One clear and peaceful Autumn morning on my way to work I stopped at the final red light before turning into the parking lot. Tapping my fingers on the steering wheel I looked at the car beside me as my scattered thoughts swirled around in my head sorting out the velocity of life. Then out of the corner of my eye I catch the scene of falling leaves. I watched one by one as each leaf swirled to the ground as life happened in the backdrop. I tell you, I got caught up and lost in this scene…unplugging from the business of life for a moment.

I then hear this thought whispered to me…”I see all those details.”

God sees these details, imagine that? ….but so often we miss them, the details of life become a blur in the velocity of life. I want to be more intentional about not missing these details, how about you?

God doesn’t miss a thing — he’s alert to good and evil alike. -Proverbs 15:3 (MSG)

So, what did I learn from a falling leaf? …that God sees the details! It is so important to know that God sees us, that He thinks about us, and that our heavenly Father is concerned over even the smallest details in our lives, so live in the moment with Him.

Living life is not about being focused in the past or even on a future. It’s about being in every moment with God and to be ready for whatever God has prescribed for that moment to be.

• First, in my relationship with Him

• Second, as a Father

• Third to God’s people and in accountability to the gifts He has given me to use on this earth

When I can pause long enough to soak this up, its so clear that I need God to do these three things!

What moments in life are you missing out on?

What do you need to be more intentional about?

Do you need God?

Remember, it’s about the journey and the journey is the destination!
