5 Incredible Everyday Ways God Reveals Himself To Us

personal photo

God is beyond powerful, having the ability to create and destroy. He reveals His Almighty power through many incredible, yet average things. He proves His existence through His creation, and, sometimes, His destruction.

He makes Himself known in everyday life. These are the ways that I see him in my everyday life.

1. God reveals His plan through natural phenomena.

This includes anything from storms, tornadoes, volcanic eruptions, hurricanes, and even fog. God reveals His frightening, overwhelming power, something that makes Him amazing, through the destruction of areas. However, he makes these destructive forces strangely beautiful, and uses these to reveal His plan, whether it's a new home for survivors or a call to help others. No matter where God calls you, a natural phenomena is one main way He reveals His plan for you.

2. Sunsets and sunrises reveal His glory.

Although any normal person would think that sunsets and sunrises are also natural phenomena, neither are highly considered in this category. Sunsets and sunrises are beautiful, glorious ways in the beginning of the day and the end of day that God reveals His wondrous glory. We can wake up to God's glory and we can enjoy His glory right before resting in His presence.

3. Your conversations with others reveal God’s compassion.

Often times, God reveals His loving, overwhelming compassion through the people around us. By the way the people express their love for us, the way our friends care for us in our hurt, and the way our family provides for our needs all show that God lives within other people and His love and compassion is expressed simply in everyday communication and affection.

4. He reveals His advice through signs, billboards, articles, etc.

Before my grandmother passed, I noticed a church sign that read, "Earth has no sorrow that Heaven can't heal." When I was struggling with self-image, I received a card that said, "A reminder that God loves you." Lastly, I was reading an article titled, "I Took A Month Off Of My Life To Work On My Relationship With God," and it opened my eyes to my need to be with God when I decide anything for my future. In the same way, God can reveal things to others through signs, billboards, and articles, too. Be sure to listen to Him in everyday situations.

5. Strangers’ kindness reveals God’s kindness.

Have you ever had a random stranger pay for your meal, whether at a sit-in or in the drive-thru? Have you ever had a stranger compliment you out of pure kindness? That's God! He reveals His kindness and how He lovingly provides for all our needs. God isn't only in your inner circle, He is everywhere! He reveals Himself in the most basic ways, but because it is God, He makes those everyday ways, incredible.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
