Yesterday I wrote to the Christians who may have placed Jesus in the back seat. Today I would like to speak on the contrary, to those Christians who have the Bible and Jesus firmly held in their hearts.
It sometimes can be difficult to see the work of God who is invisible, but that doesn’t mean He’s not working. Usually, His hand can be seen moving in the smallest of things during our day. Now I don’t know your circumstances, but in my own life, I have been amazed by God’s power and presence in numerous situations. Many of which have occurred very recently. I have such strong faith in the Lord and I know He will always come through for me, so I’m still not sure why I get so amazed and surprised when He does exactly what He promises. I know with all my heart that God never leaves me and that His Word stands forever, but when I see it come to pass there are times where I’m just shocked. Those are the moments for praise and worship. Can you relate? I hope you can, because it’s those times that are most special between my heavenly Father and myself.
When you can recognize a huge move on God’s part in your life, that is the time to either silently or loudly express your gratitude and worship to Him. You see, God loves it when we give Him praise and glory, not because He’s selfish or prideful, but because He’s the only one who truly deserves it. Look at all God has done in your life and the way situations have turned out. Do you see His hand? If you can’t, try to focus on the outcome of your specific situation and the moments leading up to that outcome. Once you can begin to see the mighty hand of God writing out your story, you will begin to cultivate gratitude within your heart. Gratitude produces praise and worship which causes God to rejoice. he loves our attention and He really loves when we credit Him for His involvement in our lives. Thank the Lord today for His watchful eye and steady hand in your life. He’s the only constant you’ll ever find while here on earth.

Reflect:
1. In what ways have you seen God work in your life?
2. Did you immediately recognize that it was Him at the time?
3. If so, did you thank Him for His involvement?
4. If you haven’t, take a few moments now and praise our Savior for His love and interaction with us.

Pray With Me:
Dear Loving Father,
Thank you for every interaction you have in my life. You’re daily with me and this is a great comfort to me. Thank you for dwelling in my heart. I’m thankful that your watchful eye keeps me constantly in your view and that your steady loving hands are always moving and working for me. I know Lord that you work in every situation even the ones that have different outcomes than I planned. Your plans are far greater than mine Lord and I ask that daily you’d remind me of this. Help me to be patient, thankful, and full of gratitude for all you do in my life. I pray I’d never take your love and relationship for granted.
Amen
