Fingerprints

Ok, I will admit it...I have never blogged before. As a matter of fact, I've never even had the slightest inclination to even think about blogging. But I have thought, "Dude, I'd really like to share with others what God is sharing with me, without coming across as an anoying Bible thumper that talks too much." So here we are. This way if you want to read it you can, and if you don't you don't...and either way you go on thinking I'm a Bible fanatic who talks to much, which I am. And I love it!

As Scott listens to his pod I do my Bible studies and try to fill the insatiable thirst for God's Word (and anything about it) that He has blessed me with. This thirst has become an incredible catalyst behind my realtionship with Jesus that made the relationship grow to levels that I never thought possible. I think it's incredible that He can give us a desire or a hunger for something that He knows will only bring us closer to Him. And He does all this on purpose. So cool.

So today I want to share what I thought was one (of many) highlight of this weeks Jesus the One and Only study by Beth Moore: Fingerprints. God sends signs to us, and He has done it all throughout history. The one our study focuses on is the sign given to the shepherds so that they would know Jesus was here. The Greek word for sign is semeion which means finger-marks of God.

A sign is a Fingerprint of God, given not so that we will be consumed by the sign itself but by the invisible hand that left the visible print.

That makes so many beautiful pictures in my mind, hope it will do the same for you.
