A PENSIVE PAUSE
Today's reading: Job 35-38

"He directs the snow to fall on the earth and tells the rain to pour down. Everyone stops working at such a time so they can recognize his power." Job 37:6-7 NLT

I've done that, haven't you?

Stopped to notice the first snow flake or the first few drops of rain as they hit the window or the pavement?

Like a small child, I do it in wonder, in admiration, in awe of His abilities and His ways.

It's those pensive pauses that we need more of in our lives.

Times when we stop what we doing, what we're worrying over, what we're trying to fix--and look into the wonders of what He can do.

It's noticing the dandelion growing between the sidewalk cracks...

Or the veining on a leaf...

Or the cloud formation in a blue sky...

Or the bubbles of air trapped in a glass of cool, from the tap glass of water...

Or the roadmap of veins along the back of your hand...

I urge you to pause long enough today to see God's fingerprint in something. It will do you good.
