With Great Energy...

It is common for people to view God as passive in the way He involves Himself on the earth. When God does show up and do something it is usually considered rare and treated like a miracle. What I actually see in scripture is a God who is very attentive and active on the earth. Here is a new favorite verse of mine…
“He spread apart the heavens and came down with a dark cloud under his feet. ~Psalms 18:9
In some of the earlier versions of the bible this verse is actually says ‘He rent the heavens…”. In other words, God was so motivated to get to earth that He tore down the walls of heaven in His haste to get here. This is an awesome picture of God; one we need to meditate on for a while. Know this, God is not passive in the way He comes to us. He is not passive in the way He shows up for you either. He watches, He protects, He pursues, He loves and He rushes to us when we need Him…WITH GREAT ENERGY. ~Verlon
