Worship and Our Connection With God
Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010I had the awesome opportunity to connect with some friends and fellow believers last night for a great worship time. We are exploring some ideas for worship and serving in our local community. This experience reminded me once again of the importance of our connection with God.
Without constant communication and worship with God, there is no way to have a vibrant ongoing relationship with the Creator of the Universe. Think about it… If you had a friend that you were with every single day for four years. Constantly doing everything together, you would have a tight bond with that person. But then, you are forced to go different ways and now you are lucky to see them once or twice a year. What happens to that relationship?
You begin to lose that bond, that closeness that you had before. The same is true with God. In the crazy busyness of 21st century life, we can get so caught up in what we think NEEDS to be done that we can lose our focus not just on our earthy relationships but also and more tragically, on our relationship with our heavenly father.
I challenge you for the next 30 days make a conscience effort to reconnect with the God who loves you and has not stopped pursuing you with all his heart. James 4:8 promises… Come near to God and God will come near to you.
Respond today to God’s pursuit of you and your love!
