Supernatural
Read:
1 Corinthians 12:1-11
God
is there and He is watching He tells me all is well
God
is there, there’s no denying He’s supernatural
In
six days, the universe was made And from the dead a man was raised
They
say he walked across the waves And I’ll believe it to my grave
God
is supernatural God is there, everywhere
Some
things just can’t be explained
From
the lyrics to the song “Supernatural” recorded by DC Talk
In
this day and age of reality television there are countless shows
about the supernatural. Ghost hunting and ghost story shows are
numerous with each providing proof of their ‘findings’ through
recordings, eyewitness accounts and video footage. Some of these
shows are based on people seeking out the supernatural (always in
some dark, creepy place)—others find it by chance or it finds them.
It appears the television networks have taken the liberty to define
the supernatural as something that is benign, evil or simply
unexplained. I beg to differ.
I
believe the supernatural also defines God and that sometimes
mysterious way He works to heal, comfort, feed and teach us each day.
God talks to us when we listen, leads us when we allow him and helps
us in our time of need. How? Well sometimes it’s hard to explain,
isn’t it? But you just know. That small prayer is answered. A
friend shows up at the right time or says the right thing to lift
your spirits (how did they know?).
If
you think about it, God was and still is on the cutting edge—there
are ‘God seeking’ shows on every Sunday and have been for
years—the first reality television so to speak. Broadcasts of
church services of almost every denomination are televised on Sunday
mornings.
But
seeking God and all he promises on reality television isn’t really
my preference.
Experiencing
the Word of God at my own church with a community of people that
support and care for each other is one of the best ways to experience
the supernatural gifts and powers of our Lord and Savior.
