This is not Home

Psalm 63
O God, you are my God,
earnestly I seek you;
my soul thirsts for you,
my body longs for you,
in a dry and weary land
where there is no water.
2 I have seen you in the sanctuary
and beheld your power and your glory.

3 Because your love is better than life,
my lips will glorify you.

As I sit here and meditate on this Psalm of David many things are going on in my head. The first thing David says, "O God, you are my God" The question I need to ask, who is your God? Is it the tv? The computer? A person? Your kids or your family? Is it money? Your Job? What is it in your life that you put before the only one true and awesome God? The God that formed the heavens and the earth. The God that formed and created you. The God that came to earth and died for you. Does your soul just long for something more? Do you ask yourself everyday, "Man, there's got to be more than this?" I've said it before and I will say it again. I am not sure if living in America is a blessing or a curse. We are to comfortable. We lose sight of God to easy in America. Many times we don't need God until something bad happens in our life then we run to God. I don't ever want to do that. God is to amazing and to awesome to ever do that to. I want to seek Him everyday of my life. My body ackes for Him. My soul thirsts for Him. I want to know everything about my God. Do you ever just stop and look up into the sky and just praise Him for His amazing Glory? A few years ago I remember I couldn't imagine my life without radio. Oh man, my radio career has been so fun and so awesome. It has hardly ever felt like a job. I used to ask myself, "what if God asked me to leave radio?" That question scared me to death. What would I do? I remember I used to convince myself that I would walk away from radio if God asked me to but deep down inside I knew I couldn't do it. Today as I write this I know in my heart of hearts that I would walk away from radio in a second if God called me to something else. If I got fired today I would praise God with all of my heart for the amazing job that he gave me and my family. I have finally realized that this is not my home. THe house I own is not my home. Living on this earth should never feel like home. Home is when I am finally kneeling before my Father in heaven. Today, may we fall on our knees and ask God to forgive us for not making Him the greatest in our life. I pray that we would go out into our jobs today and work as hard as we can as if we were working for the Lord. I also pray that we would love our neighbors and we would seek God with everything we have. With all of our heart, soul, mind and strength. He is worthy and He is Good. Who knows this could be the day that I finally get to see my Father.

I love you Father with all of my heart!
