did you lock it?

I had an interesting thought the other day when I was driving to work. I had one of those moments when I forgot if I locked my door at my house when I left. It was one of those things where you always lock the door before you leave but one day you think you may not have because it almost has become an automatic response to leaving your house, going to your car and driving away. I thought about my relationship to God and how I can have a similar relationship to him. We get so familiar with our actions in interacting with Him that it can just become an automatic response. I don’t think this is a good thing. We should never get to a place with God where we just have “auto responses” to him. I think that our walk with God should always have a level of intentionality behind it. So, the next time you forget if you locked your door or not remember the importance of spending intentional time with God. He always remembers if you spend time with him!
