"James, do you spend time in the word everyday?"  That was asked by my dad as he sat in my office at home.  I just looked at him, I was speechless.  "Where in the world did that come from", I thought to myself.  I simply gave him a generic answer, "not as much as I should."

My life is surrounded by a Godly inheritance.  My grandparents use to pick us up from school and the first thing they would do for my brother and I as we drove out of the parking lot was pray for us.  My great grandmother passed away reading the Bible, it was found on her chest as she lied in peace.  I remember when my grandfather passed away a few years after my grandmother had passed, he was lying in bed and my dad told him that he was about to see mom in heaven, he smiled and passed away. 

Now I ask myself the question, do I spend time in the word everyday?  I look back and wonder what happend to the days of longing for Him.  Dont' get me wrong, I love to read the bible , I love to worship and spend time with my God.  But where is my urgency?  I was encouraged tonight in Psalm 132.  David swore an oath to the Lord and made a vow to the might of of Jacob: "I will not enter my house or go to bed - I will allow no sleep to my eyes, no slumber to my eyelids, till I find a place for the Lord, a dwelling for the Mighty one of Jacob."

My God is a searchable God! He is longing to spend time with us, in missions, in personal life, in church, in family, and everywhere else. 

Lord I love you!
