But the Lord desires our all. He doesn't want to be second, in fact, He won't stand to be second. He desires that we desire Him. Let's learn some valuable lessons from the Israelites who had a tendency to walk the other way from the Lord, which is something that I am very good at doing easily if I am not careful. God is a just God, which at times is hard to swallow, but His jealousy for us is not to be messed with. He loves us, He died for us, He chases after us...He is good and what He gives is good...why do we want anything else? Why, when we could have His living water, do we want to drink from another well? Oh the ugliness of sin and the brokenness in our hearts and yet, He...God, does not leave us. In fact, to deal with our sin and brokenness, He gave us Jesus. Redeemer! Healer! Savior! Our rescue has come! Look to Jesus friends...look to Jesus!!!
O that God would make me more lively and vigorous in grace, for his own glory! - David Brainerd
