My need for the Lord does not come and go.
The longing for Him should not ebb and flow with circumstances.
I must decide that I will be a Liviing Sacrifice and that I will step over the line, volunteering to be a Soldier of The cross and serve Him no matter what. As soon as I make that decision and declare it to Him, I begin to see circumstances differently.
As I scramble away from the things that distract and follow after Him, there are just as many problems. Maybe even more. But I have obeyed and there is room for the Holy Spirit to lead, comfort, advise and reveal.
Things begin to even out, because He is the issue now, not getting it together. Not building a life. Not self-protection.
As I see Him more clearly, I begin to be more like Him, and I want to be with Him more and more. I seek out the richest fellowship I can find. I dig into The Word. I learn to lay down my life for the Brethren.
He becomes so attractive to me that I sing about Him and talk about Him all the time.
He created me to need Him.
I need Thee every hour, most gracious Lord;
No tender voice like Thine can peace afford.
I need Thee every hour, in joy or pain;
Come quickly and abide, or life is in vain.
I need Thee, O I need Thee;
Every hour I need Thee;
O bless me now, my Savior,
I come to Thee.
