For me, God has not shown himself with a clap of thunder and a bright light. He has not appeared on a mountain and shown me the afterglow of Him passing by. He did not speak through a burning bush that was not consumed. He reveals Himself in moments of stillness and quiet. When I am still and listening, and once again surrender my heart and life, then it is clear God is there.
As usual I had a song stuck in my head, and I was humming "Pocketful of Sunshine" while I read from the book of Psalms. I was at the part where it says "take me away, to better days, a hiding place...", but then my humming stopped abruptly as I simultaneously read this verse:
You are my hiding place; You shall preserve me from trouble; You shall surround me with songs of deliverance.
To most people this would just be a silly coincidence, but for me it was proof that God is intimately acquainted in all my ways. I was in my "hiding place", the place I went to where I could get a break from the chaos and rush of our mission. It was where He preserved me from trouble and suddenly a song with flimsy meaning became a sweet reminder directly from my savior to deliver me from the frustrations I had been facing for the past couple of days.
There was no denying God's presence.
These moments are the ones which make my faith in God worth it. That He loves me enough to include Himself in the insignificant details of my life is beyond my comprehension. His love is vibrant and powerful, yet displayed in quiet moments.
His love is quiet intensity
