Practice the presence of God

Lately, I have learned to love "The Office." Each week I am amazed at how this office of co-workers can behave in such strange and embarrassing ways -- especially when they know they are on camera. What idiots - don't you know the whole world is watching?

As odd as the characters behavior is on the Office, it seems most of us act much the same way. I mean God is watching each and everything we do yet we still act like idiots. Shouldn't the presence of the father mean something to us? Shouldn't we be altering our behavior more often? It seems that many believe that being a Christian is about heaven and to get there we will 'put up' with a meddling God. We see the Father as an inconvenince, someone who crimps our style but the reward is worth the hassel.

IF you look in the bible, God's presence is a blessing. He looks out for us, protects us, keeps our feet on paths that are worthy of taking. The presence of God each day is a gift we need to recognize and embrace. This week, become aware of the eyes of the Father and try to let that thought saturate your day. Look at the world from a fully loved perspective - and trust that God (who never sleeps or slumbers) can handle the tough stuff. (Even if we do not understand each situation.)

Have a great week and know that I am praying for all of my family and Portage Dave friends.
