Psalm 63:1-2 (NKJV)

O God, You are my God; Early will I seek You; My soul thirsts for You; My flesh longs for You In a dry and thirsty land Where there is no water.  So I have looked for You in the sanctuary, To see Your power and Your glory.

I’m a turkaholic…  Like those that get up at an AA meeting and first must admit to their addiction…  I must admit that I am addicted to calling and hunting wild turkeys.

I’ve often wondered how anyone could spend a week’s vacation and lots of money to go play golf out of state… And then I think about what some of us turkaholics spend to try to outwit a stupid bird with the brain the size of a walnut.

I’m addicted to the rush of calling in a turkey, to hear them gobble from the roost in the predawn morning.  I love it all.

What does it mean to be addicted?  It means that you can’t get along without it.  You have a craving and a longing for it and you will do whatever it takes to get it, it drives you and you want it every second of the day if you can get it.

I long to be addicted like that to my God.  To not be able to get through my day without spending as much time as possible.  I love the relationship that I have and want more, much more.  It drives me.  I publish these devotionals Monday – Friday and on my weekends I feel like I’m missing  something… That something is the special time with the Lord while I read and write.

Are you addicted to a relationship with Christ?  Can you live without Him?  If the answer is “no”, consider what you’re missing.  Our God is the creator of all things.  He’s all-powerful, all-knowing, He’s all-loving.  Of all that we could strive to have in our lives, why would we want anything more than a close relationship with Him.

I got up at 4:00am to meet the morning in the turkey woods.  I plan to meet my Lord there as well.  He’ll be waiting for me.  Will you be meeting him this morning?

Become addicted to Him.
