Heaven and Earth
Early in his life Charles Stanley was influenced by his mother and his grandfather. His grandfather was a minister who share some of life and ministry principles that have influenced his walk with God.
I came across a few of them in a little book entitled, Courageous Faith by Charles Stanley. I have been doing a great deal of thinking about one of them. It says this, “God will move heaven and earth to reveal His will to you if you really want to know it and to do it.”
We are truly living in challenging times. We are faced with many challenges and needs in our time. As I have reflected on this statement, I am convinced that one of the greatest needs of our time is for those of us who follow Christ to demonstrate this type of faith before a watching world.
Do I have faith that God is like that? Do I believe he will move heaven and earth to show his will to me if I really want to know it and commit to obey it? What would it look like to our community and our state and our nation if we demonstrated that type of faith as a church?
Our community and our nation desperately need to see people who are convinced that God is really like that. What a powerful and wonderful God we serve!
“God will move heaven and earth to reveal His will to you if you really want to know it and do it.” George Washington Stanley (Charles Stanley’s grandfather)
