Jeremiah 8:8-9:26, Colossians 3:1-17, Psalm 78:32-55, Proverbs 24:27
“The Lord says: Let not the wise man bask in his wisdom, nor the mighty man in his might, nor the rich man in his riches. Let them boast in this alone: That they truly know me and understand that I am the Lord of justice and of righteousness whose love is steadfast; and that I love to be this way.” Jeremiah 9:23-24
Our first and most important purpose for being created was to know the Lord. Everyone desires to know and be known, even the biggest introvert wants to know someone cares. God has no needs per se, I mean, He doesn’t require oxygen, He doesn’t require food, but He does have a want and that want is to be known and appreciated for who He is. Make sure you haven’t just followed a formula, take time to converse with God; ask Him questions, request wisdom, make small talk, or big talk, and wait for an answer because He just wants a relationship like everybody else. God has gotten a lot of bad press through the years because people don’t understand. You be the one to take the time to connect.
PRAYER: My Lord, I so want to know You on that level. Teach me to take time out to spend with You. Be real to me. I want to slow down and listen to what You have to say. I believe…amen.
