Get Blown Away by God

   On my mission trip, one of the things that the speaker talked about was getting blown away by God. The Bible stories are incredible events that truly happened yet we often have heard them so much we don't care. Someone could come up to me and say "God used Moses to part the Red Sea!!!" And I would think, "I know." But if I was fishing in a tiny pond and some person comes and puts their stick in the mud and the pond splits, the bottom bone dry, I would freak out! When I read about Mary, a virgin, getting pregnant, I don't have to stop and reread that part, to think about it. But, should someone in today's world claim to be virgin and pregnant I would never believe them, that's too wild of a claim. But, God caused it to happen in Mary!
   There are even stories I wouldn't originally think of as miracles but are. Take Noah's Ark for example, I don't think it is scientifically possible for it to rain on the entire earth at once for 40 days, but it did. I'm surprised when it rains off and on for a week and  I often compare 'The Great Flood' to the 2 feet of water kind we get today. Or how Noah must of been feeling in the dark nasty boat to how I feel staring out the window of my house or car during a thunderstorm. I simply don't understand the greatness of events such as these, so I try to take them down a notch. By subconsciously doing this, I miss the breathtaking reality of all the God has done and can do.
   When I look at the Bible stories in this way it's easier to get blown away by God, but I still cannot comprehend the magnitude in these displays of power and love. I doubt that on this earth I will ever be fully able to, but, with God's help, I can try!
