I often have the thought that I am missing something. During a conversation, I may not hear every word due to my hearing loss. But even without the loss, I have a feeling that I am not really understanding everything. I have the same feeling that I am missing something when I watch something on television or observe some live event.
Isaiah 40:28 says, “Have you not known? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable.” Every time we gaze upon the beauty of nature, enjoy the affection of a loved one, or have deep thoughts of meaningful truths, we must consider that God is the Creator of all these things. If we don’t ponder God in these moments, we are simply missing the essence of our lives. In other words, we truly are missing something important, when we don’t consider how God is impacting our thoughts and experiences.
