This thng we’re in is an issue of faith. I wish it wasn’t. I wish it was just an issue of knowing, solid, with no uncertainty. The fact is, God is invisible. I wish He wasn’t. I wish it wasn’t the Goldilocks deal it is. The three bears get home and discover someone has been messing with their porridge, chairs, and beds. It isn’t until the end of the story that they run into that “someone” – Goldilocks. The reality is, it isn’t until the end of this journey that we run into Jesus Christ. The only thing we have are these little evidences, little nudgings of the soul, little things that change. When they change, you think, somebody’s been messing with this. I think it’s God….
An epiphany is when you see something that you didn’t previously see. What’s interesting about faith is that a huge part of faith is about seeing what you couldn’t see before. In fact, the whole idea about faith is you begin to perceive things which are unseen, and you become confident in what you can not see with your eyes because you’re seeing with eyes of faith. Scripture calls this the eyes of your heart; and you begin to see what you previously couldn’t see. Somehow, this journey of being apprentices of Christ is full of that idea. We need to understand that Christianity isn’t so much a religion where we run at God. Rather, it’s an experience where God shows stuff about himself, and we go “whoa, I never saw that!” And because you see it – it changes you.
God isn’t trying to be involved in our lives just to make us feel better, and us try to find our own way and use God as currency to get what we want. God will help you. Even if you’re a selfish moron, God will still be there to help you. But life is fairly flat when it’s about things…. Jesus said, if you gain the whole world, you end up paling your soul. And when your soul becomes pale, you won’t even be happy when you gain it! You’re only supposed to have success and prosperity in your life to the degree that your soul is prospering. Don’t get out of sync, don’t try to drive your own life. Joy is in finding the sync with why you have been created to be in this place.
