Seeing God in All Things

How often do you see God at work in your life? How often do you see God at work at your work? School? Free time? Family time? Ministry?

I fear that many of us see God all too seldom in our day-to-day comings and goings. Personally, I know that it is a temptation to go about living my life without really acknowledging God's involvment in hte many things that God is probably involved in throughout each day.

Yesterday, during Sunday School, I talked with the youth about what we believe that God can do in our lives. We often only seek after God when things get really bad or as a last resort once we have exhausted all of our other options. Seems interesting that we would go to the internet for answers when we have the Creator of the Universe on speed dial through prayer.

Let me ask you the same question I asked the youth: What do you really believe about God?What do you believe that God can do?

The answers to these questions will mold and shape our viewpoint of how we see God work in our lives. If we don't view God as personal and someone who cares about our lives, then we won't see God in the everyday parts of our lives. On the flip side, if we realize that God is with us always, then we will begin to see the many ways that God is at work in our lives each and every day.

Jesus tells us in Matthew 28:20, "For I am with you, even to the end of the age."

Don't forget those words as the work week begins again. God is with us all in our comings and our goings. Look for him, and you will find all the ways he is at work each and every day.
