The candle in the picture is burning on my coffee table as I sit here, my laptop on my lap. Two points of light. I love it. My favorite type of candle, however, is the three-wick candle. After all, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit burn in my heart like the points of flame and they release a beautiful fragrance into my life.
If God really flows through our lives, we will feel His presence every single day. We will always know that He is with us, that He is above all and in all and working through every single circumstance. I'm so relieved that I know Him and that, as the scriptures teach, I CAN hear His voice. I can. It's so completely fulfilling and utterly enthralling.
This morning I felt led to go into a particular gift shop. I saw the words "Beauty is Everywhere" on one of the gifts. Got in the car and heard Toby Mac singing about how God is in everything, all day. I asked God why He wanted me to have this particular message at this particular time. I thought He answered me "Because it is true." It is true. I remember once when He very clearly told me over and over again that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. I was very confused as to why that particular point of scripture was being brought to my attention again and again and I suppose, after today's event, that the answer is that it is simply because it it true.
When God tells us to do something, we will be utterly miserable until we do it. We will be as unfulfilled as the rest of the world is, grasping for pleasure like a castaway on a deserted isle seeks food, shelter and water. We were built for the adventure of pursuing and knowing God and being used for His specific purposes. It's a daily treasure, a daily unfolding.
