The other day, as I was driving to work, my daughter kept pointing at the window while saying repeatedly: “Mommy, LOOK!”. The excitement in her voice brought along with it an urgency to find the “Thing” she was pointing out before the light turned green. Her smiling face and the way her legs kicked excitedly made me really wonder what was bringing such joy to her heart. I longed to be able to smile at the discovery of such a wonder, but no matter how hard I looked I could not seem to find the WHAT of her amazement.
Right when the light turned green she leaned closer to the window, and with her little finger she pointed at a droplet of water that was leaving its trace as it strolled down the glass. I immediately smiled and asked her if she was trying to point out the drop of water – to what she nodded yes.
All along I had tried to find the source of her excitement OUTSIDE – not realizing that the very thing that she wanted me to focus on was ON the glass…
The same thing happens to you an me daily. God is continually showing His fingerprints and we choose to look at that which lies behind them.
I almost missed out on seeing the beauty my daughter was trying to point out because I kept insisting in looking at what I wanted to see.
What is God showing you?
Are you feeling a little bit lost?
Maybe all you need to do is refocus your attention to what God shares in His Word… You will be surprised at the beauty He intends for you to see…
I want to invite you to join me and a group of some pretty amazing women as we share the talents the Lord has blessed us with and discover Psalms 45:11 through a blog hop.
I will be choosing a participant of the hop to enjoy a FREE spot on the Ashes to Beauty Program , so make sure to stop by on Friday and Saturday to leave a comment.
Hope to see hear from you soon!
Love in Christ,
Nana

Thankyou for this post, it’s been a rough week!!! I have been neglecting my need to feed my soul with the Word, there you will always find what you need!
I am intrigued by the blog hop. I’ll do my best to check it out!
Again Thankyou and I thank God for his patience and Love 🙂
Donna, you hit the nail right on the head!! :). We neglect our soul by our lack of devotion to His Word. We see it as a chore instead of a life life. Will be praying that the Lord satisfies your soul and renews your love for His Word!! ;).
Thanks for your comment… It adds such joy to my life! 😉
Hugs!
Nana!! How beautiful are the words that He used through you today!!??!! 🙂 Praying for you and the prep for the anointed—over the top blog hop!!!! Huge hugs and blessings!
Tammy, I so covet your prayers! 🙂 The Lord knows that my biggest passion has become that of showing Him to women so that they too can be set free. One of the biggest lies we have come to believe deals with our understanding of beauty… My prayer is that the Lord would set His daughters free to be beautiful as He created them to be… 😉 May the Lord bless you too!
This is sooo good! It reminds me of the saying, “As plain as the nose on your face.” Often what we’re looking for is right in front of us.
Eileen, I had never heard that saying and it made me laugh. I totally pictured myself trying to look at my nose… 🙂 What’s funny with that image is that when u try to look at it u never get a clear picture of what’s there unless you look at ur reflection through a mirror. I’m sure there’s a lesson there.. 🙂 will give it
Some more thought… ;). Thanks for the awesome comment! Love it when u ladies cause my wheels to spin! 😉 Hugs!
Loved your lesson today …the precious way our little ones teach us. How often do we look down the road too far trying to see what’s coming or what to expect when the very lesson God is trying to teach us is within our grasp and we overlook it. Instead of taking God’s hand and learning through His word, we jump ahead and try to see or do on our own. Then we wonder why we fail. We need to be willing to let God guide us in HIS own time not OUR time. Take time to smell the roses or appreciate the beauty of a simple rain drop, or as Eileen said, “It’s as plain as the nose on our face” .. a wonderful old saying.
I just find it amazing how He finds the way to talk to us if we are willing to listen. Pray for me that I will hear His voice to guide me to where He wants me to go. I think because your daughter is so young and pure she found enjoyment in a simple drop. Too bad we overlook the simple pleasures right in front of our eyes.
