Day 4 Listen :: 2019 FMF 31 Days Writing Challenge :: Going With God

​What happens to us when we get to know someone intimately? We begin to tune our senses to their presence. Our eyes search the room for their face. Our ears tune into their frequency to pick up their voice. We sidle up next to them just to feel the warmth of their body next to ours. The closer we are to a person the closer we want to be.

The same principles of closeness apply when we are going with God.

Seek the face of God. There you find His Grace.

Seek to hear His voice. In it you will know His heart.

Seek to draw close to Him. As you do, He will draw close to you.

Our relationship with God is one that grows and deepens over time.

It is not without difficulty, because we will always be contending for the Spirit as we rebuke our flesh and the desires it wants. Every step of the way, God is there giving us strength and power to overcome anything that would defeat us and keep us from Him. The same power that raised Christ from the dead is the power that works within us.

So hear and take heart that God is speaking, calling, drawing us to Himself.

Maintain a sight line to the things that delight the Lord.

Quiet the noise in your own heart so you can hear Truth that will set you free.

Allow Him access to the places in your life YOU don’t even want to visit.
​His desire is for your good and your release.
 
Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, who has loved us and given us eternal comfort and good hope by grace, comfort and strengthen your hearts in every good work and word. 2 Thessalonians 2:16-17(NASB)
