Finding God in mosquitoes (Cara Callbeck)


   I think we struggle more to find God in the everyday nuisances like mosquitoes – like children who keep losing things, bad traffic, or an irritating co-worker.  It seems as though the harder life gets or the darker the moment, the more challenging it is to find God within it.

   Why do we tend to put God outside of bad experiences and dark moments, even though that’s where we need God most?  God keeps faith forever, though, so I know He is undoubtedly in those moments, even when we fail to recognise Him.  It’s when we do recognise God in the nuisances and in the darker times that we can find greater comfort and strength to get through those moments.  If we can learn to find God in the not-so-great every day, perhaps it will build our trust that God is with us when things are looking really bleak.
