So
yesterday was one of those days. I got busy and by the end of the day, I
realized that I had forgotten to pray. I had great intentions. I was up early, had
my first cup of coffee and then got busy, not bad stuff, just with things that
needed to be accomplished. I was behind
on some house chores, and I needed to fix my lunch. I talked with my new neighbor, and on and on
it went, all good stuff. However…
Now
I commune with God through the day; we spend time together. I would not go long into the day without
turning to my creator and giving my thinks. But yesterday did not start the
same way. I missed that time with God, and every time I miss that morning
opportunity I lose a vital link in my life. Here is the key. Everyday should
start out with time devoted to God.
Here
is the great thing about God. He did not miss the opportunity to think about
me. I am convinced through scripture that God was thinking about me when I
awoke. He was thinking about me when I
was working; He was thinking about me at meal times; and He was thinking about
me when I was sleeping. God has directed Himself to think about me, and the
good news is that He is thinking about you as well.
I
love how Psalms 139 describes how God is always thinking about us. The very
first verse says this, “You have searched me, Lord, and you know me.” I challenge you to read through
the remainder of this chapter and discover for yourself this God who is
continually thinking about you.
So back to yesterday, I got busy but
God was constant. I forgot to pray in the morning; God was walking with me
throughout the day. I felt out of sorts; God was calling to remind me He was in
control. I need to remind myself that I should never be too busy not to pray.
So here is a prayer that I want to
share with you today…
Father God, I thank you that when I am too busy, you are
still waiting to hear from me. I am thankful that you offer me the opportunity to
come to you whenever, and you are always ready and
willing to hear from me. I am thankful that you think of me and that you are
always thinking of me. Help me to always think about you as well. Amen.
