I thought of this yesterday on the way to work. A song came on the radio in the car and it reminded me of something that happened way back in my sophomore year at Liberty (2008-2009, in case you were wondering). My roommate's boyfriend was going through a difficult time of repentance...my roommate had heard this song (the same one I heard on the radio yesterday) that she shared with him, because it applied to his situation...she was driving over to his apartment one day and the song came on the radio...the same day, when she came back to the dorm, I was listening to that same song on my computer. This instigated her telling me the whole story and us both being amazed by God in that moment, which He had clearly orchestrated.
Since that time, I have experienced countless "God moments." God has never ceased to amaze me by how He can knit seemingly separate situations into one ordained moment. However, yesterday, when I heard that song on the way to work, I realized that I am no longer surprised when He does things like that. I am not saying that it is a good thing or a bad thing...I am just saying that sometimes when we feel like God is not working in our lives, it is because we have become so used to Him working that we almost don't acknowledge His work anymore. We just need to be careful that we do not let this turn into apathy towards His hands in our lives, or apathy towards reading the Bible (especially passages that we have read countless times, like the crucifixion...the most incredible story ever told), or apathy towards our brothers and sisters in Christ who just can't seem to climb above certain struggles.
Open your eyes, and be amazed.
