Do It Again!

Point of Grace sings a song that I love. It's called Do It Again. The words are below but I needed to post this so that I would be reminded of how often these words hold true and if I pay attention how often I see God's hand at work in my own life.

Just when I think it couldn't be
Any harder down here
Another blow comes out of nowhere
And knocks me out again
And when I think I'm all alone
The phone starts to ring
It's just the voice I needed to hear
On the other end
You do it again, You do it again
You speak to me just like a friend
You always seem to show up right on time
You do it again, I guess you know when
My heart needs to hear your voice
I'm so forgetful, that's why I'm thankful
You do it again

I could be driving in my car
I turn the radio on
Trying to figure out my thoughts
Then I hear the perfect song
I can open up Your word
And not be sure where to turn
But I start to read and it's like you know
Just what I need

You use all these things to speak to me
Could it be you're using me
In someone else's life

Well I wouldn't be surprised

I'm reminded over and over again that God hears us and it's amazing how when we are searching for Him and reaching out, He answers. Often we have to wait but lots of times that answer comes quietly and quickly. It can come through a friend or family. It can come in those quiet moments we spend in His word. It can come in a song or in a smile from a stranger.

So often we miss it because we are too busy to take the time to recognize it for what it is. We pass it off and shrug our shoulders and go on with our day.  But the more we train ourselves and take the time to hear His word and recognize it the more we see Him speak into our lives.

We also need to remember that we might be His voice and light in a persons life.  We need to watch for opportunities to be the blessing in someone else's world.
