Last night during men’s group I reminded the guys of the phenomenon where when you buy a new car (or at least new to you), suddenly you see that make and model of car on the road everywhere else. The truth is, they were always there, you’re just now recognizing that they are there. In psychological terms this is called your reticular activating system.
We were discussing this in the terms of God opening doors everyday to share our faith either verbally or through acts of service, but that many times we miss them because we haven’t turned on our minds to be conscious of the opportunities the Spirit is presenting us.
In any case, let me encourage you to today become aware of how God is speaking to you through the various things going on in your life. I know for me personally I’m being challenged by Him in many ways and it’s been amazing hearing His voice through the words of others, through e-mails, through books, through even my devotional time this morning in my leadership bible where the topic was EXACTLY the issue I’m dealing with right now. It would be so easy to miss out on these things all together or think it’s just some strange coincidence but eventually even someone as thickheaded as me realizes that “Wait a second this is actually God.” So turn your RAS on, God is waiting on the other side.
