“I Saw God Today” was released on George Strait’s 2008 certified platinum album Troubadour, winning a Grammy for Best Country Album. It was the first Grammy Award win of his career. Rodney Clawson, Monty Criswell, and Wade Kirby are the songwriters who show all the simple ways we witness God in everyday life.
In discussing the positive response to his song, Strait says, “Sometimes we take a lot of things for granted, especially anybody that’s had a child. When they first see that child — if they’re in the delivery room or not — it truly is a miracle. And you realize that all of these things that God has given us, sometimes you take it for granted. But if you just step back and take a look around, you’ll see what beauty we have around us in the things that He has created for us.”
In the end, our time on this planet is short. With a spirit of thankfulness, I sincerely hope you won't miss out on the everyday good stuff while you’re here.
