Where are You??

I was at the commissary the other day and I was laughing at a little girl talking to herself while looking at the different candies and food. She was giggling and having a great time, but then she looked up and realized that her mom wasn't there anymore and it was amazing to hear how quickly her tone changed. "Mom, mommy, I can't see you, where are you?" She was just short enough to be hidden behind a row of boxes, and her mom was listening to her the whole time and knew where she was but wasn't alarmed until she also heard her daughters voice change.
This reminded me of going to the stores with my sister and her kids and what she always tells them, "If I can't see you, you are too far." She has kept her kids very aware of the dangers around them.

Then this got me thinking of my spiritual life and how easy it is to be distracted by the things of the world. When I'm not focusing on the Lord, I can go on for a while talking to myself and giggling before I look up and realize I have lost sight of my Father in heaven.
Scriptures tell us that we are continually in a spiritual battle, and it's during these times of misguided focus that we loose sight on Satan sliding in to try and pull us away from the Lord. He has given his word and kept us aware of the dangers that are around, but if we can't see Him then we have gone too far. But just like this little girl, if we look up and realize that we can't see Him, then all we have to do is call out to Him and look because He sees us and hears our voice.

Don't be afraid to call out to your Father if you have lost sight...."Dad, Daddy, I can't see you" and He will answer.
