Random Acts of God Kindness

God is full of surprises. He is absolutely, unashamedly full of mind blowing ideas. Whenever I think I have him remotely understood, he makes it perfectly clear that is not going to happen.

So much in his Word is direct and clear, but it is the gray stuff that keeps us on our toes. I have had my life intersected of late by random God acts. Kindnesses spoken through the homeless man on the corner, insights only God could have told him about me. Yes, I was the one who received from him. He ministered to me, reaching out with God thoughts while holding his "Help me I need work" sign in his other hand.

Far stretching dreams and hopes have been quickly rewarded. Even things I offered to Him, almost in jest because I didn't really need them. So, again God reminds me that need isn't the only God motivator.

God is touched by our sicknesses and our tragedies, but he also is inspired by our desires and our pure hearts that are honest and genuine. Be unashamedly real with God. He knows you and he responds like the limitless King he is.

Its a Soul Thing

It’s a Soul Thing

I just finished sending a tweet out about a great restaurant in Nashville. Before that I was filming a webisode video segment to promote The Miracle Tour. Earlier today, I was on-line at a coffee house reviewing some other video network’s productions and reviewing some writing drafts on their wi-fi. My days has been inundated with technology and conversations about the meaning and application of media.

Although I love all of these options, at the end of the day I felt depleted. My mental hard drive was full and by emotional downloads had taken a lot out of me through consultations. No matter how passionate I feel about these things, I am a finite being. My tank was empty and I had the need for in-put of my own.

We are not purely intellectual beings. We are primarily spiritual beings encased with a highly fragile wrapper. The best way I can describe how and what our society does to me sometimes, is as a sort of sunburn to my soul. Way too much glaring light can cause damage. Someone close the blinds and shut the sunroof for awhile, please!

When the Bible says “He restoreth my soul,” I am beginning to get this concept. When I pull away from the world and spend some time decluttering and defragmenting my heart and mind, I find peace. It is absolutely essential to just be in His presence and soak in the peace He brings.

Our souls are vulnerable. Too much current and we short out and become without value, unable to walk out our divine design.

Mark 8:36 What profits a man if he gains the whole world, but forfeits his soul?
