Father, thank You for my friends, who through common faith have become family. According to Your abundance, give them strength in the Spirit. May Your strength fill them from their inner being, and may we, together experience the fellowship of faith that comes from Christ’s dwelling in our hearts. May we be rooted and grounded together in love. May we share in the joy of mutually comprehending the full extent of Your love. Grant us knowledge—and that which exceeds knowledge—having been filled by You. Amen.

We love to tell stories— we tell stories about the person that cut us off in traffic, about the cookies we baked that got burned, the loved one we know who is in the hospital, or the funny things the kids did during the day. It is in our nature to tell stories, to share about our lives. Have you ever heard someone talk about how they experienced God working in their life? Sometimes we call this a “witness”. We call it that because that refers to “someone who testifies on behalf of a person or to an event that he or she has seen with their own eyes or for which the person has first-hand knowledge.”

A few weeks ago I was listening to a podcast and during a reflection section, one of the people shared that we wonder why God doesn’t seem to do “big” things anymore –any of those miracles we see in the Bible, healings, etc. She said, often God will do those things, but we aren’t looking for them, or don’t expect to see them. So I started looking for God more and more in the everyday, and He is way more present than I ever give Him credit for.
Have you ever shared a story of a time of joy or where you have seen God provide blessings to you or your family? Have you ever shared a story where you have seen God intervene in a time of suffering? This week, I encourage you to look for God in the everyday, and share that story with someone.

Blessings,

Mrs. Longden
