Stuck in My Head

This morning I have a thought stuck in my head that is a reminder of a wonderful weekend with the Summit Students at Nexus Project!

Clayton King made a wonderful comment during his message on Saturday.  He said (and I'm paraphrasing here) that if God cannot trust you with the small things that he places before you, how will he ever be able to trust you with the big things?  This is really sticking out in my mind today because it is a great reminder how even the ordinary things in our lives are ordained by God to grow us, stretch us, teach us, and prepare us for what is to come.  Often times, it is easy to focus on the future, the "one day" thoughts, and forget about the present minute that we are living in.  Francesca Battistelli's song, "This is the Stuff," is coming to mind as I write this and think about all of the "teachable moments" God gives me each day.  This also goes back to the idea of un-compartmentalizing our lives, giving God every minute, every second, every breath, and making it all for his glory.  How easy it is to forget this in the midst of life's craziness!  It is my prayer this week that we move into a deeper relationship with God and meditate on the truth of his goodness and mercy... in all of life's situations.  Let's not wait for tomorrow to come!
