Mysterious and Fleet
Tuesday, June 29, 2010 at 11:07AM Yesterday we talked about the book of Esther, a story in the Bible in which the name of God is never mentioned. Yet God is the unseen person behind, in front of, above, around, over, and in all that happens.
Job confirms it when he says,
Look, he passes by me, and I do not see him;he moves on, but I do not perceive him (Job 9:11 NRSV)
It is one of the challenges of the life of faith: to figure out where God is working and cooperate with the Spirit.
"God is mysterious and fleet, not easily seen..." (Wesley Study Bible Notes)
This is one of the reasons the spiritual disciplines (prayer, Bible reading, gathering with other Christians, etc.) are so important. We need to be constantly sharpening our skills and honing in on God's movement.
May you give time and attention to the subtle movements of God in your life and the lives of those around you today.
Grace & Peace
