Journey asks Michael Knight: How do you encounter God in your field of work?


A YOUNG child went walking with her dad in a forest.

As some children do, she wandered off without the adults noticing. Creating obvious panic he searched in vain, calling in everyone to help. Night fall descended and the search had to be called off.

Before first light the dad was back in the forest searching for his little daughter. He came across a clearing, in the middle of which was a large rock which his daughter had climbed onto and slept upon that night. She awoke to the sound of someone rushing towards her.

Upon seeing it was her dad she jumped to her feet and exclaimed with joy as she stood on the rock, “Daddy I found you!”

During my day-to-day work, I see not so much me encountering God but the discovery that God is always there and I am waking up to his presence and his revelation of himself to me.
