How have you seen God today? On days like today when I know it's going to be chaotic, I have a lot to do, not enough time to get it done, and I'm already looking forward to sleeping in my bed tonight even though I just woke up, it can be really hard for me to see God. But over the years, I've found that there are three places where I can look for God every day and still find him in the chaos. The first one that comes to all of our minds is looking for God in our own life, which can be easy to see when God answers one of your prayers, like maybe not having enough money, but then getting an unexpected check in the mail. It's easy to say, "Oh, that was God." But what if today you don't have one of those in your face miracles? Well, for me, I try to face a miracle. I got this one from Jesus. He said, "Look at the birds of the air. They do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?" Jesus here is teaching his disciples to face the miracle they're missing, where God has already provided. Facing a miracle of a fireplace, where God's providing heat, a home to keep our family safe, or a flashlight to read my Bible when it's dark. Can we shine a light on the miracle that God has already given us? The second place we can look for God today is in other people's lives. Now, this one requires a little self-discipline because if we see somebody else get a surprise check in the mail and we are one day away from going broke, it's going to be really hard to see it as God moving in their life because we may perceive it as God missing in our life. But that's not the case. It's a chance to see it as hope, that if God can move in their life like that, he can move in ours, too. But that's not the only perspective we can take on here. If we see God moving in somebody else's life, the goal isn't to hope that one day that'll happen to us. The goal is to praise God right now because he did it in that person's life. That is God's child, too, and maturity is praising God for that today because even if that doesn't affect us, we can still praise God as provider. And the next level is offering that perspective to that person because maybe they're missing the miracle, and we're the ones that perceive it because we're the ones that feel like we need it, and God has given us that perspective to offer to them how much of a blessing it really is to have that spouse. It really is to have that provision. It really is to be healed. God wants to use you today to bless someone else. And the last place that we can look for God to ensure we see him every day despite the chaos is in here, the word of God. This isn't just a book, for the word of God is alive and active. This book is alive and active. The written account of how God moved in other people's lives throughout history, but also telling the story of how God wants to move in our life today. So, on days like today, where it might just feel overwhelming and we barely have time to watch a video like this, I want to ask you one important question. How have you seen God today? Let's keep encouraging each other, friends. God bless.
