Cause & Effect, Interrupted

In every part of life, we get what is possible, what’s expected, what’s deserved.

We live by cause and effect.

We get what we paid for.

We make our bed, and now we have to lie in it.

And then comes the divine interruption…

Because of Him, because of the cross, because of His death, because of His resurrection, because of His victory—anything’s possible!

My friend Shawn Seeley was blown up in Iraq.

His Humvee landed on him.

His heart stopped en route to Germany.

He died.

That’s what is supposed to happen.

When a bomb blows up under you—you’re supposed to be dead.

When an Army Hummer lands on you—you die…

But with Jesus, anything’s possible.

“God can do anything, you know—far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams!” (Ephesians 3.20 MSG)

God can do anything.

Cause and effect, interrupted.

PS – Shawn is alive. He didn’t stay dead. He made it home. He healed. And today he’s a new man. He has a new life, a new career (he’s a pastor on staff at Fairwood Church with me). Anything’s possible.
