It's easy to overlook the evidence of God's presence when life moves quickly. It can be even harder when we are in the middle of a challenging season or fighting to win a physical or emotional race, one that we keep losing time and time again.

We so easily become caught up in our plans, problems, and pressures and forget to notice the everyday miracles. But God is constantly revealing himself, and his presence is evident all around us.

Romans 1:20
For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities - his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God.

God isn't hiding. His eternal power and divine nature are on display in every corner of the world. The question isn't whether he’s revealing himself, it's whether we're paying attention. Sometimes, we look for God only in the spectacular moments, big miracles, major breakthroughs, or clear answers to prayer. But the same God who parts seas also whispers through the wind and the laughter of a friend.

This verse is an invitation to slow down and recognize that the God who made everything also made you, and he's been pursuing your attention all along. Every sunrise is a reminder of his faithfulness.

Take a moment today to look around. Notice the beauty, the order, the wonder of the world - and let it stir your gratitude and awe. God’s invisible qualities are woven into everything you can see, touch, and experience. If you’re reading this, you have no excuse for not knowing God.

Look around. Do you see the earth and the sky? He’s nearer than you think.

God, thank you for revealing your power and nature through everything you've made. Help me slow down long enough to see your hand at work in the world around me. Remind me that you are near, constant, and faithful in every moment. I love you, I trust you, and I worship you. Amen.
