When Do You Perceive The Reality of God Most Clearly?

After many years of walking with Christ and trying—with His help and His power—to live for Him, I’ve noticed that I perceive the REALITY of God most clearly and most tangibly when I am really in need and facing issues that are, obviously, beyond my capabilities. Is this how it works for everyone?

Of course, the truth is that I am always REALLY in need and always facing issues that are beyond my capabilities, but there are times when life happens in such a way that, that truth is more pressing and more urgent and more obvious. Times like, oh…I don’t know, like…this week, for example.

I know it’s early, but this week, as I attempt to serve others, I’m already acutely aware of my need for God’s help and my own insufficiency. (And all it took was a few phone calls to bring that into sharp focus.) But, on the up side, I am also sensing His REALITY and His presence.
