Life has its ways of keeping me humble and seeking God. Yes, there are times where I think I have it together and then God shows me how desperately I need Him. Here is a small exerpt from Oswald Chambers that speaks of God and how he shows up in our lives...
Oswald Chamber says:
“The great need of every Christian worker is to be ready to face Jesus Christ at any and every turn. This is not easy, no matter what our experience is. The battle is not against sin or difficulties or circumstances, but against being absorbed in work that we are not ready to face Jesus Christ at every turn. Jesus rarely comes where we expect Him; He appears where we least expect Him, and always in the most illogical connections. The only way a worker can keep true to God is by being ready for the Lord’s surprise visits. It is not service that matters, but intense spiritual reality, expecting Jesus Christ at every turn. This will give our life the attitude of child-wonder which He wants it to have. If we are going to be ready for Jesus Christ, we have to stop being religious (that is, using religion as a higher kind of culture) and be spiritually real. If you are ‘fixing your eyes on Jesus,’ avoiding the call of the religious age you live in, and setting your heart on what He wants, on thinking on His line – you will be called unpractical and dreamy; but when He appears in the burden and the heat of the day, you will be the one who is ready.”
It is easy to find ourselves doing so much that we miss the small happenings of God in our lives. Daily, I miss the doors that God has put before me with the people and circumstances that I encounter. I, in reality, miss God. However, I want to be ready. I want so badly to see God, hear God, and encounter God every day. We must be ready for God in our lives; He deeply desires to be apart of each of our lives daily.
