A quick dose of 'Max Lucado' this morning:

GOD IS!

"Look around you! Rather than shocking the globe with an occasional demonstration of deity, God has opted to display his power daily. Proverbially. Pounding waves. Prism-cast colors. Birth, death, life. We're surrounded by miracles. God is throwing testimonies at us like fireworks, each one exploding, 'God is! God is!'

"The Psalmist marveled at such holy handiwork. 'Where can I go from your Spirit?' he questioned with delight. 'Where can I go from your presence?' (Psalm 139:7).

"We wonder, with so many miraculous testimonies around us, how we could escape God. But somehow we do. We live in an art gallery of divine creativity, and yet are content to gaze only at the carpet.

"The next time you hear a baby laugh, take note as His Majesty whispers over so gently, 'I'm here!'"
