Every day, let me say that again, every day, God is at work doing something in our lives. Many times we’re so distracted with other thoughts and priorities, we can’t pinpoint where or when He showed up in those 24 hours. Sometimes God’s hand at work is clouded by our own ideas of what His provision, interception or disruption should look like.
The other morning I galloped up a flight of stairs, strolled down the hall, passing by several people already hard at work on their computers and opened my laptop for a day of web design and developing direct marketing campaigns. In that moment, the ‘scales’ fell from my eyes as I peered out these massive windows stretching along two walls that surrounded the corner I was working in. Overlooking a beautiful park and walking paths, I couldn’t help but praise God for the view and the space He gave me to work in.
You see, I don’t have a full time job. In fact, in my job search, what God has given me is an opportunity to work 15 hours a week consulting realtors on communications and marketing strategies. Wherever I set up my computer, is where this line of work is done. On this particular morning, I was in a beautiful library and God blessed me with the ‘corner office’ space.
I’m no prestigious corporate executive working long hours and climbing the ladder of success that many would attribute this kind of blessing with. I’m technically unemployed and certainly not even remotely deserving of what the mind conceives a ‘corner office’ job to look like. But all of that doesn’t matter when it comes to God’s overwhelming love and outpouring of blessings in my life. All I had to do was open my eyes to realize His blessing was there for the taking! Amen!
We all have silver linings… God’s blessings that we may be missing daily in our lives because human nature’s view of the situation blinds us to the greatness of God in that moment.
What silver linings can you attest to today? Just know, whether you can see them or not, God is there, that I promise you.
