Our thoughts are many and they are frequent. We engage in various types of thinking throughout the day.
Thoughts of the morning rush: How am I going to pay this creditor today? Can my child not get out of bed on time at least one day this year? I wonder if my boss will approve of my presentation. I really need the promotion and the raise to go with it. I hope no one else takes credit for my work today.
Thoughts of the midday: I must leave work by 5pm to get the kids from daycare and not be charged for extra time. Wait, what are we having for dinner tonight? I don't think I can keep up this diet any longer. I wish she would stop bombarding us with her jewelry catalogs at lunch every day. How can I advance at work and get my boss to notice me? Maybe I'll stay late tonight and really put forth an effort.
Thoughts of the evening: Figured out dinner, now I need to get all the lunches ready for tomorrow. Maybe I'll just give the kids money and they can buy their lunch. This house is a mess. I need to go to bed. Oh that's right, we promised each other we would spend time watching one of our favorite movies tonight. I hope work goes better tomorrow -- I'm just sick over the whole thing.
In the midst of our day, we will likely at some point feel pressure, uncertainty, stress, worry, or on the flip-side we may be fully enjoying all that life seems to be offering us right now without a care in the world. Whatever your circumstances might be at the present -- Where is God? Do you intentionally make Him part of your thoughts and by extension, part of your life? After all--
Rest assured -- intentionally focusing on Who God Is in the midst of your day will be life changing!

It is He who made the earth by His power,
Who established the world by His wisdom;
And by His understanding He has stretched out the heavens.
