Oh, God, how I need
you. Every hour I need you.
We are fooling ourselves to think we don’t need God EVERY
HOUR. Every day.
Yes, we need Him in the big events of our lives – like
strength for delivering a baby, help escaping floods after a hurricane, or
protection in the midst of evil.
But we still need Him every hour of what we see as “normal”
days too.
We need Him when we are tempted to eat too much at mealtime.
We need Him when we resent our spouse for something they
did.
We need His help for creativity when we are given that
assignment that we don’t feel qualified to complete.
We need Him when we are sick.
We need Him when we are out driving amongst so many other
personalities – who may be driving in ways we don’t agree with.
We need Him when we sluggishly prepare another meal. When we scrape our wallets for another
home repair.
We need Him when our children hurt our feelings, or when we
feel lonely.
We even need Him in the moments of joy. We need Him to
remind us of where our help comes from, and from whom all blessings flow. We
need Him to keep us humble, thankful, and joyful.
Yes, we need you, Lord. EVERY HOUR we need you.
Let us not forget to
live our moments without you as a part of them. As the LEADER of them.
