Hiking, biking, painting, swimming, rock-climbing, savoring, reading, surfing, jump roping, hot air ballooning, Pinteresting, driving, cooking, visiting, kayaking.
The verbs that fill our daily lives are endless-especially here in beautiful Colorado or in chilly Alaska (where The Organic God DVD series was filmed). You’ll often find me hiking or woggling* along the trails near my house reveling in God’s beautiful creation.
But have you ever stopped to think about the verbs that describe God?
When I see God’s name mentioned in Scripture, I often find a verb somewhere nearby. God is constantly on the move. Though we may not always see him or sense him, he is actively engaged.
He is creating, making, guiding, watching, giving, listening, protecting, destroying, forgiving, saving, teaching, leading, helping, showing, and so much more.
Read passages like Genesis 1-2, Psalm 18, and Psalm 78, and you’ll be reminded that God is not stagnant.
God is fully alive. He is ever-present. He is ever-active.
No matter what my circumstances may try to tell me, the truth is that God is not only present, he has movement. God is not a spectator; he is actively engaged.
May you be reminded of God’s active engagement in your life this coming week.
What is one verb that describes what God is doing in your life right now?
A group of us around the country spent the last few weeks exploring facets of the character of God through The Organic God book and Bible study.
Take a group through The Organic God 6-Week DVD Bible Study this fall.
Because you can fall in love with God all over again.

*Woggling is a term I coined. It’s a half-jog, half-walk. As long as both feet aren’t touching the ground at the same time, I’m still exercising.
