Delight in God

Sometimes I get so busy in life that I forget who god really is , and I forget to fear Him, I also forget to delight in Him.  Sometimes the busyness in our lives is sin, it  can keep our focus away from Him.  It is so easy to get wrapped up in the focus of this life of this world, it is easy to get into the rat race of life, and in that race our vision can become so very limited, and we don't see.  We don't see others around us who are lost and have no idea.  We are sometimes not compassionate to others because we have our blinders on and we are just focused on winning our little race.  Busyness, success, making more money, buying a bigger home, having kids involved in lots of activities these are all things that can lead us into the rat race of life.  The actual items listed above are not the cause of the problem and some may have these things in their lives and they have the fear of the Lord and delight in Him, so we cannot judge a person by their activities or their stuff because we don't know their hearts.  These things in life can lead to our distraction from God and lead us down a destructive path and we may not even realize this is happening.  We need to prioritize our time with God and get into His word and pray and worship Him.  We need to be constantly reminded of who we are and who He is.  We are completely surrounded in a world of immorality and of sin and we have it in us.  It is like when someone has cancer and they need to do different things to get rid of their disease well we are the same we need to constantly be taking our chemo and radiation, ( getting in the word of God and praying constantly). When we stop then it can overtake us.  We need to remember to fear God and turn away from evil.  Even in the depths of our minds where it may be private and shielded from the rest of the world but it is not hidden from God and that is who we need to fear, not other humans but God.  We must tell our minds constantly to turn from evil and fear God.  Who is God?  Read job 39 and get a reminder of who He is.  Listen to the song who am I by casting crowns and get a reminder of who He is....and how insignificant we are.   But for some reason we think we are pretty significant!  We are not and we need to remove our blinders get off the racetrack and go for a walk and find a tree and spend time with Him.
