Courageous: Lessons about God working in Your Life

You have to know that sometimes God will do the miraculous in your life!  Why not all the time?  I cannot answer that.  I just know that sometimes He does.

In the movie, Javier is facing the edge of financial ruin losing job after job.  While it looks hopeless, we have to remember that God does some of His best work in the hopeless realm.  Javier is rejected from a job that he thought he had in the bag, so you can imagine his frustration.  Suddenly a man, who Javier does not know calls his name from a yard, and tells him to come over; he’s been waiting for him.

So without spoiling the great storyline details, he gets to earn some good money and has even greater surprises from the hand of God in the future.

It seems to me that we only really call out to God when we are in serious distress.  Other than that we can handle it.  God seems to show up most when we acknowledge our need for Him and/or when we are looking for Him to work.

I believe as the Bible says that He is ready and able to do anything beyond what we could ever ask or imagine.  So let’s look to Him first and seek what He would like to do in the situations of our lives and give Him a chance to work.
