God cares more about what we are doing every moment of the day than we do ourselves.
You know how when you watch a movie, the world and life is forgotten for a time? It is so easy these days to set aside a couple of hours to something in expectation of those hours to be ignored by everyone else in the world and wasted when you do nothing productive during that time. Well, God is always watching us, which can sound unnerving, but maybe it's time we consider how we spend our time. Over half of our lives are spent sleeping and/or living life while not caring to live it more productively. We lack motivation and instead want to self indulge. God, however, waits patiently while we sleep, watch a movie, browse YouTube for hours, etc, and He cares about what we spend our time doing. God takes pleasure in His creation living out what He made it to be, and He is worshiped when we go about our day with Him and His Word in mind. He gave us a command to live for Him, so if you believe in Jesus and if you believe Jesus and what He said, you should also be able to hear what He is saying, which isn't much different now than it was 2K years ago. God promises that if we come to Him with our concerns, and it lines up with His will, He will honor it (John 15:7). The question is, do you want to live for Him?
