Unexplainable Power

"I tell you the truth, we speak of what we know, and we testify to what we have seen, but still you people do not accept our testimony" (John 3:11).

When is the last time God did something in your business life that can only be explained as God? Was it yesterday? Was it just last week? A month ago? A year ago? The answer to this question may mean several things. If it has been some time since you saw the activity of God in such a way that you know it was His hand, you may not be trusting to a level that requires faith. You may not be risking enough for God to show Himself. The converts in the early church changed the world they lived in because of what they saw and heard. It was the power of the gospel that changed lives, not what they learned from mere teaching. This power drew people to Christ. Things happened that could not be explained other than the activity of God. Is that the kind of faith you are experiencing in your life? Many of us live a wholesome, moral life, but the activity of God is not seen by those we associate as anything that cannot also be achieved by themselves. That is why many are not drawn to our lives. The power of God is not evident. The Lord has been challenging me to trust Him at levels I have never trusted before. This level of trust has placed me in a vulnerable position. However, the blessing of this relationship is that I see the activity of God as never before, and those close to me see it as well. It builds their faith and draws others to investigate.

Sometimes the activity of God comes in unusual ways. God often sets up scenes that appear to be negative on the front end, but God has orchestrated these events for his glory.

_ Without Pharaoh's pursuit of Israel at the Red Sea, there is no miracle. _ Without Lazarus's death, there is no resurrection. _ Without Goliath, there are no underdog stories. _ Without Peter stepping out of the boat, there is no miracle on the water. _ Without Judas's betrayal, there is no resurrection.

God wants to show Himself in ways you and I cannot imagine. Let God demonstrate His power in your marketplace today. Then, you will see "all men drawn unto me."
