You want to do something that counts in this life? Let Jesus remind all of us that this very second God is up to something in the lives of those around you. Events are unfolding, things are in place, decisions are being made – because God WILLS them to happen. God is up to something and is intensely interested in every person around us.

In John 5:17 Jesus says that God is “always at his work to this very day, and I, too, am working”.

I’ve got all sorts of things that are trying to keep me from doing something that counts.  I got alarms, calendars, internet, cell phones, professors, emails, people, and a misinformed brain full of could/should/would/if/when/maybe’s clouding out the fact that God is always at his work.
