When did you last experience the presence of God?
Did you notice Him when you were watching TV last night?
Or how about when you were reading that new magazine?
Did you feel His presence at school or while you were crunching numbers for a new account?
Did you notice God when you were sitting in the pew yesterday morning?
Sometimes we can be so caught up in this world that we do not recognize God in our midst.
All too often we need to take a moment in the middle of the every day common activities of life and recognize God's presence in our lives. When Jesus returned to God the Father the Holy Spirit came to rest upon us, in us, through us and in the world.
The Holy Spirit is God's living, breathing presence in this world. He acts as a conduit of God's grace, truth, righteousness and love in this world. He is God with us.
God is constantly moving and acting on each of our behalves. But if we allow our lives to be consumed with the mundane and the everyday we can overlook God at work.
We are not the first people of God to overlook His work, the disciples even missed God at work and they walked with Jesus, but we should learn from those who have come before us.
We have the distinct and blessed opportunity to see God at work - active and alive - in every single moment of our lives. By recognizing God in small things of life we will know how to call upon Him in the giant things.
God is ALIVE. God is MOVING. God is WORKING.
Don't allow the world to turn your eyes from the glory God creates out of the mundane - you just might miss a miracle.
