I need to realize something as I live my life day by day, moment by moment, second by second: His presence and thoughts of me are always there.
Psalms 139:2-4 (ESV):
You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from afar.
You search out my path and my lying down and are acquainted with all my ways.
Even before a word is on my tongue, behold, O LORD, you know it altogether.
Where are my thoughts? Are they totally about Him? No, not by a long shot!
Sometimes hours go by before I conscientiously think of my Heavenly Father. Obviously, many of us have secular jobs that occupy our time and thoughts, but I am finding out that there are many times I could be speaking in tongues, or praising Him and thanking Him for His Son.
He is always everywhere having us in His thoughts.
Psalms 139:17-18 (KJV):
How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!
If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.
There is one thing I am not going to do and one thing I am going to do. First, I am not going to allow the devil to influence me to feel condemned in what I am not doing. Next, I am going to recognize His presence more by speaking in tongues more, praising Him and being thankful for His Son more. My life can now only get better!
God is good... all the time!
