Stay Focused on God
Not long ago there was a meteor shower. Normally, I don’t stay up for those despite the fact that I LOVE gazing at the stars. Well, this night was different. I couldn’t sleep… Maybe I had a Dr Pepper too late in the day, I have no idea, but I remembered the meteors, so I made my way outside.
I looked up and watched. Every time I saw a meteor I got so excited! It made me want to keep looking- to be able to see the whole sky at once! I didn’t even want to blink afraid I might miss one of those brilliant lights shoot across the sky.
A Special Gift from God
Have you ever seen a shooting star or meteor shower? It is as if God shared a special gift with you with every streak of light. It is one of those things that makes you feel so small staring out into the universe. I couldn’t help but think about God and how amazing he is. Just look at what he has created!!!
I eventually went back to bed, but I couldn’t fall asleep because I knew I was missing something spectacular outside. I don’t know about you, but I seem to have my most profound thoughts when I am trying to fall asleep.
Don’t Blink
As I pondered the wonders and excitement I felt watching and waiting for those flashes of light across the sky, I had the very strong feeling I should be watching for God the same way… everyday!! Can you imagine the wonders we would see if we were so focused on God that we didn’t want to blink because we might miss something amazing?
It was such a great thought, that I haven’t been able to shake it. Is it possible to be that focused on God? I challenge you to try.
Imagine a life that is so aware of being surrounded by God’s miracles and blessings.
Stay focused on God, my friend… Don’t look away!!
I love these thoughts! I love your words! I love it when I take time to focus on God, focus on those I love and their well being, focus on what really matters in this life. It’s at those moments when I know we are truly loved by our Savior and all seems right in the world. Thank you for reminding me.
The analogy really stuck with me… I mulled over it for quite a while… I am glad that it spoke to you as well.
