The Scriptures ask us to think about God differently than primarily a miracle worker. They invite us to imagine God's presence and activity in our ordinary, day-to-day lives. To ask, seek, and find God in the most common areas of life is the hallmark of being a believer in God and a disciple of Jesus Christ. The Book of Ruth perfectly demonstrates this reality. It is a beautiful story of regular people finding their way through life on a day-by-day basis. As they live out their days, they discover the presence of God guiding, correcting, and providing for them along the way. God is everywhere in The Book of Ruth, but He never appears. He is a constant redeeming force, but He never speaks. God is the director of this fantastic and crucial story in the Bible, but He never forces anything to happen. He does not command, rebuke, or push. In ways both wonderful and ordinary, God simply allows people to make decisions while guiding them with a gentle hand.

A Thrill of Hope: Celebrating Advent at Home (Revised and Expanded for 2020)

Wallace, Ashley

It is God the Creator's desire to communicate Himself to His created. When we enjoy the presence of God through His daily whispers, and the sweetness of His love, things on earth will grow strangely dim in the light of glory and grace. The delight and joy of the Lord surpasses the pain and suffering of the work we are called to do for His glory.
