Out Of Orbit

August 4, 2010

I still find it amazing that we can launch probes into deep space. But think of how wasteful it would be if on the way to Mars our probe got caught in the gravitational pull of a lesser, insignificant object. Beware! That might be happening in our lives.

When Jesus called His disciples to follow Him, He meant for them to begin a journey to passionately pursue Him. Followers of Christ have been launched into a trajectory that is defined by drawing closer and closer to Him. But in the process, we are often distracted and succumb to the gravitational pull of lesser, alluring things. When that happens, we cease our pursuit of Him and go into orbit around stuff that in the end is empty and unsatisfying.

Psalm 63 is the cure for lives stuck in orbit. David pursued God, knowing that He alone could satisfy his inner longings because His “lovingkindness is better than life” (v.3). The joy of God’s presence consumed every moment: “When I remember You on my bed, I meditate on You in the night watches” (v.6). David understood that true joy and purpose come not in admiring God from a safe distance, but from chasing hard after Him.

Let’s get back on track and pursue an increasingly closer walk with God!

To walk in fellowship with Christ
And sense His love so deep and true
Brings to the soul its highest joy
As nothing in this world can do. —D. De Haan

The closer you walk with God, the less room for anything to come between.

Read: Psalm 63

O God, You are my God; early will I seek You; my soul thirsts for You; my flesh longs for You in a dry and thirsty land where there is no water. —Psalm 63:1

Bible in a year:
Psalms 66-67; Romans 7

Well, there you were right after I checked out last night. Thanks for the info on the CD. I think I will order one. I love the Jewish cadence in music. Why don't you send me all of the 4K pictures?

When Roy gets back from vacation, I'm ordering my pictures of you and PowerBaby and the family. I love the ones he took of you. The hat was awesome. I wish you had taken it with you. If you would like to have it, I will send it to you for your birthday (since I already gave you your birthday gift).

Sweetie, you will never know how wonderful it was to finally get to hug you and look into your eyes and see "you". You are more special than you will ever know.

Happy Wednesday, Yorkie!

M, the problem is: how do we get people to dig into Shemitta and realize how important it is? I may have to loan my copy to a certain young man who is interning as a county agent and will likely become our county agent in the future. He has to read it to please me. He owes me. LOL.

[WVNan]
