Who Do You Run To?

I was mad, really mad. If I had been compared to someone of intelligence, I would have been flattered. But to be compared to a gerbil? I left the house and slammed the door. I am not like a gerbil or was I? As I drove to work, I replayed in my mind what I had said to that gerbil. I have everything you need but you keep running elsewhere trying to meet your needs yourself.  

Was that true of myself? Do I ignore God and try to handle life myself when all the Lord wants is to have a relationship with me, to love me, help me and to share in my life. Yes, I have to admit it’s true. I do act like that gerbil when I run around in a panic trying to take care of myself. I find myself too busy to talk to God or read the Bible and all the time, he is saying Come to me, I have everything that you need.
