Yesterday, when my colleague experienced the re-baptism of the Holy Spirit during our praise and worship, I suddenly realized one thing – LIFE HAS NO OTHER WAY BUT GOD’S WAY.
I have seen cases like this: One gets “converted” then backslides for a reason or two, then after years of going nowhere and proving nothing to God, the path God has set for them is once again revisited.
This recalls to mind Jonah’s story (found in the Book of Jonah, of course) and how Jonah ran away from God’s assignment only to realize that he can never outrun God. The Book of Jonah reminds us that God is a big god, and His ways are beyond our ways, His thoughts higher than our thoughts (Isaiah 55:8-9) and we can never really do anything “of our own accord” to outlast Him. His patience is supreme, His righteousness abound, and His love for us really is beyond human measure.
I submit to His divine says, and for whatever reason God has last night for showing things we never expected - but hoping for anyway – makes me more in awe of His power and ways.
To God be the glory.
