3 Ways to See God at Work in Your Life

It's a natural desire to want to see God at work in our lives. We often think that if God doesn't move in big, miraculous ways then He is not at work in our lives, but that is not true.

In the Experiencing God Bible Study Book, Henry Blackaby and his co-authors outline ways we can see God at work around us each and every day.

1. Look for God's Activity Around You

A theme throughout the Bible study book is that God is always at work around you. Instead of asking God to bless your plans, you should observe where God is already moving in your life and join Him there. This requires spiritual attentiveness and prayerful observation of the opportunities, changed lives, and needs that He puts before you.

2. Pay Attention to the Holy Spirit's Promptings

We know from John 14:26 that God speaks to us by the Holy Spirit through the Bible, prayer, circumstances, and the church.

A growing sensitivity to how the Holy Spirit is moving around you is a major theme throughout the study. If you sense conviction, encouragement, or a calling in a specific direction and it aligns with Scripture, it may be a sign of God's active work in your life.

3. Keep A Spiritual Journal

When God speaks to you and you see His hand at work, write down what He says and how He is moving. Keeping record of how God has moved in our lives can help us remember that He is at work even in tough seasons. To create a spiritual journal, all you need is a notebook with empty pages. Sections in your journal may include testimonies, daily and weekly reviews, spiritual markers, and prayer requests.

The best way to sum it up is "watch to see where God is working and join Him." He is already at work all around us. It is in our obedience that we notice and faithfully join Him!
