What has God done for you lately?

Someone asked a question on another blog about how God works in a Christian's life. He said he just didn't 'get it.' This was a reply from Charles, 'our' Charles, aka Charles the C, or Just Call Me Charles. Sometimes, that boy just gets it right. :) I don't think he will mind my printing it here...

"E..., it's difficult to explain to a nonbeliever. Let's say, for ease of conversation, that we have different mindsets. We believe that all is done through the Lord, that we really accomplish nothing on our 'own.' We don't think you do either. :) What have you accomplished in life without any help at all, not from mother, father, friend, government workers, someone? How do you know that person was not 'sent' by the Lord to help you? Maybe you have accomplished something worthwhile totally on your own. I'm not so sure I have.

Genesis 2:18 "And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him."

See, from the very beginning, God realized man would not make it alone. That's why he gave us women. :) P... is a woman who's trying to help you. Straighten up!

My answer to your question is that God works in our lives through other people, the way he most always works. Oh, sometimes, he will toss a tornado or blow a tsunami or get our attention in some spectacular way but, usually, he just quietly does it through his children.

Read the Bible E... If you do long enough, the Holy Spirit will come by and visit and you will 'get it.'"

I couldn't say it better.
