He Is Risen — And He's Still Working Behind the Scenes

He Is Risen — And He's Still Working Behind the Scenes

Direct Answer: The same God who orchestrated the resurrection — working behind the scenes while the disciples grieved and hid — is working behind the scenes of your life right now in ways you can't yet see. You don't need a plan. He already has one. Your job is to stay close to the Shepherd and do the last thing He told you to do.

He is risen. He is risen indeed.

What Does the Resurrection Tell Us About How God Works?

Here's the thing about the resurrection — nobody saw it coming.

The disciples were confused, grieving, hiding. From where they sat, it looked like the plan had completely fallen apart. But behind the scenes? God was working something so magnificent, so perfectly orchestrated, that no human mind could have written it.

That's still who He is today.

What Does It Look Like When God Provides Before You Even Know You Need It?

When my wife and I moved into our house in 2013, I was honestly a little scared. The jump in the mortgage felt like a lot. I knew God was leading us there — but I remember walking through that house as it was being built thinking: Lord, how is this going to work?

I didn't have a plan. But He did.

Right around that time I stumbled across a course on Amazon private label. One thing led to another, and before long we had a mattress protector brand that paid our mortgage for years. I didn't engineer that. I couldn't have.

God had the provision ready before I even knew I needed it. That's resurrection power.

What Should You Do When You Can't Hear God or See the Path?

If you're in a season where you're asking God, what am I supposed to do next — take a breath. He's not lost. He's not scrambling. He's working.

And if you're not hearing anything right now, ask yourself one question: What's the last thing He told me to do?

Do that. Stay close to the Shepherd. That's the job.
