Think back to travel destinations that you’ve experienced… Where have you traveled chasing tranquility? Can you remember a destination of tranquility where you felt God’s presence? Can you put your finger on an experience from your past where this is the case? Where was it? What were you doing at the time? Who were you traveling with or were you traveling alone?

It’s so interesting, sometimes when you least expect for God to meet you in a place, He does just that! He shows up and reminds us of His power, majesty, glory and grace. It might be in a rainbow after a violent storm or a puff of clouds in a virtually cloudless sky. It could be in an encounter with wildlife that leaves you breathless or a morning sunrise over the ocean that shrouds you in peace. How about ocean snorkeling in depths of amazement surrounded by ocean life abundant!

God is present in our daily lives! We are the ones who are not present to realize this!

WOW! That is a shocking thought, isn’t it! It’s so true though. I am the first to admit that it is shockingly easily to let the momentum of daily life blind me to what is surrounding me. Details of schedules, appointments, and responsibilities pull a curtain blocking our awareness of the big picture of life and why we are on the earth. We were born, set on a path of life, and begin making choices that determine our steps through it.

I recently traveled to Lake Michigan shoreline in Northwest Michigan’s Lower Peninsula. This scene was before me. Not one home or another person in sight. Tranquility descended in the moment and I sat there for a very long time contemplating! I felt compelled to share this place with you. I felt the reassurance and comfort of the Holy Spirit here in this tranquil moment. It was a great reminder to me of who is in control of the earth.

“But ask the animals, and they will teach you,
or the birds in the sky, and they will tell you;
or speak to the earth, and it will teach you,
or let the fish in the sea inform you,
Which of all these does not know
that the hand of the Lord has done this?
In his hand is the life of every creature
and the breath of all mankind.”
Job 12:7-10

As a nation, America is under attack, not just from a virus, but from each other. We, as a people, need to reach out and support one another during this very difficult time. Now is not the time to become divided over social issues. Now is the time to pull together as one to overcome obstacles, as our forefathers were able to set aside their individual agendas and focus on the good of the county over personal wants and needs. We too need to achieve this end goal. The survival of our “ONE NATION UNDER GOD” is in jeopardy if we do not do this.

I ask that you add this to your personal prayer list and pray fervently for our county and it’s leadership. No matter where you travel or where you look for tranquility, God is with you. He is the one to bring you peace of mind and open your eyes. Nature surrounding you can be the vehicle to remind you of this obvious fact.

Travel opportunities afford the traveler the opportunity to experience other cultures, cuisines, adventures, and experiences. God can meet you in a variety of places to comfort and reassure you. When you experience the power and majesty of His creation, perspective can be achieved. His grace, love, forgiveness can open your eyes too! Whether your travel experience includes a majestic waterfall in Hawaii…

…or a mountain stream that you can float down through a YELLOWSTONE ADVENTURE.

or a portaging and paddling canoe WILDERNESS ADVENTURE IN THE BWCA…

or simply soaking up a SUNRISE OR SUNSET…

God is right there present. Talk to Him. Share your yourself with Him from big things to little things and everything in between. Talk to Him like you would your closest confidante. He will meet you every time to patiently hear you. You may not always get the response you want from Him. Some prayers do go unanswered. In hindsight, as we age and look back, some of God’s greatest gifts were those unanswered prayers, right?

Sometimes God charts our path with details falling easily into place or every obstacle possible present to deter us. Do you listen?

I find God present in each travel we take. I always try to take a purposeful moment while traveling to include an INNER STILLNESS QUEST.

I hope you too are able to incorporate tranquility in your travel destination! Where have you felt this connection before? Do you you have your “place” where you are able to connect? Leave me a reply or comment below with your experience or where you have found this connection to God? Where is your “place?”
