Our world revolves around Jesus. He's the one that we're living towards—the one "with whom we have to do" (Hebrews 5:14)—and He's really the only one who cares about the minutest detail of our life. Moreso than do we.
How does this look when lived out? Surely you've heard of the way the sunflower lives? They track the sun with their heads, following its course as it crosses the sky. Consequently, they hang their heads at night. This is cool, sure. But I'm a human being. A living spirit in a body with thoughts, perceptions and impulses. And each one is a gift to experience. Any one of these, when not brought into subjection—dealt with God's way—will lead me astray. That might sound blunt but it’s true. A little more complex than a sunflower.
Isn't it strange that when you look at the stars in the night sky, there are galaxies that seem brighter in your peripheral vision than when you look at them directly? Whole galaxies vying for your attention. Don't let yourself get distracted. Keep your face to the sun.
One of my favorite passages—a hand-me-down from my dad—is the fifth and sixth verse of the third Proverb. Let’s look at the first part of verse 5 today:
"Trust in the Lord with all of your heart."
What is trust? Who is God? What is my heart and how do I bring it in its entirety to God? The answer: one moment, one thought at a time.
Relax. Each moment we live is a gift from God. If you need to slow down to realize this, by all means do so. God's not going anywhere (at least nowhere that He's not taking you), so ask Him to help you slow down and realize this. Any instance of interaction with God creates trust. You talk to God—and you trust that He'll respond. You pray—and trust that He'll answer. This is mountain shattering, world changing faith—lived out moment by moment, ladies and gentlemen. The more we do this from a motive of love and gratitude, the more of our heart (read: life) will be brought to trust God.
