Google flash flood

I am trying to remember how they started. Google exploded out of nowhere it seems, even as the flood must have come as a great surprise to everyone but Noah in his day. And so it seems that the flood of God is like walking up a canyon when suddenly one hears the rushing wave of water unleashed from upstream with a most unnerving feeling that things are about to change fast. Get ready, your life and mine are about to change quickly friend!

And so to the selfish and unruly, judgment comes quickly on the wicked. Even when it is least expected, God will not be mocked. What a man sows, so shall he reap. Likewise, blessing comes suddenly to the righteous almost out of nowhere, but we know from whence it comes. The suddenly of God is a theme that Mark the evangelist wrote about often. Some use the word "straightway" for suddenly, but the meaning is the same as God invades the now with his power that makes man look small and feeble.

The flash flood of God comes to the righteous. It is nothing less than the flash flood of blessing. Suddenly some day we will wake up and be surrounded by the increase. Better than any Google tidal wave that carries us to cyberland, we will be carried into our dreams and destinies by the coming flood of God. It is a flood of his presence, his power, and his purity.

"Now unto Him who is able to exceedingly abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us.........." (Ephesians 4:20).

Mark
