Keep your eyes open for God

Keep your eyes open for God!
As I was reading the Message Bible this morning this line jumped out of the pages:

Keep your eyes open for God, watch for his works; be alert for signs of his presence.

So often we go through life half asleep. We takes things for granted and we no longer marvel at the goodness and beauty of God so obvious in this world that he sustain. If we want to see God, we need to clean eyes of our hearts of materialism, and open ourselves to the beauty of God in our everyday life. If we want to see God, we need to put the deadly rationalism away and watch for his works, to see his finger in even minute details of our lives. If we want to see God, we can't allow ourselves to dream but we must wake up to the reality of the Presence we can't live without!
