In the car, my boys and I play a game – “the yellow car”. The first person to see a yellow car and call it gets a point. It’s got to the stage that even if I’m in the car myself I’ve caught myself yelling “yellow car!” The thing is, now we’re so used to looking for yellow cars we see them everywhere!
It’s the same with seeing the presence of God in our day to days lives. When we intentionally look to find Him in our day, the more we will see Him at work. We will see Him weaving His way right through our day.
I love the Faith trigger cards by faith4families.org. Faith Talk triggers for families to use at home. At the bottom of each card is a section named “God Spotting” with questions like
- Where did you glimpse God today?
- Where were you led by God today?
- Has a friend been the presence of Christ to you this week?
Brother Lawrence wrote “The presence of God is the concentration of the soul’s attention on God, remembering that He is always present.”
In our every day God is very much present. Renee Swope wrote recently “Evidence of God’s presence surrounds me. But I have to decide if I will look for, listen to: and notice Him.”
When we look for God, we find Him.

It must be true what they say; what we see is usually what we were looking for. Thanks for this reminder. Blessings to you!
