Our perspective in life changes when we choose to find God in the details of our lives.
Do you feel like you’re on a treadmill of life doing the same old stuff going nowhere? Perhaps you see your life as being mundane causing you to feel unproductive, unsatisfied, or discontent.
Finding God In The Details
Many of us desire to see God and want Him to do something big in our life. However, the truth is, God is in every detail of our lives.
It may not seem like God is your laundry. But have you ever thought, praise God, I have a family who is alive for me to do laundry for?
Do you dread going to the grocery store? But have you praised God for having the finances to go to the store for your family?
Bored sitting at home? But have you praised God for having a roof over your head?
How about frustrated with work? Your boss is driving you crazy, co-workers gossip, and you feel underpaid; but have you considered your purpose at your workplace?
Why has God placed you there at that job, at this time? What about being thankful that you have a job; when so many people are unemployed.
Yes, we get discouraged with all the have to’s of life, but when we purpose to see God in the details of our life by changing our perspective, it will open our eyes to see all of God’s favor, grace and provision in our everyday life.
Our Revelation Of Finding God In The Details
When the real estate market crashed in 2008, and we lost all that we had, we sought God and asked why we had to face such financial ruin. We remember so clearly when He told us to quit asking “why” and watch “how” He was going to get us through this.
From that moment on, we stopped focusing on how bad everything was, and we purposed to find God in every detail of our life.
As a result, we saw the favor we had with the private school our daughter was attending at the time. The school allowed her to finish the year with a special payment arrangement. The supernatural blessings that came in at the right time, so many times. We have a journal filled with those testimonies.
Not too mention, the times we spent at home because there was no money to go out, was purposeful to our family! We created family memories we still talk about today and it was during that time we created The Game Ledger.
When we shared some of these things with our Pastors, something they told us that we will never forget is that God was always there in the midst of our everyday life, we just didn’t acknowledge Him in the details. We were so caught up in our problems, we didn’t see Him.
Since then, we’ve made finding God in the details of our lives a priority. And we have come to a place of being grateful for the consciousness and awareness of God’s existence through His manifestation of things in our life.
In The End
You see; we have to decide to find God in the details. After all, Romans 8:28 tells us that God causes all things to work for our good.
“We are assured and know that [God being a partner in their labor] all things work together and are [fitting into a plan] for good to and for those who love God and are called according to [His] design and purpose.” ~ Romans 8:28 (AMPC)
Unfortunately, many people quote this scripture inappropriately by saying all things work for everyone’s good. However, the scripture says that God causes all things to work for the good to those who love God. This is a promise for God’s children.
Since we are children of God, He will cause everything in our life to work for our good.
So no matter what you’re facing in life, we encourage you to see God in your everyday living; knowing that everything you do, everywhere you work, everyone you come into contact with, even your financial situation is purposeful and works for your good.
