Passionate Pursuit of God

Passionate Pursuit of God

This morning I was reminded of a connection between the Old Testament and New Testament. You see, we are told to seek God as we would for a hidden treasure. This is not just some casual browsing, don’t you agree? This is an intentional and passionate pursuit of God like our life would depend on it. And it does, especially when looking from the eternal perspective, doesn’t it? My son, if you will receive my wordsAnd treasure my commandments within…

I Seek the Shelter of God’s Wings

I Seek the Shelter of God’s Wings

There’s just something special about hearing the Word spoken to you, don’t you think? That’s why I sometimes read the Bible out loud to myself. I need to hear it, reading is not just quite enough. Today I started reading Psalm 61 out loud and just hearing the title of the Psalm “I seek the shelter of your wings” touched my heart. At that moment I had come home: under the shelter of God’s wings. When I heard these words…

Hide-and-Seek with God?

Hide-and-Seek with God?

Do you ever wonder if God is playing hide-and-seek with you? Even if it does feel like it sometimes, God does not play games with us. Not even hide-and-seek. Or maybe it is you who is hiding from God? Let me tell you, hiding from God does not work either. This world does not give much attention to things eternal and invisible. It is unfashionable, uncool, and extremely odd to be interested in God. But I am with C.S. Lewis:…

Seeking the Real Life

Seeking the Real Life

Today I’ve been touched by two, very short Bible passages. They affirm my dedication to seek God and all the good things in life. This life style does not leave me short-changed. This life style leads into the real life. And not just any kind of life – but glorious life! Whoever goes hunting for what is right and kind     finds life itself—glorious life! (Proverbs 21:21, MSG,*) We are to build ourselves up in Christ and by doing so we…

Nothing Better than the Love of God

Nothing Better than the Love of God

Do you know how wide, how long, how high, and how deep God’s love is? I hope you, at least, have had a glimpse of it. Even a glimpse of God’s love will knock your socks off. There’s nothing like it. And there’s nothing better. Don’t take my word for it. Read what David wrote in one of his psalms: 3 Your unfailing love is better than life itself;     how I praise you! 4 I will praise you as long as I…

Getting to Know God

Getting to Know God

Getting to know God takes a lifetime. But the journey is wonderful. How to go about it? By knocking, asking, and seeking. They are ways to get to know God. How do we then knock, ask, and seek? Let’s find out. The important thing to know is that we all do fail in our pursuit of God once in a while. But the secret is persistence. When we consistently keep on knocking (entering into the presence of God), seeking (cultivating…

Devote Your Heart to God!

Devote Your Heart to God!

What is God whispering to you this new year? Has he given you a word, a phrase, a verse? Would you, please, share with us what God is doing in your life? The word God has given me is DEVOTION. I feel called to devote my heart and mind to God. Not just theoretically but enthusiastically. We have an awesome God but too often we don’t really spend time in his presence. We have an almighty God but too often…
