Glimpses Of Daddy

The other day our little grandson, Jordan,was running around the living room, enjoying his own miniature Toys R Us store. He had his Veggie Tales toys out . . . his ball . . . his stuffed animals . . . his little ball you put the different geometric shapes in . . . heeven had his grandfather! Enough to keep any 14-month old occupied, right? Yes - until Jordan saw a certain person moving back and forth past the window on the front porch.

It was his father! As soon as the little guy saw his Dad outside, he turned his back on all those toys, dropped the one in his hand, and ran to the window squealing and shouting, Dah-y! No toy got a reaction like that! Seeing his Dad was better than anything else he had!

It's exciting to see the great delight in our grandson whenever he gets a glimpse of Daddy. It's worth dropping everything for.Psalm 37:4talks about what should light you up if you're a child of God."Delight yourself in the Lord and He will giveyou the desires of your heart."Get excited about seeing the Lord . . . like a certain baby I know gets excited about seeing his earthly father. A glimpse of Daddy is worth dropping everything for.

In our word for today from the Word of God, the Lord describes how you can keep getting exciting glimpses of Him.I Chronicles 16:10-11 - "Glory in His holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice. Look to the Lordand His strength; seek His face always."The ones who see the Lord all the time are the ones whoseekthe Lord all the time who arelookingfor Him all day . . . every day. And those who seek the Lord "rejoice" - they're having a good time!

The fact is that your Lord is working all around you all the time creating - beauty for you to enjoy . . . creating opportunities for you . . . positioning people to be just the right person at just the right time . . . keeping you from something that could have hurtyou . . .sending you encouragement . . . moving obstacles . . . providing something you need . . .giving you a breakthrough insight where you didn't know what to do the list is endless. But God loves you so much . . . He's got a lot invested in you - His only Son's life . . . and He's pouring out His love on you every day . . . even the days when itlooks totally dark. Remember,"His mercies are new every morning."

Your Heavenly Daddy is passing back and forth by your window all day long. Are you seeing Him? Or have you been so busy with your toys, so busy with your problems, so self-occupied, that you're missing His activity right in front of you. You won't see Him if you don't seek Him. That means waking up each morning and declaring today another God-Hunt. You begin your day saying, Good morning, Lord! Please give me eyes to see You throughout the day today - even in the things I may not like orunderstand . . . in big things and little things.

Your daily God-sightings become the core of your praises to Him . . . and they build your confidence and remind your heart that, no matter how things look, your Father is all over your life . . . your Father is in control.

Don't forget the picture of a little guy catching a glimpse of his daddy, running his direction, and squealing with delight. That should be you and me throughout this day, throughout every day. I'm excited! I just got another glimpse of Daddy!
