I am listening to the worship of the last session of the Prophecy conference here at Bethel. When you hear the song, "Bless the Lord O My Soul" how could I not take a moment to reflect. The biggest testimony is my life. Wow, we each could take a moment to reflect on His goodness that we can move, breath, live and just be. He loves us so. We can look at the vastness of the universe and be bewildered at His majesty reflected in each star that He has named. But my favorite is to reflect on how at this very moment I am able to put words together on a piece of paper, make sense as I write them and realize that in all of that I am not telling my hand to type, my mind to think, or my eyes to see and yet this note is being completed.
Sometimes in life we want answers to the things that make no sense or seem so big we could never understand them but I tend to go back to one of my favorite stories of a great American, George Washington Carver. Mr. Washington-Carver was asked how he discovered the secrets of the peanut. He shares that it all started when he asked God for the secret of the universe. No answer came. So, he asked about the secrets of our world. Still no answer. Then as he walked in a peanut field he asked God, what is the secret of this peanut? Ah, the answers began to flow and today we have so many benefits from his pursuit of the mysteries of God.
It is in the small things that we find the simplicity of life to hold the most profound impact on our lives and the lives of others. What goodness of God can you see in your life? It may not be the big things but in the very small such as the breaths you take as you have read this blog.
