Like a cold glass of iced tea on a hot day

It's funny how God can remind you and speak to you often when you least expect it. Tonight I was surprised once again at his faithfulness as I listened to four of our students in LFC give their testimonies about how God is working in their lives. I have been excited about this night for awhile now, and even so, I was surprised at just how much God is working and how he always is. I don't know why it's so surprising to me, I believe He works, or at least I thought I did, but perhaps tonight was a reminder that believing and living it out are two different things. It's one thing to believe it, it's another to live as if it's true. I guess tonight I was reminded/challenged/confronted with the truth that I don't always live as though God is working in other people, my world seems to end at the end of my nose. But it was delightfully refreshing to get lost in the stories of God working in men and women who love him and want to live their lives to his glory. It was really refreshing. Lord, thanks for the grace and the love, for reminding me that this life is not about me, and how easily I can deceive myself into thinking it is. May you help me live tomorrow what I believe to be true in the depths of my heart, that you are living and active and at work in your people. I look forward to seeing your handiwork tomorrow!
