DOIN WORK.

At a party. At the airport. At a friend’s house. At the grocery store. You meet new people in so many different places – and in so many different scenarios. Its interesting – no matter the setting of the conversation – that conversation moves in a specific direction almost 100% of the time. Its only a matter of time, when you meet a new person, before this question gets asked: “so, what do you do?”

you can determine so much about a person by what they do. It reveals what someone is passionate about, where their loyalties are, what they value, etc. We ascribe so much of our identity to our professional life. I don’t think a person should be pigeonholed by what they do – but my point is that what someone DOES can reveal a lot who that person IS.

Isn’t it the same with God? Couldn’t it be that if we want to know more about who God IS, we could study what God DOES? From The Red Sea to The Sea of Galilee and from Mt. Siani to the Mount of Olives – if we pay attention to what God does, we can learn so much about who he is: it’s impossible to separate the actions of God from the character of God.

Lets ask God the question, “So, what do you do?”  and see what we can learn from his answer.
