Notice

I have met people who notice way more detail when they walk into a room than I do. I have some friends in law enforcement and they can scan a room and notice in great detail who is there and assess very quickly any threat or anything out of the ordinary. I have a friend who can see things one time and remember in great detail all that he sees.

I also listen to a blog called “The Professional Noticer” and I’m trying to improve my “noticing skills”.  It’s fascinating to notice things that are a bit uncommon or extra ordinary. I love noticing spectacular sunsets or a beautiful sunrise.  If I don’t stop and notice things that are unique to today; it might be a bit boring and drudgery.

Elihu is concluding his remarks and his rebuttal with Job. He finishes strong with some questions about notice. Check this out….

²¹ We cannot look at the sun,
    for it shines brightly in the sky
    when the wind clears away the clouds.
²² So also, golden splendor comes from the mountain of God.
    He is clothed in dazzling splendor.
²³ We cannot imagine the power of the Almighty;
    but even though he is just and righteous,
    he does not destroy us.
²⁴ No wonder people everywhere fear him.
    All who are wise show him reverence.” (Job 37:21-24 NLT)

I want to notice the hand of God throughout my day today.

I want to notice the hand of God in the people I love dearly.

I want to notice the hand of God in strangers that I don’t know.

I want to notice the hand of God where I live.

I want to notice the hand of God where I work.

I want to notice the hand of God WHEREVER I find myself.

If I will notice the hand of God in the ordinary people, events and locations – I will realize that His Presence is EVERYWHERE I am.

Pressing On!
