It's Been a Long Time...

It's been quite a while since I updated my blog (thank you, de Ann, for nudging me along)...It's not that I haven't felt God's presence lately, not that He isn't actively at work in and around me, not that His guiding arm hasn't been felt...it's that I haven't taken the time to acknowledge Him. Oh, I recognize His activity and send off a quick "thank you" or feel a moment of gratitude. But I don't sit with Him and meditate on His goodness and wisdom.

As I recognized this pattern over the last few months, I remembered God's word in Proverbs 3:6..."in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight". As I think about that scripture, I believe God is calling me to think deeply about Him, not to reflect superficially and then move on with my life unchanged and unaffected by my encounter with Him. Clearly, God is calling us to a different, deeper walk in His presence. Then, all of the details of our life can take their rightful place...following God's direction for our lives, not leading and consuming our focus. I pray that I am ready to move this from words on my blog into action!
