2 Corinthians 6:16(b) ...As God said: "I will live in them and walk among them. I will be their God, and they will be my people...
God paints an amazing new sky at sunrise and every evening at sunset for all to see and if it's not cloudy they're breathtakingly beautiful. As I write this the sunrise is wonderful and they are there for anyone to enjoy and be blessed by, but often we miss them.
Every morning God also gives us new mercies, grace and favour, new opportunities to discover Him in the big affairs of life but also in the little things and sometimes we miss those too. This week my daughter sent me a photo of her hand holding a few raspberries which she had grown herself and just picked off her one and only raspberry cane for the first time, and she was so chuffed. Her comment was 'It's in the little things!' and she's right. She enjoyed the moment and shared it with me which was so lovely.
My question is, are we looking for God and recognising His hand in the everyday little things or are we so busy or worried that we're not taking the time to 'enjoy the raspberries', to recognise and enjoy each moment?
You see God wants to walk with us, and in us. He's not a distant God. He's up close and personal but so often we hold Him at arm's length just because we're "too busy" or because we want to watch this programme, or clean the house, or prepare for work, or sleep a bit longer - whatever it is for you.
It would be such a blessing to learn more and more to let God in and enjoy each moment. If you get the chance, spare a minute to watch the sun go down in the sky tonight and know God painted it just for you.😊
So can I encourage each one of us today and this coming week to truly allow God to live in us and walk among us and let Him show us the little things to be happy about and enjoy, especially when some of the big things are pressing on us, knowing He's involved in, and sorting those out too.
Have a blessed week and 'enjoy the raspberries'!
