God's Presence in Our Midst





 

Yesterday we talked about finding God in  the midst of our busy lives.  I vowed to turn off the news  and social media for the next few days and  try to be more focused on God’s presence in my midst. When we look, it is amazing what we find. I found God in the ladies at our church diligently packing boxes filled with warm food. I observed God in a homeless man who came to the kitchen door looking for something to eat.  When I delivered meals to a man who recently lost his sight, I saw God in his smile. Last  night I noticed God in the children as they silently sat as the Word of God was read. And when I  was putting gas in my car, I looked up and there it was an unexpected rainbow in the sky—a reminder of God’s covenant to never flood the earth again:

 

And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant that I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all future generations: I have set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth. (Genesis 9: 12-13)

 

For God truly is in expected and unexpected places. Today let’s be alert to God’s presence and  continue to see Him in our daily walk.
