It is often when I am so busy that I am not thinking "reflectively" on my life and on what God is doing... that is never a good thing, even though I could very well be busy doing good things!
O God, you are my God! I long for you! My soul thirsts for you, my flesh yearns for you, in a dry and parched land where there is no water... experiencing your loyal love is better than life itself, my lips will praise you. For this reason I will praise you while I live; in your name I will lift up my hands. As if with choice meat you satisfy my soul. My mouth joyfully praises you, whenever I remember you on my bed, and think about you during the nighttime hours. Psalm 63:1-6
God is more pleasurable than life itself... not even mentioning the fact that He is more pleasurable than the deceitful pleasures of sin in our lives! But one of the key phrases in this passages was "whenever I remember you on my bed"... Oh, how important is it for us to be constantly reflecting on God: who He is and what He is doing and how we can trust and know Him more and more!
I look forward to the day in eternity when I can actually do this perfectly... until then I trust in God's grace and mercy day by day to continue to help me grow and mature in Him until the day I see Him face to face!
