Seeker


Funny how some people will do anything to get their fix. Responding to medical calls puts firefighters, paramedics, and police officers in the path of all sorts of drug addicted people we call "seekers." 
I ran on one today. This person was pretty slick--not sick and if it weren't for some paramedics that have dealt with this person, I would have thought the complaint was sincere.
What if we sought peace in our lives with the same vigor the seekers seek drugs? How important is our relationship with Jesus? Are we willing to do anything to get a Jesus fix?
Emergency services can wear even the strongest out when we don't get our daily dose of the "peace of God, which transcends all understanding, [which] will guard your minds in Christ Jesus," (Phil 4:7 ).  Are you a peace seeker? Have you had your fix?
