We see the enormity of all of creation, its awesomeness, order, and intricacy, and we wonder about God, as see His beauty, richness, and variety in nature and in each individual. We see the impact of even the smallest act of kindness and are amazed.
We see hints of God in people, in amazing acts of generosity, self-sacrifice, courage, and devotion.
As spectators, we can experience the joy of losing ourselves in all that God has set before us. This allows us to live in newness and awe daily as we press in to all that He is calling us to, even if only for a while. We get a sense of there being something bigger than ourselves and move forward knowing that God has everything in control and we need not worry or miss a beat.
We get a whiff of the infinite, but for a lot of us that's all we get.
How do we take the hint and accept the reality; and what would it even mean to say that we believe in God and walk it out daily by faith?
It feels like a risky thing to do and we are afraid of what we might lose.
But if God is real, there must be something wonderful to gain.
The amazing thing is that God accepts us right now, as we are and we only need to take the hint and acknowledge Him.
"Yes, God, I believe You are there. I want to know You more, even if it means I have to change some things. I'm willing to say yes to You, to say yes to goodness and all that You have for me daily. Thank you for Your acceptance and forgiveness of me."
And the journey is begun or maybe just refreshed.
God will lead the way as we start taking the hints that He gives. Just pay attention, and know that all we have to do is live in today—not in the past or in the future—but what He is blessing us with this very moment.
God has so much to offer us as we trust in Him… look for His hints today!
