I Saw God Today

"I've been to church,
I've read the book,
I know He's there,
But I don't look,
Near as often as I should.

His fingerprints are everywhere,
I just slow down to stop and stare,
Open my eyes and then I swear,
I saw God today..."

Yes, I'm sure you recognize these lyrics if you're a Country Music fan or a George Strait fan. It's one of my favorite songs.

I was riding in the car with my girls the other day, and I was really listening to these lyrics. They are so true you know. We know God is there, we see evidence of Him everywhere. In everything we do, in every place we go - God's fingerprints are there! He's the wind blowing through the trees, the butterfly that lands on the flower, the sun that warms our face; He's everywhere. But like the song says, we know He's there, but we just don't look. Why? Because we don't slow down and take time to notice. We're too busy hustling and bustling about to enjoy life.

I know, for me, I'm really bad about not taking enough time for the Lord and just sitting and talking to Him. But boy, let a problem come along, and He's the first one I talk to. I want Him to take care of everything, but you know that's really not fair. He tries to talk to us everyday. He sends the birds to sing to us, and the wind to whisper to us. Just try to slow down; look all around you. You might be surprised at what you'll see.

 Have you seen God today?

And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.
Jeremiah 29:13
