"Where's God?"

My heart says of you, “Seek his face!” Your face, LORD, I will seek. – Psalm 27:8

When my children where younger we enjoyed looking at the “Where’s Waldo?” books.  If you are not familiar with “Where’s Waldo?”, they are picture books where each picture is filled with many people doing many different things.  The object is to find Waldo amongst all the people and details.  Waldo wears a red and white striped shirt, blue jeans, a red and white hat, and walks with a cane.  By himself Waldo is very easily noticeable, but when he is surrounded by all the other details in the picture he is difficult to find.

Sometimes life can get like a “Where’s Waldo?” picture.  The busyness and small details in life can be so overwhelming that it becomes difficult to find God in the details.  God is not difficult to find, in fact he is right by your side, but if we allow life to overwhelm us we sometimes lose sight of his face.  As the Psalmist says we need to seek God’s face each and every day.  Sometimes that can be a difficult thing to do with all that is going on, but we must continually strive to “Seek his face!”

Prayer:  Thank you Lord that you are always right there with me.  Forgive me when the details of life keep me from seeking your face.  Help me to find you in every day.  Amen.

Faith Tip:  Today look for God even in the small details of your life.
