The God Who Is Waiting - # 2

Psalms 17 continues in that vein. The Psalmist, in a prayer to God, says "Show me your strong love in wonderful ways, O Savior..." God DID show His strong love for us by sending his only Son to die on the cross for our sins, in our place, on the cross. Jesus DOES show his strong love for us daily by being our advocate before God. The Bible says that He is constantly making intercession to the Father on our behalf.

Filled with the Holy Spirit the writer of Psalms penned his response to the God who loves us. He wrote "But as for me, my contentment is not in wealth but in seeing you and knowing all is well between us." The most important thing to the writer was not the pursuit of wealth or earthly distractions but the pursuit of a relationship with the Creator of the universe.

On average we are granted between 70 and 80 years on this earth. Those who have given their lives to Christ will spend eternity with God. Yet, we spend so little time pursuing that relationship!
