Out of sight, Out of mind

Out of sight, out of mind.

So many people live this way.  Does that mean that they refuse God?  He is out of sight.  Do we only see Him when we are at church?  When we see a cross?  Or when, perhaps, someone asks us to pray for a loved one? 

Here's another question, do you really take the time out to pray for that loved one?  Or is it just an automatic reply?  Do you stop that moment, no matter what you are doing and say a prayer?  Or again, out of sight, out of mind.  You mean well.  I find myself jotting down peoples names or a note, that means nothing to someone who sees it, but to me it is a reminder.  Pray for them.

We don't see Satan, yet we believe in his works more than The Lord's work.  Why is that?  Is it really easier to believe and follow the bad, than to follow the word of the Bible.  Again, both are out of sight, but perhaps not out of mind.

This phrase has been in my mind a lot lately, and a lot over the last 5-6 years.  I see fatherless children, out of sight, out of mind.  I see brothers and sisters, not communicating.  Out of sight, out of mind.  Or maybe it's a split second thought and you chose to push it away.   Maybe you really have good intentions.
Best friends....Women seem to be more out of sight, but never out of mind. 
Grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, these are the people of your life that have been there, that make you who you are.

Let's go back to God and try to remember to focus more on the out of sight.  Remember to pray for those you casually say 'I'll say a prayer for you and your family.'  Keep at the forefront of your mind who the great Creator is, and He is in your sights, if only you will just be quiet, be still you will hear Him telling you how to do His work.  You will hear what He is asking of you.

I think perhaps we should all be more aware of our minds, not our sights.
