Then Jacob awoke
from his sleep and said,
"Surely the LORD is
in this place,
and I did not know it."
Genesis 28. 16
(What happens when we
realize that we are
right where God intended
us to be?
Strategically placed,
divinely appointed,
sacredly purposed,
even in the most unlikely,
unusual and
strangest circumstances.
God knows what He is doing.
Imagine that.
A friend wrote: "I did not
know what I was training
for."
How differently would we walk,
approach, endure
and navigate this situation
if we knew God was in it?
God is
--in whatever we face today,
wherever we are,
among whomever,
no random encounters,
nothing He is not using.
It is not that we
bring Him into it,
but God brings us
into His purposes
and glory.
We can know
even what we cannot
yet see.)
O LORD,
Please help us
to trust You in this.
Align our hearts to see
and respond
with fresh hearts
to the big rocks,
the rough trails,
the unexpected potholes,
and even the victories
out of the blue.
You are in this place.
Help us to not just
look for Your hand,
but recognize
Your Presence.
What we see is very different
knowing that You are here.
