I tell you, it is so easy to get caught up in every day life that we forget to connect with God. I mean truly connect, more than an occasional passing thought here and there.
We are tired, we are busy, our minds are full of things to do and figure out. It is so easy to let all of that push God right out of our thoughts. I often find myself weary, so worn thin I cannot reach those deeper thoughts. And yet we are called to encounter Him everyday and live for Him in every detail of our lives.
We are called to do all things for Him...the sweeping, the laundry, teaching our kids and running to the grocery store. Our conversations should be for His glory and every circumstance a chance to gain a glimpse of Him and His power, providence or love.
I need to find a way to quiet myself before Him each morning and just sit with Him. I want to clear my mind of my to-do list and agenda for the day and simply be with Him, the King of Glory, my Savior, my Redeemer, my God. I want to experience Him before I start my day and fill up with worship and praise of who He is...gain perspective of my life before I live it anew.
I want to step forth in a mindset of seeing Him in the details of my day and allowing Him to guide my every word and action. Lofty goals, indeed, but something worth aiming for, knowing I myself can do nothing, but through Him all things are possible.
Through my foggy brain or high speed thoughts, I want to connect with my God and make Him King. King of my day and King of my life. This is my desire. Help me Lord, in this endeavor!
