You know that one time that God is awesome? By awesome I mean it in the same way that Rich Mullins explained it in his hit song in 1988, "When He rolls up His sleeves He ain't just putting on the ritz, our God is an awesome God," I think it is more meaningful that way.
Regardless, His rolled up sleeves have been evident to me lately in the answering of prayer. I won't go deep into specifics, but I have a friend who has been in the process of getting a job for several months now. After multiple interviews and red tape he got a call saying he got the job.
Pretty awesome, and He wasn't just putting on the ritz.
I know this isn't a life or death situation, and I know a lot of people have to worry about worse things than landing a good job, but I am also keenly aware that we matter to God. Our hopes and fear, desires and purpose were uniquely crafted for each and every one of us by Him, so why is it that He wouldn't care?
There are indeed times when I know God is not going to say yes to my prayer and other times when he will just ignore them all together.
Prayer closes doors as well. Sometimes we get so excited about an opportunity only to have a door slammed on our face, thats okay. Hard, but okay.
Regardless He has thunder in His footsteps and lightning in His fists, our God is an awesome God.
