How often do you sideline God and fly through one busy day after another without Him? Then a week or a month or more goes by, and you find yourself empty and aching for His touch on your life? If you are His child, you can be sure that He never leaves or forsakes you. He is very real in your world. All you need to do is train your eyes to “see Him who is invisible.” (Hebrews 11:27) You can begin today!
Here are 5 places where You’re sure to find God.
1. In something beautiful that catches your eye. How Communion Sunday looked in our church while it was decorated for a wedding.
2. In an answer to prayer that lifts your soul. As dementia steals my mom’s personality and clouds her past, I continually ask God to help her know me. Right now I’m thankful for one more day in which she was able to call me by name.
3. In the way He uses Scripture in your heart. My little niece at AWANA, studying the “big girl” Bible I gave her. What a blessing that she’s learning to love His Word!
4. In a passage from a book that especially touches you. A beautiful copy of Fanny Crosby’s hymns gifted by a friend.
5. In the ordinary treats God sprinkles throughout your day. Enjoying Chinese food with my students after seeing Les Mis.
I want to live with an eye out for the signs that point to God’s nearness. Will you join me?
I’ll be offering a link-up at the beginning of each week. Let’s promote what God has done for us! I’d love for you to share in the comments or in a blog post about how God has revealed His presence in your life. What sweet signs of His nearness has He given you? What hidden treasures has He revealed? What practices do you include in your day so that you don’t overlook Him? Here’s a linky in case you want to share this week. I may not get to visit your post right away, but I faithfully pray for each one who leaves a comment. Blessings, sweet bloggy friends!

Hubby and I did not want to travel a trip on which we were required to go. Yet, while there we were able to sit and watch a beautiful sunset from our balcony. Each evening God let us know he was there.
A lovely post. Thanks for making me be more conscious of where God is in my life each and every day. I see Him in my girls’ smiling eyes. They are made in His perfect image.
Blessings to you,
Keri
