Imagination

Imagination:
I would have loved to listen in on the conversation when the search parties returned from looking for Enoch and came to the conclusion that "God must have taken him. You know how much he pleased God." Think Enoch had a testimony?
I would have loved to have seen the look on Darius' face when he called out to Daniel in the lion's den--and Daniel answered. And isn't it interesting that Daniel was the second most powerful man in the Persian Empire and they called him "the servant of the living God." Not a great advertisement for their dead gods.
I would have loved to have seen the look on Naman's face when the king said, "Great idea. Go and do all that for Mordecai!" "God resists the proud." You had best believe it.
I would have loved to have seen the look on the widow's face when Jesus walked up to the coffin and told her son to get up. And he did. And I wonder what the lad said when he sat up? Do you think he has any descendants still around today? We have no idea what God is up to, do we? Except that it's for good.
I would have loved to have talked to the Philippian jailer after his church read the letter Paul had sent them--from a prison in Rome. And wouldn't you have loved to have heard Paul and Silas singing that duet in their prison cell? In a "prison cell"? Try singing!
I wonder what Nero thought when he found out that some of his elite soldiers--the best of the best--were becoming Christians. Our God is a seeking God.

Sorry--sometimes I just wonder.
