Need Him

I had a lightbulb moment today at church. We were singing "Lord I need You. Oh I need You. every hour I need You..." When it hit me: I need God. .i need Him desperately no matter what I'm going through.

When I have hard times, I'm faced with my need for Him. I not only know I need Him, I know exactly how much I need Him. It's in my face every day. But when I'm normal and happy and life is moving along pretty well, I don't remember that I still need Him. How often do we remember that we need God always? Honestly, I don't really mean those lyrics when life is going fine. I don't feel my need. That doesn't mean it's still there though.

Do we believe we need Him always? We don't think about our need for God when we aren't staring it in the face. Our pride tells God that He doesn't need to bother about us right now. We're good! No worries, God! Go help someone who needs You more.

But we do need Him. Every hour we need Him. Because we cannot stand on our own. Because He is our everything. Even when things are going well, He is our everything.

Shake us up, Lord!
