Do you ever start the day with good intentions? We invite the Lord into our day; we ask for His grace and mercy and thank Him for all His goodness to us, but then as the day goes by we may get distracted by everything that’s going on and forget the Holy Spirit is there with us in it all! Does that happen to you sometimes?
The Holy Spirit is there just waiting to help, strengthen and be involved but we have to be aware He’s there and ask Him. The enemy subtly distracts us with the busyness of the day and tries to make us forget who we are in Christ and what we have in Him, that God is right there with us to deal with whatever comes.
And yet the Psalmist says we can’t even count how many times a day the Lord is thinking about us, God is very aware of us and how reassuring that is!
Psalm 139:1 says God knows everything that’s happening in our lives, so He’s never taken by surprise. v.5 says He goes ahead of us and His hand of blessing is on our heads. Ephesians 2:10 says He has prepared good things in advance for us to do, that He has a plan and purpose for all our lives, no matter how insignificant we may think we are, and that He will bring to completion whatever He has started in us (Philippians 1:6).
God wants to be involved in everything we do because He loves us and wants to protect and bless us but we need to be sensitive to His Holy Spirit’s promptings. Those times when He tries to warn us but we’re too busy, too upset, too something! But it’s at those very times when we need to tune in and be aware that God is right there with us! He’s right there with you, right now!😊
Lord, help us to be aware of Your presence with us all the time and include You in everything we do. In Jesus name. Amen.
Have a blessed weekend.x😊
