One day, the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord. Some days, I look around and it is easy to see the glory of the Lord at work, and yet other days it seems He is so far away, when things go wrong , when it seems like no one cares, no one appreciates.
Yet God is always there, always with each one of us, seeing what we are doing, watching over us. We just need to look around, to see the glory of the Lord in even the small, everyday things that are going on around us. If you are genuinely on the look out for God, striving to see him at work, looking for His hand in the things going on, then you cannot fail to see Him at work. It may only be in watching the rain fall, seeing the petals on a flower opening, hearing the birds sing over the noise of the traffic, seeing the smile of your children, or it may be in really big things, like healing, God providing even when all the odds are against it and it seems impossible. As God once asked Moses, "is the arm of the Lord too short?" No, God's arm is not too short, for Him, nothing is impossible, absolutely nothing.
One day, all men will see this, even those who choose now to disregard God, to live their lives for themselves, caring only for riches, position, power, fame and recognition. One day, everyone will bow their knee before Jesus, even those who refuse to acknowledge there is a God. And the sad things is, the truly heartbreaking thing, is that for many, that will be a day too late. Their hearts will have become so hardened over the years that even though they know there is a God, that Jesus Christ is His only begotten Son, they will be unable to accept the free gift of salvation God is offering. Their sin will have gone too deep and the wound will be incurable, as Micah pointed out in Micah 1:9.
