LEARNING FROM A CAT

My wife has a cat.  No it is not that one.  Her

cat is too old and shaggy to admit it is still here.

But the old cat has some attitudes that I should

adopt.  When I step out of the bedroom door in

the morning the cat will be on the other side of 

the door to trip me - I mean meet me.

Then the cat will get under my feet, that is, lead

me to the coffee pot, if I don't stumble over it.

And from there it will come sit at my feet while

I drink coffee - because it wants in my lap.

Like it wants in my lap when I am reading, or

eating or resting. etc., etc., etc.,

In short, the cat wants to be with me while I am

in the house.

WHY AM I NOT THAT WAY WITH

JESUS?

I should want to be with Jesus more than

anything.  What was it that made king

David a favorite with God?

 "But God removed Saul and replaced him 

with David, a man about whom God said, 

‘I have found David son of Jesse, a man 

after my own heart. He will do everything 

I want him to do.’"

(Acts 13:22 NLT)

And what made David a man after his own heart?

David himself said;

"As the deer longs for streams of water, 

so I long for you, O God."

(Psalms 42:1 NLT)

 

And further:

"I lift my hands to you in prayer. 

I thirst for you as parched land 

thirsts for rain."

(Psalms 143:6 NLT)

 If we longed for God like David did, perhaps

He could use us also.
