Years ago, my mother was flying back to Maryland from our tiny
Chattanooga airport. As we were walking
to the gate (back in the days when you could walk to the gate) she grabbed my
arm and excitedly said, “That’s Reggie White!”
And with that, my mother walked right up to him and introduced
herself. She pulled out her little
camera and asked if she could get a picture with him. Good-natured Reggie White agreed and stood
up, but my mother had a better idea. She
had my little five-year-old son hold up his small hand in front of Reggie
White’s huge NFL-sized hand, and mom snapped the picture. What a memory! Hey, we have the chance to interact with
someone much more famous than Reggie White every day! We can get out our Bible or get on our knees and
have a personal meeting with the Creator of the Universe. How exciting that should be for us! But all too often, we take it for
granted. Hey, let’s renew our excitement
to meet with God every morning! Read His
words with the thrill that we should have when we come into the presence with our
Maker! Really, really meet with God this
morning! God said in Jeremiah 29:11-14,
“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of
peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Then shall ye call upon
me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. And ye shall
seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. And I
will be found of you, saith the LORD.”
