Who are you Tracking?
I assure you and most solemnly say to you, whoever does not receive and welcome the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it at all.” Mark 10:15, AMP
Our daughter arrived at our home for a visit with our grandson. While she unpacked the car I took the baby and was talking with him. I noticed that the whole time she was taking things out of the car, her son was tracking his mom’s every move. I was trying to get his attention, but he was focused on seeing where his mother was going. It was to the point that he was trying to turn his whole body. We all laughed at how much he was tracking her and started trying to do other things to get him distracted.
Later that evening, the Holy Spirit said to me, “Do you track God like that? Are you focused on his very move? What does it take to get you off track?” I thought about it and I knew I could do better. My mind went to the Bible verse above with the focus on the part that said, come to the Kingdom of God like a child. This little baby who was barely two months old would not let us distract him from his mom. I thought about how when our grandson felt something was wrong, he cries out for his mom. He did not look to anyone else, he just focused on her. He cried to his answer and he kept his eyes on his answer until help came.
God showed me that if we could just be like that in everything, our life would be so much easier. We could always live in a place of peace and have the joy of the Lord in our heart. Scripture says that “Before they call I will answer; while they are still speaking I will hear Isaiah 65:24. Instead we look around and try to fix the problem ourselves before we come to him.
God has taught me that he wants to be involved in every aspect or our lives. Listen, I ask him what to wear when I get up in the morning. I ask him how to respond to my husband. I ask him how to say, “Hello” and how to answer the phone. God has told us to seek him first; that is on everything single thing. He did not tell us to depend on ourselves. However, when it is something that we do everyday, we think we can handle it. So, we do not ask him. God wants our attention and to rely on him for every single thing in our life. He already has everything worked out. He holds our future in his hands!
I want to encourage you to be just like a baby with God. I want to encourage you to be just like our grandson. Track God for everything! He is “the answer” and he answers! Hallelujah!
