"For thus saith the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not."
Isaiah 30:15
I think sometimes we miss the hand of God in our lives because we are expecting some earth-shattering, ground-breaking event, and we fail to notice the calm, quiet miracles that happen around us. We chalk up so much to coincidence that we make no room for God, and yet God *is* every coincidence, and actually is *all* things working together for our good (Romans 8:28).
Instead of waiting for a lightning strike or some other dramatic singular event, today let's take a step back and see the whole tapestry of our lives, woven together by God to lift us and help us, and put us in each other's lives. God's work is bigger than we can see, and also the smallest things that we don't see are included in it.
Let's return to and rest in God, and take strength from our quiet confidence and faithfulness to him. The steady light of faith and patience will reveal God's plan to us much more clearly than any lightning bolt, no matter how bright. :)
