Learning To See God Everywhere
Every now and again, it’s good to revisit what you’re trying to do. I use quotes to condense complex concepts and relationships. For me,
God’s genius is revealed in the dazzlingly simple, while our brokenness complicates everything.
Look deeply…God has not left himself without a witness… I’ve found its true.
I see the hand of God everywhere I turn. God takes me by the hand and reveals himself all over the place.
So I don’t abandon my Lord Jesus, I dive deeper into his revelation in everything, everywhere. It expands my heart and my vision.
There’s always a trust and a letting go, to go where God leads you.
My vision is wonderfully limited to what I can comprehend, but God is always challenging me, revealing more and more.
Scripture holds the pattern, but it’s walking in the Spirit where life is lived.
Called To Be Artists of God
We live a creative life, creating with our Creator. We are as it were, Artists of God.
Now I’m not leaving behind our Revival Mode where we wake up to God, and come alive in Jesus, or our Renewal Mode where we are gifted and empowered by the Holy Spirit. We include both.
But my focus here is on our Restoration Mode, which is both a recovery and a discovery process whereby we are transformed in the middle of our chaos and brokenness from glory to glory. That is huge!
Because of this, I’ve learned on a deeper level that every spiritual tradition continually develops a short-hand that outsiders don’t understand.
Among Believers, we call it Christianize. For example: “God is moving,” begs the question: “Where is he going?” But every spiritual tradition has its insider language and God has not left himself without a witness in every single tradition.
As “workers or craftsmen” of God, we may not see these things, but as artists we see and create with them.
Quite simply, we see the revelation of God everywhere we turn.
I recently had someone remark to me: “I’m ruined. Every time I go out to eat, or into a bar, I’m thinking: How could we do church in this place?” That’s creating with our Creator.
I try to keep it simple, without dumbing things down. My call is not to inform, to conform, or to form you in your faith.
My joy is to encourage you in your spirituality that transforms us in Jesus. At our core being, our abundant, eternal life is in Jesus, and through him.
God’s genius is revealed in the dazzlingly simple that thrusts us into the eternal, and before his feet.
What we worship, we become.
