Mommy where are we going? I once heard a little girl ask this question of her mother. Its not an uncommon question but one that truly stands out now. The meeting had gone on for 2 and a half hours. Jenise had played with all the other children who’d tagged along with their mom, dad or grandma. They’d had a blast. Laughing at almost nothing, chasing each other until they got caught and had to stop, colored pictures, used apps on phones and watched YouTube. But she really wanted to know. Where were they going now? They had repeated this routine many times before and the exasperated mom turned the questioning back to her. “Well, it’s dark now that our meeting is over. Every week we leave from here and where do we go Jenise?” The little girl answered,” Home? Yes, we are going home. It was the obvious answer to anyone standing around. It was late, she was little and most of us were doing the same thing. But this conversation got me to thinking. In this innocent exchange I felt a pulling inside. We are constantly on the go. Never a dull moment. We go to bed anticipating the next thing and don’t sleep well contemplating it all night long. We lay out clothes if we are lucky so we are halfway prepared for what’s to come but we still end up running all day long. And just as Jenise was starting to enjoy herself, just as she thought she could relax, it was over. Just like that it was time to go. Time to pick up and move on to the next thing to do. Our lives have been so full of the To do list that we haven’t really Ta Done anything. Other than waist energy, time, gas and space. I wouldn’t say that we never do anything important. We do but sometimes it’s just time to sit still. Listen for a while. Do nothing for a while. Allow your thoughts to invade your spaces without cutting them off to go somewhere. Let some things go. Turn inward. Look upward. Allow your thoughts to saturate your entire mind and body so you can see exactly what you are Supposed to do next.
Psalms 46:10 “Be still and know that I am God! I will be honored by every nation. I will be honored throughout the world.”
God has our attention now doesn’t he? He said that he would be honored by every nation and throughout the world. Amazing huh?
Where are you going?
