The Whole Story: A Life in God's Kingdom, Part TwoPavyzdys

Daily Reflection: Two essential truths of God are that 1) he protects his family and 2) he protects his family in every step of their lives. We often remember the former of these truths; however, it is the latter half that we tend to forget. Often, our most powerful experiences with God come in unexpected moments. Sometimes these moments are an apparent movement of his protection, and other times we may not notice his presence in a situation until hindsight. No matter the case, it is vital that we recognize him in these moments – we must recognize where our help comes from. When we know who is leading us, our confidence can flourish, and he can keep us “from all evil.”

Daily Demonstration: It is much easier to see that your help comes from in the middle of a dire situation. Unfortunately, there are many times in which we fail to see the mighty work that God did to help in other circumstances. This is why reflection is a vital aspect in the life of a member of the family of God. Take time today to look back in hindsight at the times when you didn’t see God at work at the moment. Give gratitude for all that he has done – especially that which you didn’t even know to thank him for!
