Forgotten

There are those times when we as believers long for God to come and show His power for all to see. We want the equivalent of a high noon, center of town, in the middle of the street showdown. There are moments when we want the great God of heaven to enter the scene of our world, and like a flash stretch forth His mighty power to put to naught the evil that threatens us. And all this right in front of the eyes of a gawking world. Moments like the account from the life of Chinese Evangelist Watchman Nee in the early 1920’s. Where God worked in such a mighty fashion that an entire pagan society was shaken to its core.

An event took at this log cabin out in the middle of nowhere, on the far edge of fledgling nation, in a region of the country filled with criminals and fugitives that defies the imagination. An event that not only had a profound effect on the local area of Logan County Kentucky, or the frontier state as a whole, but left its mark on succeeding generations in the states of Tennessee, Georgia, Ohio, Virginia, and the Carolina’s. And to some extent altered the heart and conscience of America while it was still in the cradle of its infancy.

There is Someone behind the scenes working circumstance to His infinite wisdom. God is doing this in your life, right now. Every detail, every instance, every crossed path, and every dead end. But that is not so easy to see. One must look from the distance of history in order to see the finger-print of divine design. Here are just two. Two that shine brightly and vividly reveal a God who works in us to reveal his good pleasure.

When the curtain of time lifted on young 19 year old William Hunter’s path in the spring of 1555, his parents were watching as their son was walked to the center of Brentwood England, they were watching as he was chained to a wooden post, and they were watching as he was set ablaze. They watched helplessly as their teen age burned at the stake for the Word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ.

Some times we don’t attempt things for God, we don’t boldly stand for God because we are just not sure that His hand will be there to protect us. Sure, God did that in the Bible, but would he protect me? Would he protect me in a car driving down the high way. Would he protect me on the streets of a foreign land. Or would he protect me, as in the case of Gladys Aylward, hiking through the jungles of China with nearly 100 orphan children, surrounded by Japanese soldiers with orders to shoot on sight. I’m glad to say, “Yes! He can.”
