Watching God

Our eyes make the world come alive. Colors, tremendous sights, and beauty attract our eyes and make them smile. However, when asked about you will someone say "their eyes were watching God?"

Watching God is more than going to church every Sunday or Wednesday. When you watch God, you truly believe in HIS power and depend on him for everything. You step out on faith and receive results. You make HIM the center of your life. I have just one question... Are you watching God?

Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Hebrews 12:2

Be Satisfied

I want _________.
(fill in the blank)
If only _________.
(fill in the blank)


Life can be dominated by our "I wants" and "If onlys". I have wanted certain things to happen in my life. However we must obey what God wants, or His will, for our lives. We can't focus on the things that we want to change about our lives or the things that we want. Instead we can be satisfied with what we have. The tragedy in Haiti is one example of how everything can be stripped from you in an instant.

I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little.
Philippians 4:12

Keep your glasses on!

I wear contacts/glasses and when I go to sleep without them, my vision is blurry. I have a clock that is visible from my bed. I can see the green outlining and of course I know its there, but I can't see what time it is. God is our clock. He gives us the "time", which is the guidance we need and purpose we long for. We all know that God is there, but if we can't see the time, we can't receive what God wants to tell us. God has given us glasses (Jesus goggles) so that we can see and receive Him. However, it is left up to us to put them on and keep them on.
