God Moments

Let’s take a look at those moments that come from God – some of those moments bypass us before we realise and say to ourselves ‘God it was you.’

I read recently this from ‘word for today’

At the end of a hard day it feels good to come home to a place you know – a place where you can kick off your shoes, run around in your bathrobe and not worry about what anybody thinks. And reverently speaking God’s presence can become equally comfortable with you too. With time, you can learn to go there for strength, for protection, and for guidance.

God wants you to be at home in His presence and aware of His nearness at all times. We think of God as a deity to discuss instead of a place to dwell, but God wants us to see Him as the One in whom ‘…we love and moves and have our being…’ Acts 17:28. When God led the children of Israel through the wilderness, He didn’t just show up once a day and then disappear. No, the pillar of fire was present with them all night and the cloud of smoke was present with them all day. God never leaves us. Jesus promised, ‘...I am with you always…’ Matt 28:20. The Psalmist said, ‘the one thing I ask of the Lord – the thing I seek most – is to live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life….’ Ps 27:4. ‘That’s nice’, you say. I’d love to live in God’s house too, but I’m stuck in the real world. ‘No, just the opposite; you are just one decision away from your Father’s presence. You don’t need to change your address – just your perception. Wherever you go today, whatever your face today, remind yourself, “He is with me!’

What joy when I had this for my devotion, it reminded me that the ‘pillar of fire or cloud of smoke’ is always there God is guiding us through each and every day and we can experience His moments with what seems insignificant times as each day unfolds. Sometimes God speaks with us in a storm so that we stop and listen, other times it's a gentle breeze that washes over us so that we sense His love and care - and then there is stillness, the most quiet restful intimate time. How did God share Himself with you today?
