It is an incredible morning. There are birds calling. A light morning mist slowly disappearing. The sun’s first rays beam over the top of my neighbor’s house.
“Let’s go for a walk”, I say to my little dog. The lake will be the perfect place to hear the banjo frogs before they go in for the day or even see one of the small turtles that live in the feeding stream.
What is that bubbling? It must be a frog! Moving closer…. it stops. Standing silently, I wait. “Lord”, I whisper. “Show me your glory. Let me see this mystery.” I wait. And, I wait. And, nothing happens. Well, I am a bit ashamed as I know that we are not to ‘test the Lord’ so I’ll just head back home.
I look up and there across on the lake – what I have been watching for all spring! A baby duck! A tiny baby duck staying close to her mama and exploring the shoreline. My heart soars …… and then I got it.
What God said to me was “Here is my wonder. It was and is around you all the time. You must KNOW it is always here. Just KNOW and believe. Live in that space of abundance.”
Heading back home, I feel an indescribable peace. Why did I even ask…… when His presence is so abundant?
Live abundantly.
Ephesians 3:20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, (Eph 3:20 KJV)
