How would it change your life?

Several months ago I was reading in "The Divine Conspiracy". I came along a passage that I have been pondering over ever since. Last week at church Mike Freeman was taking about being in tune with the heart of God, as David was. (to view sermon go to www.vineyardboise.org) Listening to Mike speak of David in this fashion I was once again reminded of this passage. Here is the excerpt.

Frank Laubach wrote of how, in his personal experiment of moment-by-moment submission to the will of God, the fine texture of his work and life experience was transformed. In January of 1930 he began to cultivate the habit of turning his mind to Christ for one second out of every minute.

After only four weeks he reported, "I feel simply carried along each hour, doing my part in a plan which is far beyond myself. This sense of cooperation with God in little things is what so astonished me, for I never have felt it this way before. I need something, and turn round to find it waiting for me. I must work, to be sure, but there is God working along with me."

From a lonely missionary post in the Philippines, God raised Frank Laubach to the status of Christian world statesman and spokesman for Christ. He founded the World Literacy Crusade, still in operation today, and without any political appointment he was influential on United States foreign policy in the post-World War II years. But he was forever and foremost Christ's man, and always knew that his brilliant ideas and incredible energy and effectiveness derived from his practive of constant conscious interface with God.

I have been pondering for some time now how much my life would change if I could accomplish the great feat of looking to God every 60 seconds. We live in such a distracting world, I find myself asking questions as to how this could be accomplished. Some cases are easy (at least for me) such as driving, cleaning, walking the dog, things when my mind is free to wander. But how do you think of God every 60 seconds when you are watching a movie, reading a book, studying, having a conversation, or intently focusing on a project at work?

And yet the outcome of overcoming these distraction is well worth the effort! How much life would change if I only sought God in ALL THINGS. How much of Him do I miss because my eyes and heart are focused elsewhere? I don't want to miss any part of what God has for this life He has given me.
