"You show me the path of life. In your presence there is fullness of joy; in your right hand are pleasures forevermore. " Psalm 16:11It's so easy to get caught up in what still needs to be done, what isn't happening, the places where there is need upon need. Like Job (One Year Bible anyone??) it's so easy to start asking God, "Why?" "How could you let this be?" "Do you not see what is happening here?"
It's always amazed me, though, how God finally chooses to answer Job. Rather than focusing on wealth or poverty, He stays with Job and explains to Him the wonder of His creation.
This is the God who paints the sky such a bright blue that you want to jump in it, who blows and sends clouds of dust billowing across the desert. This is the God who smudges His finger across the horizon to blend a sunset that dances and changes every minute and who sprinkles rain until grass and trees glow green.
Look around you.
Do you see God?
(Challenge: Write a list of ten ways that you saw God today. Do it for a week. See how your perspective changes.)
