One Question

I came across this verse the other day while reading a book.
They are red letter words; Jesus speaking. 
From John 5:17:
 
source – text added


I can’t get His words out of my head.
His words and some questions that invite my response.

Do I believe that God is always at His work, to this very day?
Do I believe that Jesus is living and active and working in me and through me and for me? 
Do I really believe that He’s always working?

I’ve been thinking a lot about my answers to these questions, because the implications are huge. 

If God is at work today – if Jesus is alive and working right now … Would I even perceive it? Am I paying attention? Would I notice His presence and His movement in my day to day enough to engage? Enough to participate?

“When we don’t pay attention to what God is doing,
we dishonor and devalue him.” – Leonard Sweet


Yes, that.  But also, when I don’t pay attention to my Father {who is at His work this very day}, I miss Him, and ultimately, I miss out.

Friends, what if we’re missing Him?

Are you paying attention? Do you believe?

{Open our eyes, Jesus. We don’t want to miss out on you.}

    oh, I love that photo! I'm longing for Spring! Especially with all our winter weather – your soul can become winterized if you aren't careful!
