The other day I experienced a very random, yet somewhat insignificant, event in a parking lot. I was walking from my car to work, simply minding my own business, when out of nowhere….WHACK! Something hit me square in the nose. I quickly turned and noticed a freakishly large bumble bee was regaining his composure mid-flight. I think we were both caught off guard.
This oddity in my day got me to thinking about my relationship with God. If I’m regularly communing with Him in prayer and spending time in the Word, I shouldn’t be ‘stunned’ when God clearly shows up throughout my day. When I witness the evidence of His presence and involvement around me, it shouldn’t surprise me like a bumble bee flying into my face. It should be expected.
Psalm 139: 7-12 tells us that we cannot hide or escape His spirit. He fills the heavens and the earth (Jer. 23:23-24). What I was reminded of that day is that Jesus is always with me (Matt. 28:18-20). Whether I notice Him or not…..He’s right there in front of my face!
How will you notice God in the busy activities of your day? May you recognize Him in all that surrounds you…..even if He uses a bumble bee.
