How Odd is That?

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart
    and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him,
    and he will make your paths straight.”

Proverbs 3:5-6

Say What?

God’s methods are sometimes downright peculiar to say the least.

A man comes to the prophet of God with a ‘death sentence’ on him called leprosy.

God’s instruction:

Go dip yourself seven times in the Jordan River.

And it worked!

A blind man calls out to Jesus

God’s instruction:

Spit in the dirt, make a mud pie and rub it in his eyes.

And it worked!

Jesus, your dear friend Lazarus is very, very sick.

God’s instruction:

Wait two days before you go. He is not yet dead and I have a greater work in mind.

And it worked!

You and I are dead in trespasses and sin.

God’s instruction:

Go, my beloved Son, Lamb of God and die in their place

And it worked!

God’s instructions may not always seem to make sense to you and me.

But when obeyed – they work!

What is God asking you to do?

It will work!
