Avoiding the Rollercoaster, Day 15

Only when it’s “needed.” Read Judges chapter 15.

As I read the story of Samson, one thing that becomes very evident is that he only calls upon the Lord when he “needs” him. Most of Samson’s life and actions are certainly along the path that God desires for him, but he doesn’t come to the Lord. He doesn’t seek the Lord. You don’t get the idea that Samson is striving to follow the Lord. He’s just doing what he wants to in these circumstances. Then, he’s only turning to God when he needs him.

Do we seek God all the time, or only when it’s convenient? Are we truly desiring God to be in all of our life, or are we only wanting God to be part when it’s “needed?” If we are going to avoid the rollercoaster, we need God to be part of our life all the time.
