A lot of times we go through something and don’t see God in it because our finite minds can’t comprehend how He could be working in that particular situation, we can’t comprehend His plan and way. (Isaiah 55:8-9). Other times we don’t see Him in it because we aren’t paying attention. How many times do we miss an opportunity to give God the glory and recognize Him in a situation and grow from it simply because we had our head in the sand or because we are focused on all the wrong things? (1 Kings 19:11-12) He is constantly working in our lives for our good and His glory. (Romans 8:28)
A friend of mine got laid off but will be able to collect unemployment. Their family will have enough for their bills to be paid and He gets to spend a great deal of time with his family over the next few months until he is called back or hired elsewhere. What a blessing! God provided time AND money, things we need more of all the time! How many people would graze past this or get mad at the situation and not see God in it? So glad they see Him!
I plan to look for and anticipate God more in this next year. I will be listening for Him and acting on what I hear Him tell me. I can’t wait to see how He chooses to work this year in my life!
