Pointing & Groping

Acts 17:27
so that they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us;

God has done so much in and around us to force us into a God-hunt. Not only is there a God-shaped hole in each of us... but there are God-shaped things all around us that declare His presence and supremacy. Creation, nature, life , biology, genetics, order, morality, ethics, law, art, truth, relationships, conscience, history, literature, even fantasy... the list of hints is truly endless. God has not been lazy in providing us signs of His presence. My job is to point out just how close He is to each of us. I must find the signs and hints of God and declare His presence "so that they should seek the Lord, so that they might grope for Him and find Him." And I must not be surprised by the clumsy groping of a lost and confused world. Instead, I must point them to Jesus with confidence and prayer that their groping hands might lay hold of Him.

God, help me point others to You.
Amen.
