Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and all that night the Lord drove the sea back with a strong east wind and turned it into dry land. The waters were divided.
Exodus 14:21 (NIV)
Sometimes, Lord, I am so busy waiting for a parting of the Red Sea kind of miracle, I miss some of the marvels before me. Like the shining eyes of my child gazing up at me with delight. The ripened pears calling out to be plucked and enjoyed. The benevolence of a stranger. A lost soul coming home. The unexpected gift of a quilt handmade by my Gigi. The diamond shimmers of moonlit snow.
Life is full of all kinds of wonders. Let me see through Your eyes, Lord, that I may not miss any of them!
Questions for Pondering…
Do I experience more joy when I recognize and praise God for the wonders and miracles around me?
How can I keep the world’s clamor and busyness from keeping me from seeing God’s wonders?
