Hiding in Plain Sight

"We may ignore, but we nowhere can evade the presence of God. The world is crowded with Him. He walks everywhere incognito. And the incognito is not always hard to penetrate. The real labour is to remember, to attend. In fact, to come awake. Still more, to remain awake."
C.S. Lewis, from Letters to Malcolm: Chiefly on Prayer

The presence of God is all around me.

I see it in:

*The people all around me on the streets. They are His creation, living pointless lives, in desperate need of Him.

*The force of nature:burning sun, blowing wind, driving rain- POWER!

*Encouraging words and actions which lift my soul.

*Stillness- stop and listen!

*The lives of fellow believers

*My daily subsistance
