I was heading to work the other day in the midst of praying and listening to scripture when I looked over to my left and saw these rays of sunshine.
God will absolutely show you signs even though we don't notice them until we're in his presence. This was such an amazing moment. Several months ago I told my wife, "I think God speaks to me when I'm in suspense". I proceeded to explain to her that I feel like God waits for moments where I am not distracted such as, when I'm waiting at the light, standing in the lounge waiting for my food in the microwave, or when I'm in the middle of prayer.
She then expressed to me that God is always speaking to me and is always moving towards a connection, those moments I described are when I'm not busy and I'm actually listening. I then realized that by creating more moments like this I can suppress the rush of life and focus purely on him and his glory. I am happy to say that this is very true. I find myself connecting more and experiencing the presence of God by simply creating the space for him.
With a burning desire to know and understand him more I often begin my prayer by removing all distractions and simply just welcoming him in the moment. This morning was no different. I was listening to my morning scripture when I noticed the rays to my left. What makes this moment significant is the fact that I was sitting at a red light which you can clearly see in the picture, and I was welcoming his presence.
It is such a blessing to experience moments like this with our father. He's such an awesome God.
