We, as writers, are in a unique place for God to be able to use.  As writers, we encourage the church into believing and having faith in the promises God has given the church throughout the ages.  We help others see their purpose and claim the promises God has already given to them. 

 

I need to remind myself of these things as well.  As writers, we sometimes forget God has a purpose for our lives.  We get bogged down in the creativity of writing and forget to look up at the things that are trending in this world.

 

I was talking with someone the other day who mentioned “the stethoscope” incident that is in the news and social media forums.  I had to ask what it was all about.  Of course, when she explained it I still didn’t “get it.” I guess because I know some really good people who are healthcare providers.  But, apparently the trending news has bogged down into the story of someone wanting to show how important healthcare people really are.

 

Wouldn’t it be great if someone would get bogged down in the story of how great Jesus is and how much of a hero he has been in their lives?

 

That’s an old story though.  Jesus just doesn’t wake people up like he used to. But what if, as writers we started writing things that He has done for us lately. 

 

Recently, my pastor saw that my son needed a vehicle. It would have been a second vehicle for him. But I believe God lead him to make his decision.  Because without that second vehicle, when I totaled mine, my son would not have been able to help me to destinations needed to get to.  But then, my son’s vehicle stopped working on him.  Without that second vehicle, He would not have been able to get to his work and destinations.  God saw the need before our pastor, and used him to meet that need. 

 

Are we meeting the needs of those around us?  When we see a fellow Christian in trouble are we trying to lend a helping hand? Are we letting God lead our every step?  Can you see the blessing on the other side of your trouble?  Can you see the hand of the Lord working through the problems you have? 

 

As writers we need to start writing about the goodness of God and how He orders our steps in everything we do.  God does have a way of working everything out.

 

I still believe God has a great sense of humor! Laugh with Him. He is good.
