Without Hesitation

The Lord is my portion;

I have promised to keep Your words.

I have sought Your favor with all my heart;

be gracious to me according to Your promise.

I thought about my ways

and turned my steps back to Your decrees.

I hurried, no hesitating to keep Your commands.

Psalm 119:57-60

Our lives have been so busy and crazy lately - jobs, homecoming, exams, kids' sports schedules, Scott's coaching - and the list goes on.  These past several weeks have simply been over the top busy - so much so that I've allowed the pressure cooker of life to dictate my time and resources.  I've allowed outside things to supercede the true priorities in my life.  It's easy to get caught up in the waves of life and get swept away by them. 

Thankfully, God intervened, as He always does when I get carried away.  My devotional passage this morning once again shifted my gaze from the immediate back to the eternal.  God reminded me of my promise to seek Him first and wholeheartedly.  And though I pretty much stunk at my end of the bargain, He was faithful to come through on His end.  When this truth was revealed to my heart this morning, I  ran as hard as I could back to Him - without hesitation, my arms lifted high reaching up towards my heavenly Father! 

And you know what?  He reached down, picked me up into His loving arms, and swung me around - my heart was overflowing with such great joy and love!  As laughter and praise filled the air, my heart was once again made right! 

Run as hard as you can, back to the Lord today, without hesitation.  Make Him your everlasting portion!  Live for Christ today!  He is simply waiting to lift you into His loving arms!

In His Love, Cathy
