I know that this may be repetitive by now, but we do have an amazing God and yet again He has shown it to me today.
As I was going through my drawers I found all my old notes with words from God and pictures/words from others they felt over me and my life. It was so encouraging to read them and remind myself that God has a plan, and that there is an aim, there is a focus in my life. Whilst reading over them God highlighted a certain one to me, that was so relevant to what I was facing.
After sitting for what must have been hours trying to do my essay, I have to say I felt so dejected when all that ended up on the piece of paper was a few notes, that were not going to give me the 2,500 words I needed. I felt stupid,unintelligent and I think I actually begged God for a brain!! So I turned to my daily reading and it was then that I realised God's humour and how God works in mysterious ways. I'm currently reading Incomparable by Andrew Wilson and today was "God the Creator" as I continued to read through it there was an overwhelming sense of relevancy and when I reached the very end of the chapter I realised God's humour in it all and His superb sensibility to my emotions...
"If God carefully designed every diatom, how much more can we be sure that he made us, his people, carefully and wonderfully!...An even more astonishing example of God's craftsmanship is the human brain, perhaps the most baffling and amazing created thing on earth: The human brain is heralded for its staggering complexity and processing capability...the storage capacity of the human brain is nearly infinite...During our life-time, our brain will have amassed...to more than five times the amount of the total printed material in the world!" (pg. 38, Incomparable)
It just spoke to me and made me see how intricately He has designed my brain, and even if it didn't seem to be flowing at that moment, it just made me sit back and laugh. He loves it when we come to Him, God has an awesome sense of humour, an acute sensibility to every emotion and situation and even better He has the solution! When we feel weak, all we need to remember is... "I can do everything through Him who gives me strength" Philippians 4:13 (NIV) He showed me today that when we feel weak we have Him, I wrote that verse on my hand and for the rest of the day I was reminded that Christ is in me, and my strength is not mine alone, but His. Today God has shown me His diverse character, the greatest comedian of all is, by far God. The more I learn of God the more I love Him. So I guess, if a challenge is to be given it is this... How well do you know God? How much do you want to get to know Him? (It should be a burning desire, a passion for all of us, for He took the time to create us and takes the time to care for us...I think He deserves the effort! Don't you?)
