| “And so I will show my greatness and my holiness …” |
| —Ezekiel 38:23a |
God has a way of making Himself known at the most appropriate times. In fact, it’s a really good idea for those of us who follow His Son, Jesus, to keep our eyes peeled for those times when God reveals Himself in our daily lives. Jeremiah 29:13 declares:
You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.
I’ve written many times before about a little exercise first brought to my attention by my long-time spiritual mentor, Rev. Dr. David R. Mains, more than 47 years ago. That exercise is called the “God Hunt.” In fact, David and his wife, Karen, have written at least two books on this subject—one for adults and one for children. The key elements of this daily conscious-awareness of God at work in our lives includes looking for and taking note of the following:
- Any obvious answer to prayer, or …
- Any special evidence of God’s care, or …
- Any help to do God’s work in the world, or …
- Any unusual linkage or timing.
If we keep our eyes, ears, minds, and hearts on alert, we will see God’s hand at work in our lives every day. After all, God has promised He will make Himself known. Notice what God said through the Prophet Ezekiel, as recorded in Ezekiel 38:23:
“And so I will show my greatness and my holiness, and I will make myself known in the sight of many nations. Then they will know that I am the Lord.”
As we start another new day, let’s be aware that God is always at work in our lives. It’s high time we acknowledged His presence by keeping ourselves looking for the way He interacts to bless us all through each day.
