I believe that God uses our surroundings to teach us things.  You can learn something while being in one environment, or surrounding, and not learn that same lesson while in a different environment.  Tonight I was sitting up on the pool deck (i think it's technically deck 9) reading my bible and asking God to open my eyes to some specific things.  I looked up into the night sky and could just barely see a star.  It occurred to me that right now I can only see that pin point of light.  God has only just barely opened my eyes to a situation.  But I need the  lightening! It lights up the whole sky and you can see, even for just a moment, the clear picture.   Sometimes I feel like the understanding of something is just out of my reach, on the tip of my brain and i can't quite get it. Life can get complicated and confusing but wait for the lightening.
That is my tip of the day: Wait for the lightening.  When it comes it will be bright, undeniably beautiful and you won't be able to miss it!
