Day 20:: Inquiring

Soundtrack: "Come and Listen" by David Crowder* Band

I talked with God about some pretty serious attachments tonight and one thing I realized is that I often make these unhealthy attachments at emotionally vulnerable times. For instance, when I am feeling insecure, I become susceptible to attachments that artificially "fulfill" that insecurity. When I am feeling restless, bored, or insignificant, I attach myself to things that will give me a temporary sense of worth or purpose. Obviously, if I talked to God about any of these things in the first place, my focus would be reset, my vision would be clear, and my attachment would be primarily to Christ.

I loved the challenge today to INQUIRE of God. It really implies that we just don't know ANYTHING (which is true) until we humble ourselves enough to ASK the one who does. I definitely need to make a habit of coming to God for His thoughts, instead of being so quick always to share my own. Out of humility, I need to care what God says more than the world. I long to be so closely connected to Christ that I attach myself to only things that reflect Him.

You are our God of wisdom and grace.
