Big blessings can come in very simple packages. Yesterday I had lunch with some amazing people. One of my friends spoke about his introduction to ministry. He mentioned a game he would play where you are asked to identify God's presence in seemingly meaningless stituations or objects. The game is simple:
Rule #1 Ask yourself where do I see God in this?
Many times as a young follower of Christ I find it difficult to judge whether my behavior aligns with God's Word. My friend today reminded me that our God is omnipresent. In order to get the right answers you have to ask the right question. The right questions are not who, what, when, where, how, why. The one and only question that need to be asked for clarification is where do I see God in this?
I was used as an example how to play the game. He pointed to a cup in front of me, but continued explain the situation at hand. At that time I thought to myself that this silly game. But as I continued to contemplate his speech with my other friends. I realized that I see God in a cup on my table at a Habachi restaurant because God is forgiving. He is always on time. He is faithful, so instead of seeing my cup as half empty God gives us grace and allows us the favor of the Holy Spirit so that we too can leave righteously, and can see the cup as half full.
The Word says : lean not on your own understanding but trust in the Lord and He will make your paths straight. Faith without work is dead. I have to trust God and know that he will see me through any situation no matter how bleak it may seem. Thank you so much Dr. DL White- pseudo name of course. #7
