They Walk Among Us

Alison Krauss - who knew she sang gospel? Apparently everyone but me. Royce & I enjoy her country songs but one day on Pandora radio we heard her singing gospel and now we love her even more! I just recently discovered her song: In the Palm of His Hand. (You will the link at the end of this post.)

Now, I realize that not everyone who sings a gospel song is a child of God. I get that. However, I also understand that God's children are everywhere, often incognito. Their lives are hidden in Him and they go about their daily routine like normal people doing normal things. But, beware, inside these seemingly normal people lies the power of the universe.

WOW --- that's better than any Hollywood movie - better than the best novel. Think about it: within these average people resides an extraordinary God who listens to and answers their prayers, covers their lives and heals their hearts. Who knew? Who can tell? They dress each in their own way, talk of their individual lives shared with family and friends. They come in all shapes, colors, and sizes. These strange folks are as different as the aliens in Men In Black, yet they walk as an army on this earth and gravitate towards one another with built in radar.

So, how can you tell when they are present? How can you know when they are close?  By breathing the atmosphere. Relax in the peace - look closely at the way one responds when hard times hit; look deep in their eye when a friend comes upon troubles; listen closely when they describe their day; come near when they reach to hug; all of these things will give them away. Usually, it isn't what they say as much as how you feel in their presence. It's the quiet ones you have to watch out for.

They walk among us with average lives but beware - -  God is listening to them.
