A day-changer God’s taught me in recent years is to jot down the words often: PAY ATTENTION TODAY. Life’s happening right under our noses & we don’t even notice.We pout feeling overlooked by God & uninspired when it’s we who are overlooking what He’s putting right in front of us.
I’m no math wizard but I can count to three and, as best I can calculate, three steps forward and two steps back is still one step forward. Don’t get discouraged. And don’t quit. It’s all messier than we want it to be. Just showing up and giving it another shot is progress.
I wonder if God hears our tepid prayers, looks around & goes, “Oh, were you talking to Me? It sounds like you’re talking to somebody else. I’m the One who created out of nothing, who parts seas or walks on them, who gushed water from a rock & made a donkey talk. Wanna try again?”
Be faithful with what you've been entrusted. God will always give us something small at first to see how we tend to it! Take care of the "little" as much as you would the "great."
