Not everything is as it seems. We see the surface—struggles at work, challenges at home, uncertainty in health. Even the small frustrations of daily life.
But beneath it all, something greater is at work.
Every moment, seen or unseen, God is moving. His hand is guiding, shaping, leading. He is not absent in our difficulties but present within them, operating in ways beyond our understanding.
This doesn’t necessarily change our circumstances. The trials remain, the uncertainties persist. But recognizing His hidden work can change us. It shifts our vision, turns our hearts toward trust, and invites us to walk by faith rather than sight.
As Abandonment to Divine Providence reminds us:
"The duties of each moment are the shadows beneath which hides the divine operation."
Even in the ordinary, God is present. Even in the unnoticed, He is active. What appears small may hold eternal significance in His plan.
