I love going to the lakefront near where I live and to get there I take a short cut down a narrow two way road, with incredible views of the lake. I often pass by bicyclists and joggers taking a detour to escape the busy traffic from the main highway. Sometimes I pass by this old man who looks to be in his nineties wearing a tank top shirt with blue jeans and walking at a brisk pace. The guys in amazing shape for his age, you can tell he used to work out back in the day. I can only hope I will be that healthy when I’m his age. But what’s fascinating about this man is every time I would slowly pass him by in my car, he would always lift his right arm and wave. I would then wave back as I passed him by. At first I thought it was just me, but when I looked back in my rear view mirror, I realized he did that to every vehicle that passed him by. It didn’t matter what type of vehicle, how fast they were driving, young or old, whether they waved back or not, this old man was not going to let you get passed him without a wave. And it got me thinking about our God. Like the old man, there isn’t a day that goes by where He is not waving at His creation. Scriptures say in Psalm 19:1, “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.” Everyday God waves at us, whether it’s a beautiful sunset, a majestic mountain, or an act of kindness a human being displays to another, God waves. But sometimes we fail to acknowledge God trying to get our attention in this. We get so caught up in trying to get to our destinations we often forget to wave back. But what God wants so much is to let us know He notices us. We mean so much to Him. He noticed our unformed body, from the moment we were born till now and He has been waving at us ever since. From the cross to the grave , He waves at us, from the moment we were born again and received His Holy Spirit, He waves at us. The question is what will be our response? So the next time we head down the highway of our rushed lives and we see God in a tank top shirt with blue jeans walking down the side of the road, and He waves at us, why don’t we take the moment to slow down our vehicles, roll down the window and wave back. Remember, even if you don’t wave back, He will never stop waving at you.
