Hang On

I am still amazed at how fast time is going. I blaze through weeks like they are minutes. My "to do list" is not getting smaller. I look at "what I will get done this week" and cannot imagine what things will look like a year from now. My list grows daily and while I do get somethings checked of the list, two take it's place. In the midst of racing time, I remind myself (and you) to listen to the still small voice inside. God will seldom if ever shout at us. If we do not wait in His presence and shove other thoughts out of our focus we will live our lives tending to "to do lists" and missing the most fulfilling relationship we can ever have. Even taking time regularly to "listen for God's direction" we still can go weeks without "feeling" like we heard from Him. God gave us a "conscious" to help us navigate life. This must be refined by His Word. Don't rely on anything that is not "sanctified" (set apart for Him) because we get tainted daily with our own desires, corruption and counterfeits that compete for time and attention.
Set a regular time to sit with the Lord. Begin by thanking Him for loving you and being faithful to you, even if you can't see evidence. Worship Him in song and praise. Ask Him for guidance and wisdom about what He wants you to do and finally give Him your burdens and ask Him to involve Himself in your issues. We are like a vapor on this earth, here today and gone shortly. Make sure your life and legacy count. Focus on God and your family; then friends and job. Our lives will end one day, make sure you will look back over it and be glad you left some things undone on your "to do list" but used all the direction He provided you on a daily basis. Nothing can compete with a life that is filled with "God moments"; make time for one right now!
