ENTHEOS: God is at Work!

God is at Work!

I was so encouraged by my Quiet Time this morning! Psalm 52:8-9 says, "But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God. I trust in the steadfast love of God forever and ever.I will thank you forever, because you have done it. I will wait for your name, for it is good, in the presence of the godly." What a testimony of TRUST in God's love and faithfulness!

Not long ago I read something interesting as I was preparing for my Biblical Counseling course. A.W. Tozer says, "Notice that when God did His most awful, majestic works, He always did them in the darkness." Isn't that an amazing thought? Just think about the creation, the Incarnation, Jesus' death or resurrection! Tozer concludes that every great thing that God has done, He has done in the silence and the darkness, because His wisdom is such that no man could understand it anyhow.

It is not easy to trust God when we don't see what He is doing. But we can know one thing for sure, He is at work! Just like David, I want to trust in His steadfast love and praise Him, even for His "hidden work"!

About the title

The Greek word entheos, means "having God within", formed from en, "in, within," and theos, "God". The Almighty God lives in us through His Holy Spirit (John 14:17). Entheos is the root of the English word "enthusiasm". I believe from my whole heart that God is boundlessly enthusiastic. My favourite author, A.W. Tozer says, that "God takes pleasure in Himself and rejoices in His own perfection”. He is also delighted with His whole creation, and yes, He is especially delighted with people made in His image.

I want God to be my Passion. I want to be a joyful Christian who finds her total satisfaction in Him alone. Nothing and no one else is necessary to my happiness. He is the One I live for. Getting to know Him day by day gives me thousands of reasons to be enthusiastic about. And my greatest desire is to please Him as I’m rejoicing in the One who lives in me. Do they see Jesus in me???

About the blog

This blog is an attempt to keep you informed about “my adventures” in the USA. The reason I’m going to America is the same as in the previous years - to bring glory to God! He is the One Who made all this possible and I want to bring Him to every person I’ll meet. I’ll consider this trip successful if they will all see Jesus in me! I know, you don’t need to go all the way to the other end of the world to be a witness for the Lord. :) My secondary reasons for this trip are to do a Biblical Counseling course at Faith Bible Seminary (Lafayette, IN) and to raise support for our ministry at Word of Life Hungary (www.eletszava.org). I can't wait to see how the Lord will bless me once again. You can join me in watching as God miraculously puts together all the details of this tour. May it all be done for His glory!
