God Showing Up by Cindy Evans

We never know where He’ll show up next.

He’s not always in the expected places.

He won’t necessarily be in our comfort zone

or in burning bushes in front of our faces...

Maybe in that still small voice we’ve heard about,

but maybe in the fire or the wind...

maybe in the tears of a hurting heart

or in the kindness and grace of a friend...

Maybe in the song that seemed to play just for us,

maybe in new mercies we needed in the morning...

maybe in the second chance we didn’t deserve

or in the generosity of a church member praying...

Lord, I don’t know where I’ll see you today,

I only hope that I do...

I can’t predict where You will appear

but please, don’t let me miss You!
