Wherever you are–be there.

I came across this thought a while ago and have held it in my heart ever since. It reminds me to live and be in the moments of life I find myself, sans the distractions that try to fill my days.

The cell phone is a daily culprit for keeping me from being there in my moments of life. Often I have found myself on it while ‘visiting’ with a friend, spending time with family, or sometimes out walking the dogs. Really? I ask myself. Just exactly where am I? Truth is I am on my cell phone.

I am allowing that device to steal my moments. Not anymore. It is put out of sight. It will not boss me or the precious times of my day. I will control it, not visa versa.

Wherever you are–be there.

God makes life easier for me. Glory!

He knows my coming, going, when I sit down, when I rise, when I am foolish and when I sin. Nothing is hidden from Him.

So I need not even consider trying to hide. It will not succeed. This makes my life easier to live. I can tell Him all my worries, pains, sorrows, foolishness, and confess my sins. He hears, helps and forgives. Not only that, He carries them and tends to them for me if I leave them at the foot of The Cross. There is no god like Him. Do you know Him?

I want to be like Paul and Silas singing songs to Him in a dark, dank prison cell, confident He hears and cares.

Every “hidden” thing is seen and known by Him. Unlike Dr. Frankenstein who hated his creation, God loves His!

O God You know my foolishness, and my sins are not hidden from You. Psalm 69:5
