Can you see them? They are there, uniquely placed all over your soul, all over your heart, all over your life with the purpose of shaping who you are becoming. The fingerprints of God are evident in our lives… unmistakably, undoubtedly His. They are difficult to see, practically invisible to notice with eyes that only see what we want, what we think we need, what we think we have to have to satisfy our souls. They get lost in the debris and rubble from the battle that has waged within our souls, a battle for our attention, for our focus, for our hearts. Unfortunately, we get used to living life in the ruins of what was, or what could be, or even what should be. We dream, only to wake up to the reality of…this! And so, life becomes mundane, stagnate and ordinary. We get trapped in between what if and what is. Meanwhile, God continues to leave fingerprints all around our lives vying for our attention. Everyday, 3,000 advertisements attempt to fascinate our imaginations and arrest our attention for a moment. There is a lot noise between you and the voice of God.
If you listen carefully, you can hear it…if you look intently, you can see it. The fingerprints and the voice of God are everywhere!
What arrests your attention?
Will you allow yourself to see God’s fingerprints and be captivated by His love?
Psalm 34:8
“Taste and see that the Lord is good…”

As I have been down here at Disney World, it is near impossible to not be distracted by all the sights, glamour, colors, and lights, and in the midst of it all, it can make one feel like they are living a dream, like they have it all. It is a place that can "make your dreams come true"...
But what dreams are those....
No matter how big they make Walt Disney World, no matter how many lights they use, no matter how much entertainment they provide, it will never be able to make you feel complete, to feel satisfied and at peace in life. So if we know that it will not complete us, if we know that it will not satisfy our cravings deep in our souls, then why do we let it and other things try to...
All the glamour and fancy distractions in life just blind us from God. They impair our vision, our hearts and our souls and we are drawn away from God and to ourselves.
