[Discoveries] 01-06-08 Ways and deeds -- Psalm 103:7

[Inspiration in Your Inbox]

/*He made known His ways to Moses, His deeds to the people of Israel. -- 
Psalm 103:7*/

God meets us with both ways and deeds -- explanation and with 
experience. Both are needed. Explanation without experience doesn't hold 
up in the real world. Wind and waves don't listen to explanations. 
Giants don't fall with explanations. Dead don't rise with explanations.

But experience without explanation invites in every kind of false god 
and every kind of confusion. God wants us to know who He really is.

I briefly dated an identical twin when I was in college. She told me 
about young men who had called for a date. When she asked which twin the 
young man was calling for, he said, "It doesn't matter. They both look 
the same."

What an insult! They knew very well that they were different, and if the 
young man didn't want to take the time to discover something about their 
distinct personalities before inviting one of them out, he need not have 
bothered calling.

God will show up in our experiences, but keep in mind that the enemy 
will too. But let them explain themselves and we will discover a world 
of difference.

Be encouraged!
Dwight
