Day 11
Point to ponder: God wants to be my best friend.

Verse to consider: " Friendship with God is reserved for those who reverence him." Ps 25: 14a(LB) "Knowing and loving God is our greatest privilege, and being known and loved is God's greatest pleasure. God says, ' If any want to boast, they should boast that they know and understand me... these are the things that please me.' Jer.9:24" (p.87) It's pretty awesome that God wants to be included in every aspect of our lives, no matter what we're doing. Most of my human friends aren't that involved with me. I mean I can call them when I feel like it ( with in reason, No in the middle of the night kind of stuff ya know). But they don't want to spend every waking moment with me and vise versa. We would probably go batty and get on each others nerves after a few days maybe even hours. (LOL) But you now if I wake up at three o'clock in the morning I can call on God and he's there to listen and be with me. He's the one friend I can count on to do what's best for me in every situation no matter how low I sink. Through thick and thin. No death to part us. I can always with out a shadow of doubt count on Him. He's the best friend in the universe to have.Although I'm not the fest friend in the world to Him. How often I've let Him down is Innumerable. And He still loves me. He never leaves me. Not to mean any disrespect But it reminds me a dog,what we call man's best friend. ( Wow even the relationship between man and dog can be a reflection of one aspect of Gods love for us. How cool s that.)
Did you find the Little warning on p.89? " Pray as often as possible so it is rooted deep in your heart. Just be sure that your motive is to honor God, not control him" How often have I tried to control God? It's like I let him drive but I'm in the back seat telling Him how to do it. We don't tolerate back seat drivers when we're driving a car, Why become one when God driving our lives? It's back to the trust issue isn't it. Do I really trust God to do what's best for me? Or not?

Question to consider: What can I do to remind myself to think about God and talk to Him more often throughout the day?
