His Faithfulness.

But for me it is good to be near God;

I have made the Lord God my refuge,

that I may tell of all your works.

            PSALM 73:28

Tonight was hard.
But God tells me it is good to be NEAR Him.
Despite the fact that I dont feel like I really got to get deep in the word, it was good to be obedient.

I struggle with that sin a lot.
The sin of disobedience.
It is my biggest area of need with God.
He calls me away from fellowship and society more often than it may look on the outside.
But more times than I am wanting to admit I choose what will bring me satisfaction.

I think there is a song that describes plainly the importance of listening to God in this area.
Something along the lines of "if your not there I don't wanna be either..."
MAYBE?
I could easily be butchering that song.
But it really paints the picture of just BEING one with Christ.

Why would I ever want to be anywhere HE is not?
And yes, I understand that God is EVERYWHERE.
But what if God wants me home alone with HIM on a night where everyone I love is gathering?
Is it really worth being there...when He is wanting to meet me in the quiet of my home?

I am forever falling into suit with pursuing the "GODLY" looking desires of the flesh and I know I am not alone.
But as ALL SONS AND DAUGHTERS describes it "HE HAS CALLED ME HIGHER".
And His call is the only one I am supposed to walk in.

The temptation to do what looks innocent but goes against what God is commanding us in the conviction of our hearts is never as gratifying as it may have been in HIS will...

He is faithful though even when we are not...

I don't quite remember when I started this post but boy does it ring true today.
