God hit me with this thought recently: The way God did it in the past does not mean that’s the way he will do it in the present.
- On one occasion, God told Moses to strike the rock…another he was to speak to the rock.
- God moved the Israelites out of harms way with a protective covering over the doorposts…days later he moved an ocean to escape harm!
- Paul and Silas praised & worshipped and God opened the prison doors…Stephen worshipped through obediently sharing God’s message and God opened the windows of Heaven to welcome Stephen home.
Here’s the common theme: God received glory in each and every circumstance!
Just because God did it one way in the past doesn’t mean that’s how He will do it today. The key is to stay in perfect step with God’s heartbeat and trust in the Maker NOT the method. Sometimes He will lead us away from difficult circumstances, while others He will place us in them. One thing is certain…God will ordain the situation to see that He receives the most glory. The rest is just part of the narrative God uses to accomplish his purpose.
Are you tuned to His divine prerogative?
