Have you ever heard someone say you’ll always find what you’re looking for? Isn’t it amazing how true it is?
People who look for pain in everything tend to find pain in everything.
People who look for joy in everything tend to find joy in everything.
This principle is so powerful that someone who is looking for joy can actually find it in things that don’t seem particularly joyful to you or me!
Smack dab in the middle of the brutal opening chapter of his letter to the Romans, Paul wrote these words:
“For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.” (Romans 1:20 NIV, emphasis mine)
Y’all, we have the opportunity to see beauty everywhere, and as a result, to see reminders of the good God who made that beauty everywhere, too.
Today, you and I will find what we’re looking for. Let’s look for the right things and let them point us to the right One.
