We’ve been meditating on selected phrases from my friend Randy Raysbrook’s Psalm of Hope:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I love this one:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I say, “Lord, I can’t always see you.”
You say, “Where have you been looking.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ignatius of Loyola, among many others, taught the importance of experiencing God’s presence “in all things.” The concept is summarized nicely by the Creighton University School of Pharmacy and Health Professions<\/a> (speaking of experiencing God’s presence in all things!):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ignatius of Loyola taught others to experience life attuned to God\u2019s activity in everyday circumstances. Finding God in all things is an invitation to encounter God\u2019s presence in each moment, to become aware of God\u2019s beauty in everything and to notice God\u2019s action in all the events of our lives through an ongoing process of personal discernment. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Randy writes, “Where have you been looking?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7 <\/sup> Is there anyplace I can go to avoid your Spirit? to be out of your sight?
8 <\/sup> If I climb to the sky, you’re there! If I go underground, you’re there!
9 <\/sup> If I flew on morning’s wings to the far western horizon,
10 <\/sup> You’d find me in a minute\u2014 you’re already there waiting!
11 <\/sup> Then I said to myself, “Oh, he even sees me in the dark! At night I’m immersed in the light!” (Psalm 139.7 – 11, MSG)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In him we live and move and have our being. (Acts 17.28, ESV)<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
