We don’t need a building to see God move. God does not need a building to reveal his character and nature. But when God asks us to do something, it is the greatest privilege of our lives to do it.

When God is working and moving, we try to impose our systems of measurement onto God. We tend to measure ourselves out of miracles. We tend to measure ourselves out of blessings. We tend to measure ourselves out of God’s purpose. We tend to measure ourselves out of God’s plan.

When Jesus describes the Kingdom of heaven to his disciples, he is explaining what it means to be a part of God’s family, to live in God’s house. Jesus is telling Peter that, at our house, we forgive. At our house, we do not hold grudges. We let things go. 

n this story in Mark, a father has a son who is tormented by an evil spirit. Jesus is trying to move this father from a place of unbelief to belief, and this son from oppression to freedom. Where is God trying to move you in your life? Often God moves us; other times we just need to make the first move.
