Finding God in the Midst of Chaos
Are you tired of feeling guilty about not spending enough time with God? You’re not alone. Many of us struggle to balance our busy lives with our desire to deepen our relationship with Him. But what if I told you that the solution isn’t about carving out more time in your schedule, but rather about shifting your perspective?
A Continual Awareness of God
The Bible offers us a glimpse into the lives of people who managed to stay connected with God despite their hectic lives. Take King David, for example. He was a ruler, a warrior, and yet, he wrote, “I have set the Lord always before me” (Psalm 16:8 NIV). How did he do it? By cultivating a continual awareness of God’s presence in his life.
Paying Attention to God
I once saw a sign that read, “Your God is what you pay attention to.” This simple phrase holds profound truth. We can pay attention to God while doing everything else. It’s about doing everything for God and seeing God in everything we do. Whether we’re in the boardroom, the exercise room, or the living room, we can bring God into our daily activities.
Worship as a Frame of Mind
Worship isn’t just something we do on Sundays or during devotions. It’s a frame of mind that always has God in the picture. When we’re aware of His presence, our daily tasks become acts of worship. We don’t need church or Bible study to remind us about God; we can be reminded of Him in every moment.
Bringinging God into Our Daily Lives
So, how can we cultivate this awareness of God’s presence? By making a conscious effort to set the Lord always before us. By doing so, we can transform our daily routines into opportunities to worship and connect with Him. We can pray while we work, give thanks while we eat, and seek guidance while we make decisions.
A New Perspective
The next time you feel guilty about not spending enough time with God, remember that it’s not about finding more time, but about shifting your focus. By paying attention to God in everything you do, you can deepen your relationship with Him, even in the midst of chaos.
