Keeping your eye on Christ

The other day Seth brought Naomi to a graduation party. While they were there Naomi was playing with a another little girl. They were having a great time when Naomi all of a sudden started to cry. She tried to get comfort from her little friend but she was not interested in helping Naomi. However Naomi was trying and trying to hug her and be held but instead she was just pushed away. What Naomi didn't realize was that Seth was sitting near by ready and waiting to comfort her.

I can be very similar at times in my relationship with God. I get so focused on what I am doing that I can loose sight of Him. I will trust myself and make my own plans without going to my father for guidance or not being willing to wait for his timing. I will worry or get anxious about things that He can and will take care of. I get caught up in the tasks or the relationships and forget to spend time talking to God to really see where He is working and how I can join Him. And then when something goes wrong I will turn to other things or other people to help and comfort me. However the world will always let me down. But my heavenly father is just standing there, the whole time, waiting for me to come to Him so that He can hold me in his arms.

I need to regularly remind myself...He has a perfect plan and perfect timing (It can be so easy to loose sight of that) We are called to lean on Him, to cast our anxieties on Him, and to let our requests be made known to Him. He's got this, why try to take His job?
