While repairing the seat hinge on one of our toilets a couple of things occurred to me.
Well, to be honest 3 things occurred to me.
Firstly, that I needed to clean the toilet soon!
Secondly, that it’s worth remembering the next time I use a toilet in someone else’s home to check if they have a slow close toilet seat like we do - to avoid any embarrassing toilet loud crashes and potential breakages!
Thirdly, it’s really easy to know we have our feet planted exactly where we thought they were – right next to God. But, we can find ourselves turning our head, one tiny bit at a time until, eventually, we’re wondering where God is.
As ever, He is exactly where we last looked – right next to us!
The hinge on our toilet seat doesn’t go out of alignment quickly. It takes several months. Once you notice it not working quite right it’s really easy to make it work properly again – you just have to get the hinges a tiny bit of attention (one of them simply needs pushing back where it belongs – perhaps just 1 centimetre).
And so it is with our relationship God – it is super easy to lost sight of where He is. It is also, mercifully, even easier to find Him again.
How? Just take a pause and listen – much like the way bubbles always rise on water, so is the voice of God always evident. It just takes us standing still and listening.
Just a thought…
