step by step

In chaotic life situations God doesn’t want us to give up.
He has prepared a way out. The way might include hundreds
of smaller decisions that we have to make to the right direction.
Miracles sound like an easy way out.
Should we expect miracles from God or should we make more
efforts on our behalf? This is the dilemma of faith.
In a fatalistic faith structure believers recognize the sovereignty
of God but think too little of themselves.
In living faith everything is connected with our personal
relationship with God.
We are not just brainless victims in his irresistible kingdom,
we are his friends.
For some religious people it is an abomination to call God a friend.
They would argue that this attitude diminishes the authority of God
and makes him too human.
The incarnation of Christ is the true evidence that God is not
afraid of becoming human.
He has chosen to lead us step by step, thought by thought,
day by day. It almost looks like he wants to guarantee that we
talk with him daily.
“ and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
Matt. 28:20
“He leads me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.”
Psalm 23:3
