Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord Almighty
The whole earth is FULL of His GLORY
Isaiah 6:3
The preacher on Sunday asked the question – What are you fixing your eyes on?
It was a good question. He showed us this youtube video of a Skoda ad. Check it out:
What we focus on (the blue car) becomes the object and any changes around it seem to not occur to our eye. Crazy isn’t it!
We noticed this when we were in the market for a bigger vehicle – a people mover to accommodate our growing sons. We started seeing people movers everywhere. Nothing had changed – there were still the same amount of people mover vehicles as before but the difference is now my eye and mind was focused on this subset of car.
Where you look is where you go
Where do I want to go in my life? I want to see God turn up in my messy real life. Every. Day.
I believe that He is always there. Showing Up. But sometimes we don’t tune in.
According to Isaiah 6:3 the whole earth is FULL with God’s Glory. I think that means that God is active on the earth.
He is always at work. Working in people. Working in situations.
So if the earth – where we live – is filled with His glory then shouldn’t we see it every day?
Shouldn’t I be able to see God’s fingerprints in the earth in my messy real day?
Maybe like this youtube skoda ad – I don’t see it because I am not focused or looking for it.
Father God, I thank you for loving me. Please show me today 2 things – your glory on this earth and what you are doing today.
Please open my eyes to see your glory and your work.
Please give me the courage to be part of your work today.
I want to have my eyes focused on your earth filling glory.
I don’t want to be blind anymore.
In Jesus Name I ask
Amen
I would love to hear how you discover God in your messy real everyday life too – please leave a comment
Amazing how relevant this is……
Awesome!
Thank you, Rachel for pointing out the small things which add up to God things! He is my Saviour and I have recently been drawn to be closer to Him! One a.m. I asked God how can I be in service with you, today. That afternoon I received a phone call from my church asking to assume duties as it concerns preparation of communion. I said ‘no’! But God wouldn’t let me go with that! He wanted me to say yes. And I did say yes to Him and to assuming my ‘duty’ in the church. I owe everything to Him! I praise His name every day! Amen.
Hi Bonnie that’s great that you are listening to the Spirit!
Sorry! You dont need my address!?I enjoyed this post. Focus is crucial. Hebrews 12:1-3 is one of my favorite passages because it reminds me to look to Him!
Hey Patricia – no worries, I deleted your address. Thanks for your comment. Yes, always needing to look to Him.
Quite a brilliant analogy. Yes, keeping our our eyes focused on God’s glory is the only way to get through Life one day at a time. I see it through a job well done, a smile that you give or receive, a kind word from someone or from us, a meditation walk, the study of the Word… It’s all around us but thank you for reminding us Rachel.
Hi There! – it’s the little things isn’t it? I have in the past focused on the big things thinking that is what God is interested in but I am realising – later in my life – that he is more interested in the little things. Thanks for your comment!
