Heartburn

As I sit in church trying not to think, but to just listen to God. I hear the distant thunder rolling and rumbling. And it reminds me of a big upset stomach, someone with heartburn. Then I think maybe it’s God’s stomach. I suspect I’m the cause of His heartburn and upset stomach. The way I act. Yes…That would do it.

I know He is supposed to be my one and only God. But I still like to admire my “golden calf”, my “stuff” it’s like a security blanket, a false security blanket. But still I can’t seem to put it down.

When will I learn? Why am I so “stiff necked”? I don’t need that.

Jesus, You have shown me the way, left me the word.

Please, Lord Jesus, I pray You give me the spiritual maturity to follow Your example and the courage to leave my false gods and false security blankets behind, for You are the only security and all the comfort I will ever need.

Amen.
