Have you ever searched for a friend in a crowded gathering? Sometimes, we scan right past the person as we look farther and farther away. It’s easy to miss what’s right in front of you when you’re expecting to find it somewhere else. The same thing happened to the prophet Samuel, to the religious leaders in the first century, and even today it can be hard to see what God is doing right in front of us. We need Jesus to open up our eyes to what God is doing in the world.
