Glorious Revelation

This past weekend, I attended a conference in Myrtle Beach known as Converge.  While there, I began to debate with myself about many different issues.  Lately, I have been asking God to just allow me to see Him.  One of the reasons that I have been praying on this is to just alleviate doubt in my mind. Doubt of who God is and also of His position in my life.  While I believe that God is Sovereign and that without Him I am nothing, sometimes I just need to be reminded, I hate being like this and don't like it, but it still seems to happen.  Then, one our second night at the conference, the group I was with got back from dinner around sunset.  
A friend of mine and I then decided to try to go to the top of the hotel.  When we got there, the sun was setting and the view was incredible.  It was at this time that I began to realize something.  I had been wanting God to show up and do something spectacular like heal a sick person or give me A's in all of my classes, but in reality, God was and is demonstrating Himself and His glory constantly.  A few passages that speak of this very issue are Psalm 8 and Job 38.  Job 38 especially speaks concerning God revealed in creation.  Isaiah 55:8 says: "For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways my ways, " declares the Lord.  Now, I have a question, if God truly is Lord of all, who am I to question Him? And if I doubt, God provides everyday revelation for me to see His glory.

  1. Your 100% correct. I think alot of times we look for big impressive ways for God to show up, when often he appears in the simplest ways. Good Post Trey!
