If we will take the trip, he’ll light the sky

My life isn’t really all that deliberate. In fact, most of my blessings I have just stumbled into. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve looked at my good things in my life and wondered, “how in the world did I get here?”  I’m not educated, nor am I gifted or rich.  

I just got a great job promotion that I’m not convinced I totally earned. I have relationships  that have changed my life, people that I never sought out. I just found them. Or they found me. And despite my bad self, I still have friends who stuck with me.  
Looking around, I’m so blessed, and I didn’t do anything to deserve any of it. 

Is it possible to just get “lucky” in regards to God? Can I just try to live right and suddenly find myself smack dab in the middle of wonder, without even trying?  

Or do I have to be intentional — seeking Him out.

I wish I had acted more like the wise men, looking for the answer rather than just bumbling along.

They asked for an answer and all they had to do was follow the star. It was almost as if God was saying, “You take the trip, I’ll light the sky.” 

Paul describes humans as “seekers of God, feeling their way toward him”. A.W. Tozer said that “God is never found accidentally.” 

What would I see, if only I would start to look? 


“And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart” (Jer. 29:13).
