Looking Around

In Psalm 53:2 (TNIV), David sings, "God looks down from heaven on the human race to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God." The Message version of the Bible puts it this way: "God sticks his head out of heaven. He looks around. He's looking for someone not stupid - one man, even, God-expectant, just one God-ready woman."

Are you that one man or woman? There are more than 6,000,000,000 people in this world, but the overwhelming majority of them don't care about God, and have no interest in a relationship with Him. And so God is sticking his head out of heaven, looking around, seeing if there's anyone - even one person - who's also looking for Him.

There aren't a lot of people looking for God these days. People are looking for riches and comfort, but they're not looking for God. And so God sits at the window of heaven, looking down on earth, seeing if there's anyone among the 6,000,000,000 inhabitants here who is looking back at Him, seeking Him out, expecting Him, ready for Him.

Are you that man or woman? If you are, then there's not a lot of others out there like you. If you aren't that man or woman - yet - then start down that road today. Look up to heaven. Seek out God. Build a relationship with Him. He's waiting for you to do so. He's looking down at you. He's waiting to hear from you. He's expecting your call.
