Coincidence

There are no coincidences when you live a life in Christ. Everything DOES happen for a reason, and God DOES talk back--whether it be through the written Word, the Holy Spirit, people, or the environment around us. We pray, we ask questions, we ask for guidance, for a response, for signs... and God gives them to us. What we need to do is listen.

There is no secret code. There is no genius method or philosophy that needs to be understood. God speaks to us in ways only WE can understand. He knows what we pay attention to, what we appreciate, what catches our eyes... and He uses those familiar ways to speak.

Many Christians live "holy" lives following strictly to the teachings of the Gospel. But how many of those Christians actually have an intimate relationship with God our Father (the whole point of Christianity and following those teachings)? This doesn't just mean praying and reading the Bible. Yes you have a relationship from communication... us praying, God speaking through the Bible. But it doesn't end there. God speaks to us through so many other ways... in ways only WE can know and appreciate. This is intimacy! This is the creator of all seeing us, seeing YOU, and specifically puzzling in ways to catch your attention so that He can talk to you, guide you, teach you..... love you.

Don't let the world blind you from God. "It's just a coincidence...." Think deeper. What have you been praying to God about lately? Connect the dots. Yes God speaks straightforwardly, but we also have to have that ounce of effort, that "seek and you will find", to show God we're ready to listen. Seek and you will find....


Just some random thoughts.
