God is Everywhere

 

I slipped into my prayer window after a busy time preparing food for some of our family, who will arrive soon. I sensed a sigh of relief. The chicken is bubbling. The jellies are setting in their moulds. The cake for the pre-birthday celebration rests in the cake saver. With an hour to spare.

I started the timer for the five minutes – paltry, I know – which I mark out for listening particularly to God’s voice to me. I sensed his welcome, and his whisper that he loves it that I have a special place set aside to encounter him, but that, in fact, he is no more present in that prayer window than he is in the kitchen, the garden, or the garage. It is me that is more present in that special place.

Lord, as I anticipate a busy, happy weekend, may I also anticipate catching your eye in the eye of loved grandchildren, of hearing your chuckle in the good-humour of loved son and daughter-in-law, of being stilled and consoled by your love I see in the eyes of Don. May I sense your presence amongst the livestock at the Banchory Show. May I see your exuberance in the competitors in the highland dancing. May I sense your joy in the dogs and their owners in the dog show.

Lord, I praise you for this whole world, which you have so lovingly created down to the tiniest detail. I love you, Lord. May your love and peace flow through me to all those I meet today.
