how He defied human logic and did things that were inconceivable to man. Time and time again we see how God asked His people to take steps in line with the inconceivable or impossible, asking His people to trust Him the whole way and they did! I know that God never changes yet I wonder why so many of us are not trusting God for the inconceivable anymore?

The God I believe in is the same God that parted the Red Sea for His people to walk across on dry ground! Not only did He give His people a pathway to walk on but He also took care of the enemy in pursuit of them by total annihilation! This is the same God that makes a way for me today! This is the same God that told Noah to build the ark with no logical evidence that what he would build the ark for was anywhere near possible. This is the same God that told Abraham to go up the mountain to sacrifice Isaac giving him full confidence that He would provide all he needed. God has never failed on a promise He has made yet we are not really living like we trust Him.

On one side I am sad that I have dishonored God by not trusting Him to the fullest possible extent and on the other side I am eager to trust Him more. I want to see the same God that led Mary and Joseph and countless others in the Word by dreams and visions. I want to walk in the place where God's power is displayed having full confidence that He is the same today! One conclusion I have come to is that in every situation where God displayed His power His people were required to carry out an action. We want God to show up big in our lives but we are standing still wondering where He is. I think God is waiting on us and we have been waiting on Him? What actions are we pursuing in response to Gods direction in our lives? Abraham had to go to the mountain with Isaac, Noah had to build the ark, the children of Israel had to get to the place where they needed to cross the Red Sea, and the list goes on. Following after God requires a little faith and a whole lot of obedience which is visible by our actions. I am excited to see God show up in every area of my life as I follow after Him. Today, I want to see God do the inconceivable in and through my life as the God who never changes!
