Funny how we don't notice something until we get it or want it. My athletic son recently wanted a pick up truck, he located one and was able to purchase it. Now when I drive around I see lots of pick up trucks like his. Before I never really paid much attention to this particular pick up, but now I'm aware of them.
Our Sunday school lesson this week asked us a question, "What do you see when you look at a forest?" Most of the kids answered trees, which is what most of us would answer, right? That's usually the first thought that pops into our heads.
The next question though was, "What would a bird watcher see?" Yep, you guessed it "Birds!" A bird watcher is looking for something different when they look at a forest.
So how many of us look for God? He is omnipresent so He's everywhere, but do we really see him. The Israelites had it pretty easy for awhile when he was in a pillar of cloud guided them. Our job of finding Him can be a little more challenging or is it?
"Take a look, he's here in plain view," a line from a song. God is in the every day...the breeze we feel to cool us down, the rainbow after the storm, in a baby's smile, in a sunset.
God is here question is are you going to look for him? Chances are if you look for him, you will find him.
