Seeing God in Your Everyday Life

Seeing God in Your Everyday Life

"When...he turned aside...God called to him." Exodus 3:4 NKJV

It was business-as-usual for Moses the day he noticed the burning bush, an event that wasn't uncommon in the hot desert. Except this time the bush kept burning. And "when...he turned aside to look, God called to him." You'll have some of your greatest spiritual experiences in the midst of your everyday life - if you're open to a divine interruption.

In Luke, Chapter 10, Mary ministered to Jesus' divine nature while Martha ministered to His human needs. But Martha's 'kitchen agenda' made it almost impossible to interrupt her, while Mary was so heavenly minded she'd probably have forgotten to turn the stove on! Now it takes both to achieve a balance. But if Jesus has to choose, He'll take foot-washers over master-chefs every time. That's because one of our primary focuses should always be praise and worship, (expressed appreciation) resulting in greater intimacy with God.

Are you so busy working on your 'to-do list' that it would take fire from heaven to get your attention? A well-known pastor writes: "You can be in the midst of a common moment, only this time the activity is filled with the presence of God. When in the middle of your harried day you notice something unusual...your first reaction might be, 'I'm too tired to investigate...I'm not going to disrupt my life.' Yet in that moment you may have the opportunity for a unique encounter with God. When you see the unusual in the midst of the mundane, don't continue business-as-usual. God may have ordained that moment to be life-changing for you and those around you."
