Being a believer is manageable in ordinary time, but when darkness threatens to swallow us up, walking the talk becomes more than just a challenging adventure. The experience pulls us into the lonely vortex of a God Moment. Staring down the end of “what is humanly possible,” we come face to face with powerlessness, with our own helplessness, and with the Presence of God. He’s there, where He’s always been, waiting for us to want to live in His Presence and His Power, waiting to be invited to do what we cannot do, waiting to be asked–but we *need* to ask, and to trust the God who sustains and rescues all who call out to Him. These are times when we begin to appreciate the value of surrender. Listen to Paul testifying, in the middle of his last battle, of his God’s faithfulness.
The Lord stayed with me and gave me strength, so that I was able to proclaim the full message for all to hear; and I was rescued from being sentenced to death. And the Lord will rescue me from all evil and take me safely into his heavenly Kingdom. To him be the glory forever and ever! Amen. (2 Timothy 4:17-18)
What do your “God Moments” look like?
