ON MY KNEES
Today's reading:  2 Kings 1-5

"She fell at his feet, overwhelmed with gratitude..."  2 Kings 4:37 NLT

I try to listen for God's voice in the pages of Scripture.  I attempt to look for the verses that 'jump' off the pages at me.  I search for things I need, and come to find out they're what a lot of you need, too.  I find points I am convicted on.  I see areas where I need much improvement.

Today?

Today, I see myself in the woman of Shunem and her emotions.

You see, this morning I am lying at God's feet, overwhelmed with my gratitude to Him.

Has He answered all my prayers?  No, I still have a lengthy list.

Has He cured me from all my failings, ailings and imperfections?  Nope.

Has He brought perfection to my life?  No trials?  No temptations?  No troubles?  Nuh-huh!

I'm at His feet, a sobbing, snotty-nosed mess, because He loves me so very much!

I certainly appreciate all He's done for me.  I do.  But to know He loves me?  Me?  Me!

That's why I am overwhelmed with gratitude!
