Miracles and Blessings all around us.

There are miracles and blessings all around us in our lives every day. God has done what He promised He would always do and takes care of all His children keeping them safe in His loving arms. He protects us and loves us unconditionally just like our parents do. 

I suppose that we see blessings and miracles every day as long as we take the time to stop and see them. If we don't get so busy with life that we overlook the blessing or miracle in front of us. If we don't ignore it because it might not be the way we wanted things to go.

I believe in the power of prayer, I know that when we come to God we are never ignored. It may not be in the time frame that we think it should be but there is no doubt God is listening to us. He is waiting for us to be patient with Him while He works in us. He is waiting for us to be quiet and still to hear the direction we need to go.

God is there in it all nothing is a surprise to God and everything you see is a creation of God. The sunlight, the moon, the bright blue sky, the green grass, the people and creatures around us are all things that God made for us to enjoy in this world.

Still though, even with the knowledge that He is there we escape His sight. We look to things, we look to people, we look to the community around us, we look to friends, we look to family, we look everywhere around us to fulfill the need we have in our lives that we don't see God in it. We miss that God is the one who put the right people in our paths, the right situations, the right tools to handle what is in front of us. 

I read a passage in my devotion that really caught my attention. "We wonder with so many miraculous testimonies around us, how we could escape God. But somehow we do. We live in an art gallery of divine creativity and yet are content to gaze only at the carpet." The next time you hear a baby laugh or see an ocean wave pay attention. Pause and listen as God whispers ever so gently, I'm here. He is there with you. He is for you.
