Today is National Holy Experiment Day.....
There are a lot of things that can be viewed as religious or holy experiments. Some examples could be:
* Pray for someone to get better
* Pray for snow
* Pray for your team to win the Superbowl
* Pray someone will ask you on a date
* Try saying grace at dinner and see if others join you
* Try to get a person to attend religious services
* Plan to convert someone to your religion
In our examples above, God may grant all, some, or none of the desired results. He may be too busy with the problems of the world to make it snow. He definitely doesn't have a favorite sports team. The Lord truly works in mysterious ways. Sometimes, he has his own plans for an outcome that we may not understand.
We don't want to discourage holy experiments. Quite the opposite, we think they are good. We just believe you shouldn't judge the results. Your religious beliefs will be strengthen and you will be closer to God. So, participate in Holy Experiment Day to its fullest.
