This scripture always reminds me of the tag game, Blind Man's Bluff. The person who’s "It" has a blindfold placed over their eyes and with outstretched arms, they stumble around in the dark, hoping to find their way.
Sometimes trying to find God can feel a lot like that. But the truth is as scripture tells us, God isn't far away, he’s up close and personal.
I recently created a podcast called Where Do You Find God? Each week I ask my guests about the ways they encounter God in their everyday lives. Some have shared of intentional daily rituals where they practise the presence of God. Others, it was as if through our conversation, they started to form a stronger understanding of their unique personal connection to God.
"I find him in the exhale, he is my place of belonging, my turangawaewae.”
“It's like when you're at home with someone and even if you don't talk, even if they’re in another room, there's a sense of their presence. It's like that with God.”
“It’s sitting on a laptop in my bedroom, writing and creating, and in that process, I speak with God, he speaks with me, he somehow forms me and grows me. Sometimes I want to stand up and punch the air when a sermon comes together well. I feel so alive in those moments.”
In our quest to find God, just like in Blind Man's Bluff, where we can no longer rely on our natural sight, we must allow ourselves to develop our other senses to find our way. As we tentatively shuffle forward in the dark, with our blindfold firmly in place we suddenly understand, it's HIS breath on our face, it's HIS scent in our nostrils and as the eyes of our hearts begin to open, we see that God is also walking towards us, mirroring our outstretched arms. Waiting for us to come home, waiting to take us in his loving embrace. For he is not far from each one of us.
Prayer:
Father, thank you for the truth that you are in our midst. I pray that we will increasingly become more aware of your presence in our lives. Give us ears to hear and eyes to see and hearts to understand that you are always there and always interested in all the details of our everyday lives. Āmine
Pismo Święte
