My car has been in the shop the last couple of days. I've had to get someone to bring me to the office which means my car is not outside as usual. I am in the middle of a summer youth program and parents drop off their middle and high school students for the youth enrichment program I teach. Well, I've noticed that parents and their children will sit in their cars because they don't see my car. There is no activity or movement outside the building during this time in the morning. But on the inside, there is much activity. Students that have already arrived are preparing for the day's activities. Interns are working and getting ready to do the work of the day. I am usually finalizing any details for the day. All of this is going on inside the building. But you can't see it from the outside.
I notice one parent will drive up and just sit, assuming because they don't see my car, I'm not there. And assume that because they don't see activity, nothing is going on. And the funny thing is, another parent will drive up and sit because they notice the other parent waiting so they in turn make the same assumption.
This hit me as a life lesson. Often times we don't see things going on, but that doesn't mean things aren't happening. We are spirit beings and the spirit realm invisible so we assume God is not at work because what we need has not manifested. But let me assure you, God is working on your behalf. Don't just sit and stay parked and assume nothing is happening in your life. Don't just use your physical eyes. Get up and open the door and see God at work!
