Really?

"He moves mountians without their knowing it and overturns them in his anger. He shakes the earth from its place and makes its pillars tremble. He speaks to the sun and it does not shine; he seals off the light of the starts. He alone stretches out the heavens and treads on the waves of the sea. He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be counted. When he passes me, I cannot see him; when he goes by, I cannot perceive him." Job 9:10

I read this verse last night and I couldn't believe what it said. All the power and glory of God, and yet I don't see Him in my everyday life. It's not that He isn't there. It's that I am so caught up in my small little life I have a hard time seeing Him. It's sad really. The maker of the stars passes by and I don't even recognize Him. I think sometimes I wish I was living in a different time period of my life. My time is consumed with what the future holds and what I need to get done before tomorrow gets here. I look back and wish I was still in 2nd grade and didn't have to worry about this grown up stuff. I wish I was in high school with all my friends. I am never completely satisfied with what God has for me today in this moment, in this period of my life. I was caught off guard at how many other things consume my time except for what is really important. I want to be able to recognize God in my everyday life. And to do so I must spend time with Him and learn from His word, which takes time, which means my priorities have to be a little different, which means I only have today to get that right. Just like the pastor of the Brooklyn Tabernacle said, "We don't have yesterday, its over, we don't have tomorrow because its not guarenteed. We only have today to get things right." I think that message is just now sinking in.
