Clay in the Hands

Sometimes it is hard to see God at work in our lives – not because he is not at work but because we are not paying attention.

I had breakfast with some men this morning and one of the questions that I was asked was, “how are things going at the church?”  I gave the normal – “Things are really good!” answer, and then conversation eventually moved on to some of the things coming up on our church calendar.

But as I drove away from the restaurant, I was still thinking about that question.  The question, better worded would be, “What is God doing in and through the church these days?”  I fully believe God is at work but I am not sure I do a good job of identifying God’s movement in such a way that I communicate well with others how I see God’s hand moving.

The same is true for each of us I think.  We trust God is at work in our lives, but unless we are very intentional in identifying his movement, we go through our days oblivious to his presence.

Today, look for him.

Pay attention to the rhythms of your day and the people God brings in and out of your life.

God is busy – don’t miss him.
