God has been blessing me in the simplest ways lately. He's taken potentially complicated tasks, like finding a job and housing, and has made them extremely simple and logical. We don't pay attention to or thank God for these simple blessings often enough, so take time to do that today.
It's interesting how God's plan seems to make so little sense until we get to a resolution and realize that things worked out exactly as they should. With my job search, not only did I find a great job in a location that I'm excited about, but God also blessed me with little things along the way. He blessed me with a job before the school year begins and higher education jobs become sparse. He blessed me with the entire summer to enjoy in Pittsburgh before I start my next chapter. He's blessed me with a calm assurance that it is the right time to make this move. He's blessed me with more patience than I was aware I could muster throughout the whole job search process.
In addition to these things, God has also blessed me with a great housing situation in Tacoma a month before I even move out. He's taken these big situations and made them manageable.
Today, look at the small complications in your life and how God makes them simple. For example, yesterday I wanted to go to the South Hills to replace the old speakers and stereo in my car, but I didn't want to sit around the shop for 3 hours waiting for them to finish. My friend, Ed, lives in the South Hills, so I called him hoping he would be off because youth pastors are usually off on Monday. Ed was off, free, and lived 10 minutes from the shop, so we hung out all afternoon. This was just one of those simple, everyday occurrences of seeing God's hand in my life.
Take time to thank God for making things simple that we don't notice. He's making your life easy without the fireworks and fanfare. These are the everyday miracles that we should be praising God for!
