Wow! Life can take so many twists and turns, sometimes it is hard to stay focused on what is important in life.
This past week has been a struggle for me. I lost track of my priorities, and it was like falling down a hill and not being able to grab a hold on to anything, but before I hit the bottom of the hill, Jesus reached out to me and grabbed me by the hand and said, "Hang onto Me!"
I cannot help but give Him thanks and honor and glory for His faithfulness in my life. It is so easy to walk away from Him, and not realize you have done it. Have you ever been in the store shopping with your spouse or a friend, and realized you were standing alone? Thank God, He is actually right there all the time. We panic, and twist and turn and then realize He is right behind us all the time. He never left, but we have turned from Him.
Today He reminded me that He is there, always. Now I have to admit, I didn't walk away and fall into sin, but let my mind get so caught up in the daily living and doing and being, that even though I was still active in study and prayer, I lost sight of the One who matters, the One who cares and The Only One who is important.
It is so important for us to focus on Him, His Word, our relationship with Him. We let the fact that we cannot see Him in physical form, keep us from seeing Him otherwise. Now maybe this doesn't make sense to you, but to me it does. I love to hold my husbands hand, or have him hug me close. It is only natural that we desire these things, because of the body we live in. We relate to touch, sight, smell, feelings. Because God and Christ are Spirit beings we have trouble relating to them. We also are a Spirit being, and we have to practice living in the Spirit. One day that is how we will live, but today we have to adjust to speaking, seeking and living as Spiritual beings.
Now, I hope I have made sense to you. And I hope you will follow me on my journey. I know my posts have been few and far too much time between. But I will attempt to make them more often. So if you want you can follow me through my life with God and Christ, and maybe find a way to walk in yours too.
