For the last 6 months I have been using a new “wand” to curl my hair with and I have burnt myself about five times since I have started using it. Pretty ridiculous since I’ve been a hairstylist by trade for 23 years! So, being as handy as I am, I made myself a silicone neck cover using a pot holder I cut up and elastic bands to tie it around my neck. It’s funny looking but does the trick.
However, the first time I used my new neck cover I was so confident I wouldn’t get burned on that larger section I ended up burning a smaller section; my right cheek! I was so focused on one area, I forgot to be mindful of other areas.
Which made me think about God. Sometimes we are so busy looking for the big things that we miss all the little things. Has is been a while since you’ve seen a miracle in your life? Are you wondering where God is in your day to day?
Start looking around.
I’ve made it a point to find Him in the small things AND to acknowledge Him for those small things.
Did anything good happen for you today? Thank Him! Did you see a sunset that you appreciated? Thank Him! Did you hit all green lights on your way to work? Thank Him!
I promise if you start looking you will see His hand!
“The LORD said, ‘Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the LORD, for the LORD is about to pass by.’ Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the LORD, but the LORD was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake came a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper. When Elijah heard it, he pulled his cloak over his face and went out and stood at the mouth of the cave.” 1 Kings 19:11-13
It was in the gentle wind he finally heard God.
