Remember HIM

Today as I was working I was reflecting on how good God has been to me. I was listening to 104.3 a Christian radio station and as I was wondering where God was leading me and I felt God say "why do you only think about(remember) me when it fits into your schedule". That really hit me... Why do I only remember HIM when it is convenient? Why can't I think of HIM while I'm doing all things? I often wonder how different life would be for me if I could tap into the "Holy Spirit" during all aspects of my day. Can you imagine if while you were driving and instead of being so upset at the person in front of you because they are driving impaired, to say it nicely, you could tap into what the Holy Spirit wanted you to do and/or say. Or if you were in line at the store and the cashier who is way too slow for you, I wonder what the Holy Spirit would say during those times? I wonder if in the heat of battle with my wife, kids, family, etc. If I would tap into the Holy Spirit. I wonder how that would effect everyone around me.

That brings me to my life question, my book title if I were ever to write one "What If". I often wonder what if.... I wonder when I step out in faith and it doesn't work out like I want it and instead of trying to find God in it I find disappointment. What if I looked for God in those moments? I wonder how much more God would honor that. But on the flip side what if I would have never gone out with my wife? I would no doubt be lost... When I think about all the joy in my life it is because God blessed me with an amazing women and beautiful healthy kid's and IF I would have never gone on that first date who knows, I'm sure I wouldn't be the man I am today. God was all over our relationship, I didn't know it then but as I look back I see it.

If I went back and changed one little thing in my life I wouldn't be where I am today. It is very easy to what if it.... I am learning to let go of my disappointments and my mistakes. It's hard, but I'm trying to what if my future moments. What if I can find the Holy Spirit in all things, all of my decisions, in my work, in my parenting, during the good and bad, etc. I'm not saying it will make it perfect because I (we) am not perfect. If I could keep my eyes fixed on Jesus in my decisions HE would honor that.

I received a word from a friend about three years ago that I see almost daily, it says "You can't go wrong when you decisions pursue HIM".

Lord help me pursue you in everything I do. Amen.
