30 Little Things: The Book of Genesisعينة

So Obvious.

Wouldn't you want to be so obviously in God? Isaac must have done something right that when he came across Abimelech and his men, they said they could plainly see that the Lord was with Isaac. Wouldn't it be so awesome if we were to come interact with someone, like our friends maybe, and have them say: We can plainly see that God is with you. It is true that the impact of having God in our lives is a lot of times unable to be explained by logic. The logic of how miracles happen, of faith, these things just pass the boundaries of what humans understand. But, they do exist. And it is crazy that by actually keeping a close relationship with God, we are somehow transformed by the Spirit to become more and more like Jesus, and less and less like this world. If we stick around in God's process long enough, then this would definitely show. People will be able to see God's light through our actions.

It is so obvious that God was with Isaac. Is it that obvious to other people when they look at us? Or is it the opposite, we become a stumbling block for non-believers and even Christians themselves? Let us not be like the rest of the world, let us all be so obviously consumed in God's love and presence, just like Isaac.
