Recognizing His presence and majesty in a sunrise, a flower, or a simple breeze enriches our worship, converting ordinary scenery into sacred sanctuary.

Question of the day

How can I see God’s presence and glory in my day-to-day experiences?

To see God’s presence more clearly, we must cultivate purposeful awareness. Psalm 19:1 reminds us, “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.” Take intentional pauses during your day to reflect on simple things—nature, kindness shown by others, daily provisions—and consciously acknowledge God’s handiwork in each beauty or blessing. Developing an attitude of gratitude will consistently unveil God’s hidden presence and glory to you.
