Learning to Look

God is so good!! And I am a work in progress. Following God's direction, I have been looking for at least one thing that is undoubtedly His work. Some days its just little things like avoiding a near accident or getting work done that seemed impossible to finish. Other days its bigger, like when He changed the time of a presentation I was scheduled to give to a more favorable time. But no matter what it is, I am learning to look for His hand at work which makes me more aware of His presence. The benefits of listening to God's direction are multifaceted. Not only am I more sensitive to the Spirit, I am more positive. This new awareness will change your entire outlook on life. Each morning brings a new excitement.It makes the proverbial "be joyous in times of trials" become more attainable. Once I realized God really does have my back and wants the best for me, nothing else seems to matter. Its all a matter of learning to trust. The times I slip back into worry and stress, God reminds me that I switched my focus. Like Peter when was walking on water and took his focus off of Jesus. I used to think that in order to walk with God you had to be some sort of super spiritual person and walk around saying things like 'praise the Lord", “bless God", etc all the time. Now I know I can just be me.
