If our eyes are open to it God is telling us all over the place that we are in His view. She wants us to know that even when it seems like God is nowhere to be found, it is not true. God help me to see this differently. God where are you, I can’t find you in this. Are the kinds of calls I make to God when I need assurance of God’s presence. When I pause I get a sense of something I didn’t have before. Maybe a car will drive in front of me with a bumper sticker that makes me smile, or I will see someone from one of the spiritual study groups I know. The way God shows up to assure me of His presence varies wildly. It sounds like a guessing game, but I prefer to think of it as the mysterious and playful nature of God. It reminds me not to take myself so seriously. The fact that I am breathing is a sign God is still present so at the very least, I can connect to my breath. If I focus on the miraculous nature of the function of my body that go on automatically.
My prayer for us is the willingness to see the assurance of God’s presence in our lives in ways perhaps we have overlooked before today.
