Seacoast Easter…

I could go into all the details but our Executive Pastor Geoff Surratt did a way better job than I would ever do.

“Daddy Watch!”

My daughter Ella is in this great phase right now. Her favorite thing to do is anything that’ll get my attention. She’ll always say “daddy watch” and then do some type of dance move or make a funny face. We have a laugh and about 30 seconds later we repeat the process. Nothing about this annoys me…I love every second, even after the 15th time in 10 minutes. The other night God hit me with something…

Do we live a life that we would say to Him…”Daddy watch!”?

2 Chronicles 16:9 says “For the eyes of The Lord move to and fro throughout the earth that He may strongly support those whose heart is completely His.” God is searching for men and woman who will leverage it ALL to advance His kingdom. When He finds those people? Strong support from the Creator of the Universe!!! Not a bad deal huh? So, what’s our problem?

Let’s be honest, do you live a life that you would run into the eyesight of the Lord? As He is searching the earth would you run out waving your hands saying “God it’s me!! My heart is strong for You, my life is pure and solid for You!!!” Or, would you run and hide behind a rock? If I’m going to be honest…right now I’d probably go to run into His eyesight, second guess myself, and turn and hide. I don’t want to love Jesus that way. I don’t want to minister the Gospel always second guessing myself. I want to live a life that I am always asking my daddy to watch.

This is a gut check for me…how about you?
