God Doesn't "Intervene"

Brett Davison
God does not "intervene"
God does not "step in"
God does not watch the world like the patron of a play
And then climb on-stage when our need is dire

God isn't separate
God isn't sitting on the sidelines
God is not a referee!

God is involved
God is in our lives
God is everywhere

He is with those who have chosen Him
He is surrounding those who have not

His work is balanced
Between free will and divine action

He rejoices at our love
For each other and Him
He is saddened by our denial of Him
And our hatred for each other

He cares
He labors
He respects boundaries
He establishes those boundaries

God does not intervene
God simply acts

    I like this one alot, dude. It helps clear the air on just what we're supposed to be asking God for in the first place!
