God in the Present

My son, if you accept my words and store up my commands within you, turning your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding-- indeed, if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding, and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure, then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God

Proverbs 2:1-5

The wisdom and knowledge of God is not found in dwelling on the past or in worrying about the future, no, understanding and the very presence of God is found as we cry out to Him in the seemingly insignificant tasks that we do throughout the day. Paying attention to the world around you and being sensitive to what the Spirit of God is trying to teach you through the sights that you see and the people that you meet today is the start of understanding what it means to walk with God. God can be seen and heard and understood, not only through His word that we read each day, but also in the lives of other people that you meet, in the beauty of a sunset, in the words and rhythm of a song, in the miracle of a new born baby, in the beauty of spring or even in the quietness of your mind as you leave all the distractions of this world to hear from God. Search for Him today – cry out to Him – call out to the God of love that wants to walk with you and use your very life to make a difference and change the world.
