God revealing Himself through quiet focused reflection

This morning at the barn it begin to rain, there was a slight wind at first.  On the horizon I began to  look at many large trees as the storm grew stronger. At a scan of the horizon the tress appeared not to be  moving with the storm's wind.  However, when concentrating on a single tree in the distance I saw movement. It started ever so slightly and as I watched the single tree seemed to move more.  

Taking my eyes away from the single tree to the horizon of many trees, the movement appeared to stop. 

So it is with Faith and our all mighty God.  We look to the horizon of the future and cannot see God appearing to doing anything.   It is easy to see God's hand up close just as it is easy to see movement in the trees in the forefront of of vision. 

My problem I want to see the future through the eyes of the horizon. The view of the horizon always gives us more chances to see God at work . It gives us more opportunities to choose where we want to go, not necessarily where God wants to lead us.  

Maybe God is wanting me to stop and focus on a single tree and I will readily see my God is alive and active in my life handcrafting a single event in my life in the future. I need to narrow my faith focus to that one small tree in the horizon.  Then be prepared to follow God in that one direction of  a single tree moving ever so slight through the power his wind.  

Thanks be to God
