“God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;” – Acts 17:24
I heard God today. I heard Him in the early morning songs of the birds around my campsite. I heard Him again when the wind softly blew through the trees, rustling the leaves ever so gently.
I felt God today. I felt Him as the warm rays of the rising sun kissed my face. I felt Him as the breeze swirled around me as I watched the flickering flames of the campfire
I saw God today. I saw Him in the faces of my granddaughters as they sang songs of praise to him this morning around the campfire. I also saw Him in the lifted hands of a woman, who, as she passed by, began to sign the words to “The Old Rugged Cross,” the song we were singing!
I know I can find God everywhere when I earnestly look for Him. His Word tells me, “Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:” (Isaiah 55:6) Sometimes I don’t even need to actively seek Him; He’s right there. I just need to open my heart to His presence.
In the midst of His children the Lord said He would be.
It doesn’t take very many, it can be just two or three.
And I feel that same sweet spirit that I felt often times before.
Surely I can say I’ve been with the Lord.
Surely the presence of the Lord is in this place.
I can feel His mighty power and His grace.
I can hear the brush of angels wings.
I see glory on each face.
Surely the presence of the Lord is in this place.
(from “Surely the Presence of the Lord” by Lanny Wolfe)
“I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.” Proverbs 8:17
