His Name

As I reflect on my day to day, I am reminded that I do not think upon God all that often. Yes, in the morning when I first get to school He is in my thoughts, but throughout the day in those times when life seems so crazy...well He is not there. I need to make it a point to think upon Him more.

Today I looked at Philippians 2:9-11. It seems to me that Jesus being the name above all names, means that He should be my thoughts. He should be the one that I am running to in my head. Instead of replaying what happened last weekend or thinking about upcoming adventures. I should be completely focusing on Him. For one day every knee will bow. What will I be doing then? I want to be bowing, but I must really concentrate on that in the day to day, second to second.

Isaiah 43:1 talks about Him calling us by His name. We are His. I am His and yet there are so many times that I let that simplicity pass me by. If I truly were His wouldn't I be longing to spend days with Him instead of checking my latest message on facebook, or experiencing checking my email for the thousandth time during the day. I need to spend those extra minutes in His Word. Opening my mind and just truly resting in Him.

Today I know that there may be distractions actually not may but will be. I want to make an efffort to think about Him, to make my being so in tune with God that I do not go today without truly living my life for Him. How amazing would that be?
