HOW to WOW

Galations 2:20
20I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

Is there anything more incredible than that? The God of the universe has chosen you and have given you a piece of the kingdom to have and share for all eternity. The same God who comes into your heart when you put your trust in Him and let lead your life. The same God who can transform your life from selfishness to giving to others. Too many times we put a lid on God - we don't expect Him to do anything supernatural for us. Miracles happen everyday and many times God intervenes in our life when we don't even know it.

Many of us are still stuck in the HOW mode of God. As we begin our walk with Christ, we learn so many things about God and His ways. We can't help but to think HOW because we as humans are inquisitive and we want to know HOW. Leaping from HOW to WOW is when we become followers of Christ and not just sitting on the sidelines. WOW in Christ is when God is moving us and showing us many things that many times we can't explain. Its when we have full faith and trust in Jesus that He shows up and WOW's us with the supernatural.

My friend Shelley - lost her job last week. With a shock of this happening and the sting that it leaves - God instantly removed that by the end of the week. How turned to WOW when a contact was brought out of the dark and a job lead was plopped in her lap. The dream job - the job that offers hope right now for my dear friend and her family. It is the Divine Appointment that God has put together for His faithful and trusting servant. When Shelley called me Friday - there is WOW in her voice!!! This is what I am talking about here.... when things happen that God has had His hands in and we just can't believe our eyes.
Its time for many of us to move from the How - to the WOW. Experience God loved ones, and let Him WOW you. It's time to get off the fence - time to get off the indecision in life - are you a Christian or not?

Colossions 3:1
1Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. 2Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. 3For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. 4When Christ, who is your[a] life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.

Take the lid off of God - expect Him to deliver - Expect Him to show up when you need Him. Focus on Him for the everyday routine but also during those times of struggle and hurt. Focus loved ones - and set your eyes upon Jesus. WOW is only a step in faith away.

Love you all,
