"Save me, for I am yours; I have sought out your precepts." -Psalm 119:94
Ben and I were doing our homework for our new Wednesday night group study "How To Study The Bible" and one of the things we were supposed to do was read Psalm 119 and list all the descriptions of Scripture that we found in it. That was great and all, but it was that one little verse above that really struck me hard. Do I really act like I'm God's? I know I am, but how often do I ask Him to save me? Is it just a last ditch effort thing? And when I do, is it the only contact that I ever have with Him?
When I really think about it, I know that I don't act like I'm a child of God often enough. Most of the time, when I pray, I'm usually asking for a favor. It's not bad to ask for things, but I take it so far as to ask for things that I know I'll get things out of, be it something material, or even just a good feeling about myself. I'm quick to say that I would never try to take advantage of a friend, yet I try to take advantage of the Perfect Friend. That thought really makes me sad when I think about it.
Thankfully, I know that no matter how many times I screw this relationship up, I can always try again, and again, and again, and again. Praise God. :D
Starting today, I'm going to spend at least ten minutes every day talking with God, and spending a little more time with Him each day. :) I encourage the reader to either continue doing that, or start! :D
