VERSE:
Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine
ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will
return unto you, saith the LORD of hosts. But ye said, Wherein
shall we return?
-- Malachi 3:7

THOUGHT:
In times of horror and disaster, people routinely ask, "Where is
God in all of this?" Yet we so often leave God at the periphery of
our lives and look for him only when we are desperate and have no
other options. When things are going well, we seldom say, "Where is
God in all of this? Why, he's right here blessing us! Let's praise
him for his goodness!" God pleads with us to turn to him and seek
after him, in good times and in bad. Not only will we find him; he
will return to us and walk with us.
PRAYER:
O God, please forgive us for seeking our own way. We confess
that we have wandered from your ways. Even while the Bible is so
readily available to us, we often squander the opportunity to hear
you speak from the Word. Even when we have so many opportunities to
praise you and pray to you, you sometimes only hear from us when we
have gotten ourselves into insurmountable problems. Father, I
confess that I have let my relationship with you slip and that I
have not pursued your presence in my life as much as I could.
Please be with me and all your Church as we seek you and your
presence daily in our lives! In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
