I recently discovered, thanks to Pastor Justin's blog, StuffChristiansLike.com. It's fanfreakingtastic. Not only is this website hilarious, but it's also surprisingly serious. Today he wrote a scenario on how his 3 yr old daughter thinks that if she can't see you that you can't see her. Then he related it to God, and how we can tend to think that if God is out of sight out of mind for us, that it's the same for Him. Yet, the reality is that God sees us 24/7. He knows every little bit about us and what we do, and even when we don't have Him in mind. I think as christians struggling to live in a selfish & perverse world, that it is easy for us to take on that mindset of out of sight out of mind. It takes a portion of the guilt away, of course we always come back to that saying that God never leaves us.
Can you imagine what it must be like for God? Helloooo?? "Hi, um I don't know if you remember, but I'm God, you know, I created you and stuff.. Hiii, Hello? Oh, yes crying. You would remember now." His creation has been playing this game since the beginning. Eve in the garden; I can't imagine her being conscious of the fact that God was watching what she was choosing over Him. Moses, after God telling Him a countless # of times that He was with him, let fear blind his vision.
I've been thinking alot today about altars. Remember when God would command His people to build altars where He had helped them, so that they would remember the greatness of their God? I think that is at least a help to our little big problem here. Whether it be sticky notes or writing on the hand or anything, make something to remind yourself of something great God's done in your life. Put it somewhere you will see it, and when you do. Praise Him. Remember that He has always pulled us out of our troubled times and will continue to do so.
13 For you created my inmost being;you knit me together in my mother's womb. 14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. 15 My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, 16 your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. 17 How precious to [b] me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them! 18 Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand. When I awake, I am still with you. Psalm 139:13-18
