How do we find God in our busy daily lives? If we encounter God on Sunday’s alone we will be seriously lacking and incomplete. But sometimes  in the grind of life, God seems far away. We are so easily distracted by the report that must be in at a certain time, meetings here and there,  running errands, getting the kids to soccer, fixing the car and the list goes on. Then how can we discover God in the busyness of life?

 

Maybe we fail to really look for God. For God is in expected and unexpected places: the sunrise, the changing leaves, a baby’s laughter, the eyes of a stranger, the wisdom of our elders, the smile of a child— just to name a few. Today let’s be alert to God around us—let us look beyond the ordinary happenings and press on to know him more intimately!

 

"Oh, that we might know the LORD! Let us press on to know him! Then he will respond to us as surely as the arrival of dawn or the coming of rains in early spring." (Hosea 6:3)
