Who do you Love?

I turned on the bathwater and walked in with my laptop, 3 books, my bible, a piece of paper with bible verses and 2 pens – all in preparation of spending time with God. I sat in the tub with my itunes on shuffle and relaxed to music. I read chapters of each book, thinking and praying about them. A growing excitement over each book blossomed in me as I was coming to an end of the introductory chapters which were explaining the scholarly preparations and the mindset going into the work I was about to discover. When the author has to spend more than 5 pages on his intentions of writing the book, I know it’s gunna be good, even if I disagree with it.

Then I stopped and began praying. My itunes shuffled from a worship song to George Thorogood and the Destroyers “Who do you love?” and happily I exclaimed “You! I love you, Lord!”

I’m sometimes dim, I guess. But I was forced to ask what do I value? Do I value learning over spending time with him? Do I need outside influences to spend time with God? Why are they there? Forced now into a corner with a need to turn off the itunes and put away the books and then just in silence, spend time with God.
