Lockdown Day 276 - 27 December 2020
I listened to an update of Amir Tsarfati about happenings in the USA and also Israel and the Middle East. I was once again reminded of how the Word of God should be our director, teacher, corrector and faith builder. How we cannot watch events if the world happen without seeking His perspective.
To actively engage in a relationship with our triune God means to hold Him as our barometer for literally anything in life. A relationship asks 2-way communication and time. God is always there and always available, and believe it or not, speaks to us daily. The reason we struggle to hear is because of our stuff we carry which we allow to interfere.
Imagine your best friend never talks to you or constantly talks over you. I'm afraid this kind of friendship wouldn't last long. There is nothing worse than feeling you're not heard or you try your best but without any reaction. Much like when you give a gift and the recipient isn't excited or never says thank you.
Sometimes I think that's what God gets from us. Sometimes we never talk to Him or babble too much to hear Him talking. I believe very few people really hear Him loud and clear. And as for our gratitude, well, let's just say we suck at it. Big time.
He gave us the greatest gift anyone could ask for, but mankind doesn't see its worth. Jesus chose to lay down His life, so we could live. But do we really get it?
Tonight, as I sit in the cool night air with the night sounds in my ears, I offer up a prayer of repentance for my imperfect soul and a prayer for our 3-in-1 God to inhabit me and teach me of all things Godly. Because I know He's got me and because I know He's got this.
