Trail Mix - 6.21.19

June 21, 2019 – “One of our favorite hymns speaks of our constant need for Jesus, “I need thee, oh I need thee, every hour I need the…” Friend, do not be like those who only seek Him when they are in a crisis, but make it your goal to walk with Him daily whether through the valley or on the mountaintop. You will need Him in the furnace like the Hebrew children and you will need Him in times of fruitfulness to remind you not to be presumptuous. Seek Him early and often! S. E. Trail

My prayer for you today is for a heart filled with a desire to be in His presence, to sit at His feet like Mary of Bethany who chose the “better part!”

Psalms 9:10 And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee. KJV

“Tim Hansel in his book "When I Relax I feel Guilty," writes some insights of what most people want from God. "I would like to buy $3.00 worth of God, please. Not enough to explode my soul or disturb my sleep, but just enough to equal a cup of warm milk or a snooze in the sunshine. I don't want enough of Him to make me love a black man or pick beets with a migrant. I want ecstasy, not transformation; I want the warmth of the womb, not a new birth. I want a pound of the Eternal in a paper sack. I would like to buy $3.00 worth of God, please." If we would be totally honest, the idea of transformation really scares us. That is because we know that such a radical change would be quite uncomfortable. We realize that with transformation comes a major overhaul of our lives and priorities.”
