Seeing God Everywhere

Sunday Rewind is a 5-day Devotional based on the weekly sermon at Resonate Community Church

October 19th Sermon, Day 4

When was the last time you truly saw God at work in your life? Not just intellectually acknowledged His existence, but actually recognized His presence and activity around you? This is one of the beautiful promises that comes with having a pure heart—you begin to see God not as a distant theory, but as a present reality.

People with pure hearts develop spiritual vision. They start noticing God's fingerprints on their daily experiences. They see His provision in unexpected ways, His protection in close calls, His guidance in open and closed doors. What once seemed like coincidence now reveals itself as God's loving involvement in their story.

This kind of spiritual sight doesn't happen overnight, and it's not about becoming super-spiritual or mystical. It's about having a heart that's focused on God rather than divided by competing interests. When your heart is undivided in its devotion to Him, your spiritual eyes become clearer.

You might start seeing God in a coworker's unexpected kindness, in the way a difficult situation worked out for good, or in the peace you feel during a challenging season. You begin to recognize that the God you read about in Scripture is the same God who is actively involved in your Monday morning, your family relationships, and your future plans.

This is what it means to live with spiritual awareness—recognizing that God is not just the God of Sunday mornings, but the God of every moment. He's working in ways you might have missed before, but as your heart becomes purer, your vision becomes clearer.

Today, ask God to open your eyes to see Him at work in your ordinary, everyday life.

Bible Verse

'By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the king's anger; he persevered because he saw him who is invisible.' - Hebrews 11:27

Reflection Question

Where have you seen evidence of God's presence or activity in your life recently, and how might a purer heart help you recognize Him more clearly in the future?

Quote To be pure in heart is to view God not as a theory, but as reality. When your heart's pure, you begin to realize God's activity everywhere.

Prayer

God, I want to see You at work in my life. Open my spiritual eyes to recognize Your presence in my daily experiences. Help me to view You not as a distant concept, but as a loving Father who is actively involved in my story. Amen.
