“When my father and my mother forsake me, Then the LORD will take care of me. Teach me Your way, O LORD, And lead me in a smooth path” (Psalm 27:10-11, KJV). Why is it that when life happens to confront us with a challenge we turn to those around us, facebook, twitter, and myspace to express our feelings, to comfort us to make us feel better? Why is it that our hearts want the physical comfort, or the immediate answer rather than the answer that actually would fill the void or bond the hardship. Is God not the healer, the comforter, our blanket of comfort, the peace and protector? Is He not in control of all things and all things at the disgrace of His name?
I am not saying that we should not turn to our family and those who love us to comfort us or to encourage us but rather... We should want to turn to Christ first knowing full well that He is waiting for us. That He is patiently yearning for us to have Him be the center of our focus. I mean doesn't it feel good to know that your best friend comes to you first to talk about what he/she is going through... Don't you think that God feels the same way about us coming to him? James 4:8 encourages, “Draw near to God and He will draw near to you” (NKJV).
So draw near to God in times of need, rejoice, turmoil, celebration,. etc... He wants to be your one and only. He is our portion, and I am His.
