Prepare my Eyes to see Your Hand

Day 21

There are so many situations in my life where I could trace back something that happened to God's intervention. I wonder if you have one of those situations in your life?

I do believe that He is at work every moment of every day even when we may not comprehend that it's His hand. Could this possibly be because we were not looking? Years ago the song, "Trust His heart" was very popular.

God is too good to be unkind. So when you don't understand. When don't see his plan. When you can't trace his hand. Trust His Heart He sees the master plan by Babbie Mason.

I think I might rewrite that song to say, "when you can't see his plan, trace the things that have happened back to him".

When we share prayer requests with each other we often track when they have been answered. It's such a glorious time of reflecting on God's goodness. We would miss so much of his provision if we didn't take time to look.

God's provision and protection are all around us.

He provided a friend at just the right moment to provide comfort in your life or encouragement
An unexpected snow day gave you the rest that you needed

You begin working with a group of people and realize that you all have different gifts that can be amazing together

That special song that lifts your spirit came on the radio just when you needed it most

You've been praying for confirmation and then your devotion that morning was exactly what you needed

You have no money and yet you give faithfully to God's work and every month your needs are met

Open our eyes to see God's hand at work!

One of my very favorite verses tells us to watch and see what God will do.

Look at the nations and watch-- and be utterly amazed. For I am going to do something in your days that you would not believe, even if you were told. Habakkuk 1:5

Come and see what God has done, his awesome deeds for mankind! Psalm 66:5

Prayer
Oh magnificent creator, author and perfector of our faith. You are the designer of the heavens and of our amazing bodies. We come to you today and ask that you would reveal yourself to us. Help us to see with eyes that are open to your glorious riches, to your gentle hand and to your plentiful providing.
We do not want to miss what you have for us. May we see clearly that it has been you and it has been your attention to our lives that have caused the many blessings that we have been given. We give you praise and thank you for your surprises of grace. May we never take you for granted.
