Look for the Blue

There is a story about a professor who asked his students to look for the yellow things around his classroom. He then asked them to close their eyes and instead, name the blue things in the room. His students were annoyed and naturally found this difficult to do.

Sometimes it is challenging for us to see the things that God is doing and the ways He is moving, because we can look at a situation and only see the yellow. The yellow can be what we worry about or the hard things in life that try to consume us. It’s not easy to look at these things and be able to see God in it.

One of the ways we can train ourselves to see more of Him, is to know more of Him. To know more of Him, we need to study the Word to see who He is and what He has done. It can be hard for us to find something when we don’t know what to look for, but sometimes, the things we can’t see as a good thing are actually a God thing. There are pieces of God everywhere, and He is always working for the good of His people.
