And He could do

no mighty work there,

except that He laid

His hands on a

few sick people

     and healed them.

And He marveled

because of

      their unbelief.

           Mark 6. 5-6

(What we miss

because we

do not seek Him,

nor believe

  God is God.

Our hearts are

   not open to what is

   before our very eyes.

How many miracles

   do we just explain away?

Or we don't even bother

   to pray about?

Are we missing

    the very hand of God?

In seeking God,

we see even more

     all around us.

It is not a matter of

thinking God can

   do something about this.

But believing in Him

  despite circumstances

and not just for an answer.

God is working

     and always works

in a bizillion different outcomes.

Am I seeking His glory

           even in this day?)

O LORD,

O what we miss

because we are

   not looking

or seeking You.

Soften our hearts

 to Your mighty work

 in our lives

and in the lives of those

all around us.

May we acknowledge You

  in all we do and say

  and pray.

And point others to You.

You are in this.

And we weren't looking.
