Learning How
to Process
By Pastor Asa Dockery
Romans 7 : 18 - 20, For
I know that in me (that is,
in my flesh) nothing good
dwells; for to will is pres
ent with me, but how to
perform what is good I do
not find. For the good that
I will to do, I do not do;
but the evil I will not to
do, that I practice. Now if
I do what I will not to do,
it is no longer I who do it,
but sin that dwells in me.
-NKJV
After we accept Jesus
as our Savior, there is a
process that we undergo
where the Lord begins a
work in our hearts. Our
Father wants us to grow
beyond “being saved”.
He wants us to become
Christ-like. In our natural
understanding and
strength this process will
seem impossible.
Nevertheless, God
knows what He’s doing
and how to get us to the
place in our life so that
He can perform His good
pleasure in our hearts.
Paul teaches in Philippi-
ans that God will see to
completion the work that
He has begun in us. He
also writes in the same
letter that it is God who
works in us both to will
and to do His good pleas
ure.
It is at this point in our

Coincidence?
“And we know that in all
things God works for the good
of those who love him, who
have been called according to
his purpose.”
Romans 8:28 NIV
W e’ve all had experiences that
seem amazing, even
providential, as if God
himself is sending us a message via
these experiences. It’s natural to
think of these as messages from a
benevolent God, and it’s just as easy
to turn them around and say that it
was just a coincidence. But
sometimes it strains our credulity to
think of these experiences as mere
coincidences. I had an experience
recently where I purchased a daily
devotional book at a used bookstore,
since I have for many years enjoyed
the habit of spending time with
spiritual readings in the morning and
this one looked interesting. It was
one of those books that has a nice
leather cover and a silk ribbon
affixed to the binding to mark the
page. When I got it home and opened
it, I was quite surprised to find that
the ribbon was placed on the page
corresponding to my Birthday! If that
wasn’t a sign that God wanted me to
have this book, I don’t know what
would have been. And as far as
coincidences, there was a 1 in 365
chance that it would be placed on my
exact birthday, so it really felt
meaningful to me. At the very least,
this book will have a special place in
my heart for that very reason. These
signs from God are important. They
make us feel like someone (Someone
indeed!) is thinking about us, and
looking out for us, and trying to let us
know that we are loved and cared for.
Look for God in the everyday details
of your life, because He is there.
