So this morning I went to the gym to run on the treadmill and get a mini workout in before class at ten. As I was getting ready doing some stretching I overheard the conversation of two of the people on the ellipticals. I think they were professors, I am not sure what they taught, but they were debating the existence of God, Satan, etc. Some people who are really smart simply over think the simply divine nature of God. They think He has to be complicated and complex, He is; however, He is also amazingly simple. I used to over think Him too. I am so glad I don't have to anymore!
I went and got on the treadmill, and Yes, I continued to eavesdrop on their conversation! As I listened to them, I realized that they were in the same place that I was when I started on this journey about 6 years ago. They are in that place of being hungry for more to life than just breathing in and out everyday, the place of searching, longing for purpose. So as I turned on the treadmill, I began to pray for them. I prayed for God encounters. I prayed and asked God to reveal Himself to them just as He did for me. I asked that He would make Himself known to them that they would know Him and be known. God's Word says that He doesn't want anyone to perish, not a single one.
I prayed to myself. I didn't go up and ask them if I could pray for them, I just prayed in my heart. I know that God heard my prayers. They quickly changed the conversation, which I am not sure if that was because I was praying or because they figured out I was eavesdropping! ;O) Who knows! What I do know is that those two people are getting ready to embark on a journey in their life that they will never forget! I know I couldn't! This has been an Amazing journey with an Amazing God and it has only just begun!
