Borrowed from Beth Moore ~ Breaking Free, Day by Day.
When my sweet daddy had a stroke, I rode with him in the ambulance. The paramedics were wonderful and, although I appreciated what they did in our period of crisis, we didn't trade phone numbers or plan to have lunch.
Sometimes we approach God the same way. He gets us through an emergency, and we appreciate it. But we don't necessarily stay in close touch once the trouble passes. It is not during crisis, however, that we develop an appreciation for God's presence. Pure appreciation for His presence emerges from the daily walk, in the mundane more than the miraculous.
Happy are the people who know the joyful shout: Lord, they walk in the light of Your presence. Psalm 89:15
Isn't it amazing that we know exactly who to run to when tragedy strikes? If only it were so automatic to run to Him when things are going well. He wants us ANYTIME!
