Nov 14

"...  Sanctify yourselves: for to morrow the LORD will do wonders among you." Joshua 3:5

It is the desire of every genuine believer of God, to see the hand of the Almighty at work both in personal matters and in the lives of others. The desire is not misplaced, for God is very willing to provide manifold evidences of His love and continued care for every aspect of life, even when the miraculous is necessary. Indeed to God there is no difference in 'difficulty' in providing by natural or miraculous means. The scriptures indicate however, that all too often it is our lack of personal preparation and sanctification, which along with little faith, impede and obstruct the workings of God. It is not that God is rendered 'powerless' by our lack, but rather that He chooses to work in response to faith and sanctification. He has made it clear to us that our sanctification is His will. Sanctification (purity of heart, holiness) nears us to God and positions us in the best possible place to view, and by faith be recipients of, the blessings and wonders which the Lord wants to bestow in and around us!
