It is so easy to be so wrapped up in life that we miss or even take for granted the Creator of the Universe. Look at how Psalm 65 describes Him.
65:5 “By awesome deeds you answer us with righteousness,
O God of our salvation,
the hope of all the ends of the earth
and of the farthest seas;
6 the one who by his strength established the mountains,
being girded with might;
7 who stills the roaring of the seas,
the roaring of their waves,
the tumult of the peoples,
8 so that those who dwell at the ends of the earth are in awe at your signs.
You make the going out of the morning and the evening to shout for joy.”
The One who painted the morning sky with brilliant light and kiss the evening with the glows of sunset longs to have a relationship with you and me. The One who carved the mountains and stills the raging sea is allowing you and me an all day audience with Him. He is listening even now for us to speak to Him.
Yet between Wal-mart runs, answering phones and yes even scrolling through Facebook we miss the invitation. Creator God, please forgive us for keeping you waiting. Please hear our prayer today for strength, guidance, wisdom, security, hope and joy. Please show us Your paths for our lives. Most of all, help us to see the people around us who are in desperate need for You and give us the words of life. Help us not to miss You today as we do “life”. Help us see You in the laughter of the aged and children. Help us see You in the blowing wind and the warming sunshine. Help us lean in and embrace each moment You give us because they truly are gifts from You.
