Yesterday was a long day stuck inside...because I don't get out much when it is below 30 degrees and wind chills that make your bones cold. I had gone through periods of productivity, but had also found myself doing a lot of scrolling on facebook, ebay, and other mindless sites on my phone. The evening rolled around and I picked up my phone without even giving it a thought to scroll once more, as if I were a robot programmed to do this every hour. In that moment I really think God snapped his fingers to get me out of my almost hypnotized state. I reflected on truly what I was searching for in all this aimless scrolling and came up with this: I have a desire to track what is going on around me, but I was filling this with other people's pictures and stories. God instantly redirected my thinking to a reflection on what HE was doing in the lives of people around me, and thought, He is comforting close friends of mine that are mourning, He is setting up divine appointments at a coffee shop, He is providing for my Mom, He has blessed my children with talents that they are using for his glory, He answered prayers for protection, He is growing my church family, He "posted" a beautiful image of deer in my icy backyard at sunset, and the list goes on and on and on. My point if I haven't made it yet is to resolve to care more about what God is doing than anything else. May my brain start being more programmed to want to see what God is up to than what anyone else is up to and "My mouth will tell of your righteous acts, of you deeds of salvation all the day, for their number is past my knowledge." (Psalm 71:15-16) We need to train our eyes and our minds to seek The Lord and scroll through the endless list of the things he has done and continues to accomplish in the our life and the lives around us.
