reality
reality is sometimes a hard thing to grasp. it seems like it should be easy cause, well, it's reality. but i think it's harder than we realize.it's especially hard for those of us who know that reality could be different. we have to live in the reality of this broken world, yet we hope in the reality that we serve a BIG GOD who can do GREAT things. and we so often forget that simple Truth, that God is bigger than us and the world we live in.
and so we don't pray big. we don't pray specifically. we don't pray persistently. we don't pray passionately. and then we don't see God do big things, because we haven't asked him to.
| But Hannah answered, “No, my lord, I am a woman troubled in spirit. I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but I have been pouring out my soul before the Lord. | |
| “Do not regard your servant as a worthless woman, for all along I have been speaking out of my great anxiety and vexation.” |
| “And now, Lord, look upon their threats and grant to your servants[fn5] to continue to speak your word with all boldness, | |
| “while you stretch out your hand to heal, and signs and wonders are performed through the name of your holy servant Jesus.” | |
| And when they had prayed, the place in which they were gathered together was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and continued to speak the word of God with boldness. |
So let's pour out our hearts to a God who has the power to make a great reality.
