Lately we have had dragonfly’s flying around our back yard. These amazing iridescent insects symbolize wisdom, change, transformation, and adaptability. The best part, they eat hundreds of mosquitos. Of course not only do I welcome them for their beauty and what they symbolize, but also for what they eat.

As they fly around my back door, I am reminded of this verse from Proverbs 8:34; “Blessed are those who listen to me, watching daily at my doors, waiting at my doorway.” On Sundays we might wait at God’s door when we go to church. We may wait at His door at a midweek Bible study. But do we daily wait at God’s door? ‬‬I’d like to say yes I do during my morning devotion. Sometimes it is rushed because I overslept. Or maybe I am just going through the motions listing my wants and not really sitting and waiting in His presence.

Yet blessed are those who wait at His door. I encourage us all on this Spiritual Sunday and throughout the week to actually visualize us waiting at His door. Take a moment to listen and watch for Him. And if you happen to see a dragonfly, take a moment to enjoy God’s beauty. Thank God for providing little God Winks like dragonfly’s to bring His word to life.
