Daily Devotional – 9/6/11 “Gee-sus!”

Jesus is the name you call when your life is going good.  When all your bills are paid you say Thank you Jesus! When your family & friends are acting right, you say Jesus I love you.  When you got money in the bank, gas in the car, kids getting good grades, husband/wife is loving – you say Jesus I thank you.  When there is no ache in your body, you stand in church whispering Jesus. 

But oh, when all hell breaks loose in your house & God has to bring you back down a notch; you fall on your face screaming Gee-sus, Lord I need you! When there is no food, no gas money, no friends around to call; you stand at the altar on Sunday hollering Gee-sus, Lord have mercy!  When you’ve drank too much and don’t know how you made it home, you cry Gee-sus if you just let me make it through I’ll never drink like that again!  When sickness comes, it’s Gee-sus!  When death hits your family, it’s Gee-sus!  When husband stops coming home; wife won’t act right; it’s Gee-sus!  When job is gone and trouble seems never ending, it’s Gee-sus!  When you’ve tried it all on your own & it’s no longer working, it’s Gee-sus!  When your umbrella can no longer hold off the rain of your storm, it’s Gee-sus!  When you’re drinking tears for water, it’s Gee-sus!  When you pace the floor at night, it’s Gee-sus!

Chile, Jesus isn’t concerned about how you call as long as you do! But you’ve got to call him in the good that way he’ll know your voice when you are calling him in the bad!  Gee-sus or Jesus! Just call him & he’ll show up & show out every time!
