God Works Through Us!

Relationships —

I love the movie "Evan Almighty"! It was very clean and funny! There were a lot of good parallels to it. Obedience, Perseverance, and Relationship.

It is so easy to miss the Big Picture when we read a lot of the stories in the Bible. God Works Through Us. There is a symbiotic Relationship there that we often pass up a lot of the times. We often find times that will come up like someone needing some sort of help (you fill in the blank), and then we will say I know God has His hand on it, or God has control of it. The better response should be I know God has His eye on it. Because God works through His People. If you feel a tug at your heart for something (considering your spouse is OK with it) do it. That is His heart connecting to yours, that tugging feeling. Respond to it somehow. Jesus fed the 5,000 not by His own hands, but by His disciples hands. They are the ones who multiplied the bread by the power of God.

Romans 8:11 says we have the SAME Power that raised Christ from the dead INSIDE US. It is IN US. We just need to do something for God with it.
