As a child, have you ever played the game Where’s Waldo? Maybe you played it as a child or maybe you have a grandchild that you have played it with. Either way, most of us have found ourselves playing this game on more than one occasion in our lives.
The purpose of the game is to look throughout a massive group of people and find the guy we all call Waldo. He is usually dressed up in some form of clothing that sets Him apart in the crowd. We find ourselves looking at page after page for Waldo amidst large numbers of people doing random things in life. Whether its on the busy beach, the packed mall, the crazy carnival, or the intense movie theater, Waldo is there and its our job to find Him.
This paints the perfect picture of our day to day with the Lord. Did you know that the Lord is constantly looking all over the world for someone who has a heart that is strong towards Him? Check out 2nd Chronicles 16:9 in the NLT. It says “ The eyes of the Lord search the whole earth in order to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to Him.”
God is looking for you. He has always been looking for you and will always be looking for you! He wants to show Himself strong on your behalf today! Essentially, God is playing an eternal game of Where’s Waldo. All day, everyday. Accept for Him, it doesn’t just stop at Waldo. He is playing where’s Brenda? Where’s Jonathon? Where’s Michael? Where’s Justina? Where’s Sarah?….Well you get the picture. He knows the name of every human on this planet and is inserting it behind where’s.
Truth be told, He is looking for you in the busyness of the crowds. He wants to use you to demonstrate His strength to the lost. Whether it’s a beach, mall, carnival, car dealership, gas station, or razorbacks game, He is looking for you. You stand out in the crowd and you have caught His eye.
Today, know this. He is looking for you. You have caught His eye and He is pleased with what He sees. Make the decision to follow Him. He will use you to reach the world.
