Whoooo's Watching You? Who? Who?... Who? Who????
Do you recognize this serious and majestic looking guy? My son came running inside to tell me, "Mommy come look at the owl in the tree." He preceded to tell me "I see him all the time in our trees." Wow, where is my mind when this owl is up in our trees watching me? How many times was I unaware of his presence?
This owl just sat up in the tree for quite sometime. The more I noticed him and the closer I got to him he decided I was paying too much attention to him so he decided to fly away. I was so bummed I didn't get a good shot of him as he took off into the sky. His wing span was large, that would of been a great picture. Oh well, maybe next time.
When I looked at that owl and tried to photograph him, I thought about our Heavenly Father. I thought about how He too sits up in the heavens looking down watching over us as we go throughout our often very busy days and lives. It caused me to stop and wonder just how often am I unaware of His presence in my life? How many times do I rush throughout my days forgetting that He sits and watches over me in ALL that I do. He is also wanting me to notice Him and acknowledge his presence ALWAYS and in ALL things!
He is the opposite of that owl in the sense that the owl flew away when he felt I was noticing him, getting too close and giving him too much attention. Jesus would never attempt to get away from me when I take steps to get closer to Him. He desires for me to be close by Him and He desires me to notice Him. He wants me to know that He is up there watching me at all times, because He loves me and wants to be part of my life!
So as you go throughout your day take the time to remember that your Heavenly Father awaits your attention, your praise and your love! He wants to be a part of your every moment throughout your life! WOW! Isn't that awesome! It is a good reminder that we are never alone! Even during those times when humans tend to let us down, our Jesus never will!
So next time you find yourself feeling lonely and sad take a moment to remember that you have a special and loving friend who is right there by your side, who loves you and cares for you. His name is Jesus, if you belong to Him He promises to never leave you nor forsake you, isn't that such great news?!!! I know it is for me! It helps me to get through those times I thought I wouldn't make it through!
Dearest Lord, I thank you for never leaving me! I thank you for always watching over me and for being part of my life in all that I do! Forgive me for the times I get too busy and may not acknowledge you as much as I should! I want my children to know you and be aware of you with each step of their lives! Continue to teach me how to give them at awareness! And for those who do not know you I pray you will reach down and make yourself known to them as you have done in my life so many times! In Jesus name I pray, Amen~
Blessings and Hugs to you all! Don't forget to always be looking up!
