This world is incessantly tugging at our hearts, and that's not by accident. That's by design. We are perpetually in a state of distraction, and when we are distracted, we're usually not remembering how dependent we are on God.
God understands this, and He knows that we frequently need something to pierce the fog, and remind us that on our knees, we will find the help we need.
We need Him. (Exodus 16:2-5)
