God—The Original Mover and Shaker
Our God is a God of constant action and adventure! From Genesis to Revelation
we see a God who
“neither slumbers nor sleeps.” (Ps. 121:4) Whenever
God shows up on the scene, things begin to
happen—and in a big way! Pillars
of fire, parting seas, rivers turning to blood, earthquakes, floods
—the Bible
has got to be the most action-packed Book that has ever been written! That’s
because the
Author is totally involved with His creation. He is continually
interacting with His people to bring about
His dynamic plans and purposes—not
only for their lives, but for whole cultures and entire nations as
well. The
clear testimony of the Bible is that everyone who submits his life to the Lord
will be swept up
into this whirlwind of action, excitement, and adventure that
is a part of the very being of God.
Abraham is a settled, “respectable” shepherd until he meets God. Then he has
one adventure after another
following the Lord’s command to “go forth from your
country…to the land which I will show you…” Moses
stumbles upon a burning bush
and embarks on a series of adventures so mind-boggling it takes four books of
the Bible to tell it all...
