How do you explain? How do explain the tiny intricate details that God handles for you to someone who believes in God, but puts their faith in coincidence or better...science! Now, I'm not saying that God does not work through science or that people who are scientific can't believe in the acts of God. What I am saying is how do explain things like…we live in a very simple house. It’s a nice way of saying we don’t have a washer or dryer and so cleaning our clothes is a very “handy” thing, if you get my drift! In any case the climate here the last couple days has been really cool and overcast, not good weather for drying clothes. This morning I awoke and I knew we needed to clean some clothes for the days coming events. When I was in the patio, out-back of the house the sky was overcast and had only one or two pinholes of sky showing. I began to wash and as I did I began to pray and I asked the Lord for sunshine, cause I needed dry clothes for this afternoon. By the time I began to hang-up my shirts, there were patches of blue with the sun beaming through, by the time I had finished “our shorts”…my wife doesn’t play FUTBOL…there were only a few patches of clouds. Now, if you know tropical weather in the mountains the clouds can stay for days; there is no telling when a break might come! Does God answer small requests…I would say certainly!
Or, how would you explain to someone sitting on a bench that I followed God’s call for us to move here, and that after we had been here for more than two or three weeks I began to question God if I had heard his voice correctly. I did not question God on His ability, but on mine! We were lying in bed and I began to pray…now at this time we needed to turn the light bulb in its socket for our room to be dark. As per the norm, I rotated the bulb and the light went out, we went to bed and had spent sometime in bed. I asked the Lord, ”God, I need to know that I’ve gotten out of the boat after your voice, if I’m following your will correctly can you please turn the light on?” I finished my prayer and then closed my eyes…I breadth, looked at my wife, gave a sigh and closed my eyes…I think it was my second breath when then the light came on! I know that if you’re sitting on a bench, maybe in a boat, you can find a logical conclusion, a rational explanation!! But how do you explain, it wasn’t anything but God!!
