When my husband and I were looking to buy a new car, we went back and forth between two different car models.
As we researched, something funny started happening.
We began seeing those two models of cars everywhere!
At every stoplight, in every parking lot, and driving down every road, there they were.
I hadn’t realized how many people owned them.
Of course, the cars hadn’t suddenly appeared overnight.
They had always been there.
We were simply noticing them because they had become important to us.
I quickly learned that our brains are remarkably good at finding and drawing attention to whatever we seek.
The same principle applies spiritually!
When we are looking for God, we begin to find Him everywhere.
Looking for Jesus and His hand throughout what seems like an ordinary day helps me recognize that He has been there all along.
Looking for miracles means I start noticing the countless ways He already blesses, guides, comforts, and strengthens me.
King Uzziah learned this powerful truth: “As long as he sought the Lord, God made him to prosper.” (2 Chronicles 26:5)
What if we intentionally sought the Lord from the moment we woke up until we went to bed?
We might be surprised by how many blessings, tender mercies, and quiet miracles we discover.
Happy Studying!
