Experience God...........
"Give me understanding and I will obey your instructions; I will
put them into practice with all my heart." Psalm 119:34
There have been many days in a Christian’s journey when God is
reduced to something on a to-do list. Somewhere along the way, we picked up an
unwritten checklist of sorts explaining what "good Christians" are
supposed to do:
Pray. Read your Bible. Go to church. Don’t cuss. Be nice.
Being a rule-follower will leave you feeling that something is
wrong, a feeling of restlessness, reacting with anger, and feeling hollow….going through all the motions, but don’t feel connected to
Jesus. Stop simply reading your Bible because it is a thing on your Christian
checklist. Instead, experience God….Get
to know God.
Look at the words in the Bible as a
love letter….God’s love letter to a broken spirit. A love letter not meant to
simply be read … but a love letter meant to be lived. Read your Bible
with great expectations of connecting more deeply and living more authentically
with God.
