The marvels of God go beyond our understanding.  When I stop for a minute and focus on all that is living and breathing just within my own body I am completely amazed.  What is it that structured my bones together so that my fingers can bend and grasp at things?  How is it that I am able to walk from one point to another and keep my balance?  At what point did my brain learn to make the connection of letters into words and into sentences so that I can share my thoughts with you right now?  Then I look outside of me.  How is that the tree knows to sway in the wind and not get knocked over?  What tells that flower that it is safe to expose its beauty to the world?  There is an intelligence guiding and flowing through the whole universe in an intricate and gentle manner.  This gentleness does not require its power to be shouted from the rooftops. It only asked that it be noticed and appreciated.

My prayer for us is the courage to appreciate the simple gentle intelligence that lives and breathes through us and around us reminding us that we are taken care of.

What one small gentle element of infinite intelligence working in your life today can you appreciate as a sign that you are loved and taken care of today by God?  Share in the comments.
