A Call to God

Psalm 55:16

But I call to God, and the LORD saves me.

New International Version (NIV)

---

I don't call out to God near enough. I wonder why I don't feel close to him, or don't understand why I'm not sure where he's leading me - maybe it all comes down to this:

Evening, morning and noon
I cry out in distress,
and he hears my voice.

Psalm 55:17 (NIV)

It's not enough to watch the day's go by, and expect to be in tune with God. Just like any relationships, it takes time spent together. Sometimes it's amazing how I can forget, or rather, ignore this...

Am I still seeking?

It's a question I must keep asking, as the longer I'm around, the easier it is for me to forget. Long has passed since the early college days of hours reading my bible and time spent in prayer. Long quiet nights and morning spent just with God, or with a few other brothers and God.

I get flashbacks here and there, glimpses of possible renewal, but always it goes back to the fog of indifference.

That's now how to become Gideon... it's just the quickest path to fading away.

If we've changed before, we can do it again...

' God looks down from heaven
on the sons of men
to see if there are any who understand,
any who seek God.'

Psalm 53:2

New International Version (NIV)
