When It Pleases God

Galatians 1:15

But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace,

In our arrogance and our ignorance, we often expect God to show up exactly when we want Him to and in what manner we want Him to.  In doing so, we often miss Him when He shows up in the birds, in the trees and in the smiles and words of those around us.  The facets of Our Almighty God are beyond our understanding.  Most of His good work goes unseen and unappreciated by us.  It is the shallowness of our relationship that creates this phenomenon.  As we begin to focus more on Him and less on ourselves, our eyes are opened to see how everything He does is done in perfect timing when it is pleasing to Him.  

Prayer

Heavenly Father, we pray that you will help us to turn our focus away from ourselves and turn our attention to you.  Open our eyes so that the fullness of your grace is revealed to us in every aspect of our lives.
