Scripture: Matthew 5:8
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
Thought for the Day: A little girl and her father were in New York, and they decided to visit the Empire State Building. After waiting in line for quite some time, it came their turn to enter the elevator and begin the journey up. As they did so, the little girl’s ears began to pop and her stomach started to feel a little uneasy. She pulled on her father’s hand, and when he looked down at her, she said, “Does God know we’re coming?” Ancient people’s world view had them looking to the heavens for God, and traditionally we have followed their lead. There is nothing wrong with being inspired by the majesty of the heavens, but let us not forget to seek God as we glance around the world at eye level. Those with an open and blameless heart will see God just about everywhere.
Prayer: O God, if you have taught me anything through the life of Jesus, it is that you are very present in earthly happenings. Amen.
Have you been thinking about
where God is inviting you to stretch?
