God speaks through a jackass…
God speaks to us (1) with a still, small voice, (2) in the storm, (3) through prayer, (4) through circumstances, (5) through His Word, (6) through members of the Body of Christ, (7) with metaphors, images, and symbols, (8) through stories and testimonies, (9) through Creation, (10) through small children. He can even speak through a jackass, which is where preachers like me come in, i.e., Paul, “the foolishness of preaching.”
Wake up, O sleeper. He will give you light.
That moment when you “wake up” and realize that God has just answered a prayer or worked something out or blessed you in some specific way, and you had been clueless, maybe even annoyed that He had not done anything for you in recent memory. I had such a moment today. Jacob had such a moment: “Then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, ‘Surely the LORD is in this place, and I did not know it.'” Genesis 28:6
Step on it! Mike’s praying again!
“Who rides the heavens to your help, and through the skies in His majesty. The eternal God is a dwelling place, and underneath are the everlasting arms.” Deut. 33:26‑27
Just picture Jesus on His horse (like in Revelation), riding across the heavens to help us. The Lord of the heavenly cavalry is charging to your rescue, and He’s bringing an army of angels to help. He does this because He cares for you. He proved that on calvary. (Note: calvary, from Latin, “the skull.” Cavalry, from Latin, cavalos, “the horse.”
This God is our Rescuer, and He is a secure dwelling place, a refuge to which we can run. We live in Him, and He lives in us. He is an eternal refuge, always there for us. His everlasting arms hold us up and undergird us.
“The Eternal God is our refuge, and underneath are the Everlasting Arms.”
