Casting aside the Clouds
We read the the gospels that when John baptized Jesus in the Jordan, the heavens were opened...And a voice came from the heavens, saying, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased." (Mt 3:16-17)
So, what happened? Something great is being revealed, and who is hearing it? More importantly, who is being changed by it?
How many times in our lives have similar wonderfully spiritual manifestations been made, with similar effect. It goes to show just how powerful we are. We can witness or experience, and yet still resist being moved.
If we only used that power to our advantage, what wonderful realities would break forth in our lives. Often our power is clouded by darkness that cast shadows of doubt, second-guessing, and fear. But shadows can be dispelled by reality. We have within ourselves an amazing ability to do nothing less than to effect change and to break patterns. Let's not let the opportunity slip pass us. Life is too short to miss out.
