WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT AND LOOKING FOR?

One night a wife found her husband standing over their infant's crib. 

As she watched him looking down at their very first child, she saw on his face a mixture of emotions:  disbelief, delight, amazement, skepticism, enchantment etc..

Touched by this unusual display and the deep emotions it aroused, with eyes glistening she slipped her arm around her husband. 

"A penny for your thoughts," she said.

"It's amazing!" he replied, “How can this be! It is just amazing.”

The wife was so moved that tears started to flow. She replied, “Yes, indeed; it is amazing! How this child was formed in my womb…!   It is indeed God’s creative miracle! How else can we explain it?”

“What are you talking about? … I just don't see how anybody ...... could make a crib like that ...for only Rs. 3000."

 Instead of seeing the miracle of God, are we not engrossed in the petty things around us?

Look at the nature and you will see God’s creative craft, as the Psalmist have seen and contemplated in Psalms 19:

  1The heavens declare the glory of God; skied proclaim proclaim the work of his hands.  ² Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge. ³ They have no speech, they use no words; no sound is heard from them. ⁴ Yet their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world. In the heavens God has pitched a tent for the sun. ⁵ It is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, like a champion rejoicing to run his course. ⁶ It rises at one end of the heavens and makes its circuit to the other; nothing is deprived of its warmth.   ⁷ The law of the Lord is perfect, refreshing the soul; The statutes of the  Lord are trustworthy, making wise the simple. ⁸ The precepts of the Lord are right, giving joy  to the heart. The commands of the  Lord are radiant, giving light to the eyes. ,  ⁹ The fear of the Lord is pure, enduring forever. The decrees of the Lord are firm, and all of them are righteous.  ¹⁰ They are more precious than gold,  than much pure gold; they are sweeter than honey, than honey from the honeycomb.  ¹¹ By them your servant is warned; in keeping them there is great reward. ¹² But who can discern their own errors? Forgive my hidden faults. ¹³ Keep your servant also from willful sins; may they not rule over me.  Then I will be blameless, innocent or great transgression. ¹⁴ May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.
