It has been said in the Bible, God is not in the giant events which announce themselves with thunder and lightening, with bravado and a parade. God does not come with big announcements and great beatings of drums. This is man’s way of making an entrance.

God is in the tiny kindnesses one person gifts to another, that no one notices except the receiver. God is in the favor given to help someone who’s steps through life always require extra effort rather than normal effort. God is in the tap on the shoulder to get us to look up at the same moment that someone is having some trouble, and needs a hand. God is in the breeze that blows across a brow, when taking a hat off a sweating forehead on a hot day. God is watching a humming bird feed. God is in the still, small voice that says, “try one more step, see if it helps” God is in the calm voice that turneth away wrath, God is in the whisper of a wind, God is in the kindness, the comfort, the small act of help, the empathy, the caring, the acknowledgement of a pain or sorrow, and sometimes in the smallest way, sometimes in the quietest way, and again, sometimes with only the receiver (and God) ever noticing it happen.

Like the water at the wedding of Cana, there are times we pour ourselves forth, but also in small ways, and give a drink to someone who says, “I thirst”, and it becomes a small cup of the good wine to the receiver of this help, this consideration, this quiet kindness. God turns us into the miracle.

And maybe we might think of another man, who hung on a cross and said, “I thirst”. This time, we give him the miracle drink, and we pour it forth from our hearts. And Matthew 25:40.

Herein is God. Herein is Christ.
