Read Psalm 95

O that today you would listen to His voice! Do not harden your hearts as at Miribah, as on the day at Massah in the wilderness, when your ancestors tested me, and put me to the proof, though they had seen my work.—Psalm 95: 7-8

Everyday I experience God’s goodness in my life: in the strength of my marriage; in the eyes of my children; in the gift of enough to eat and a house to live in; in the companionship of my friends; in the community of my church. I know that all I have is a blessing, and yet how often am I put out by small meaningless occurrences in my hectic life. How easy I forget to listen to His voice, or when I do hear Him, how quickly I brush it aside to keep on my schedule. We need to keep our eyes and ears open EVERY DAY…keep our heart open EVERY DAY! Proof of His love is around us; our task is to be open to Him EVERY DAY.

Pray: God, help me use my eyes, ears and heart to experience your glory every day, Amen.
