Many wish for the spectacular and overt signs of God’s hand in signs and wonders but few devote themselves to discerning the direction that the Spirit is already taking in his usual hidden ministry in the world. Mostly we are “practical atheists” who believe that we need to get on with our lives and “make things happen”. Work and family life, and even church-going, can seem so dull and predictable. An awesome sense of the simplicity and incomprehensible depth of the everyday activity of God… Yet so few Christians seem to be able to “see” these astounding linkages. The interconnections of the plans and purposes of God running through our lives and all creation are countless and inexpressibly wonderful (Ps 139:17 Rom 11:33-36). This is a process whereby we are being eternalised.Īs we learn from the Spirit to watch the dialogue between the Father and Son that runs through everything our sense of the wisdom and goodness of God never ceases to grow (Eph 4:6 Col 1:15f). It is a brilliant privilege to be called to be co-workers who cooperate with the artistry of the Lord in his amazing work of forming us in the image of Christ (Rom 8:28-30 2 Cor 6:1). Our Father will never require anything more from us other than to watch what he was saying and doing in our midst and conform to it. ““The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart”” (Rom 10:8). Our first task of our spirituality is to watch the Word and obey it. There is no space, not matter how seemingly small and insignificant, where the Word of God is not already at work (Heb 1:3 11:3 2 Pet 3:5-7). What the LORD said to the prophet, “I am watching over my word to perform it.” (Jer 1:12) provides a clue to the leading of God in our lives. He speaks His word and then watches over it to perform it. The word that God sends out, He will quickly perform it, it will spring forth as quickly as an almond tree does. The thing seen is a very proper emblem of what I am about to do, and the quick dispatch that will be made therein: for l will hasten my word to perform it the words, “shoked ani”, “I will hasten”, or “I am hastening”, are in allusion to “shoked”, the name of the almond tree in Hebrew which is so called because it is quick and early, and, as it were, hastens to bring forth its flowers, leaves, and fruit in like manner the Lord says he would hasten to perform what he had said or should say by him concerning the destruction of Jerusalem, and the captivity of the people, and every thing else he should give him in commission to say.įrom: Gill’s Exposition of the Entire Bible Then said the Lord unto me, thou hast well seen,…. Then said the LORD unto me, You have well seen: for I will hasten my word to perform it.

So, Father Lord, change my story that I may live life abundantly as You have promised. Lord, You said (John 10:10) You came that I may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows) and Your Word says that if anyone does not work, he cannot eat (2 Thessalonians 3:10).
