How To Approach God

 

Today's verse is 1 Kings 8:23

     And he said,

LORD God of Israel, There is no God like thee, in heaven above, or on earth beneath, who keepest covenant and mercy with thy servants that walk before thee with all their heart: 

    What is the nature of the relationship that God has with his Creation, Man? Is it one that many suppose that God is a talisman, that any of their whim might command to do their very wish? Nay, God is Holy, Righteous, Terrible even, but he is also a God of Mercy, and he has sent up his Covenant, even his promise that anyone who humbles himself (or herself, if you be so triggered) to follow after his way. Although, at times the Particulars of this Covenant have changed, the nature of it have not. Today, if we accept that imperfect and sinful as we are, that we have a propitiation in Jesus Christ, by his substitution of him for us on the Cross, he will enter in, and change us by His Spirit making us acceptable unto him, that we might ask him what we need to accomplish his purpose, and he will hear us, providing not only what we need, but also as his purpose allows, our desires, beyond even that we can imagine. Will you surrender to him Today? Selah [Think on these things.] Amen.

To God be the Glory
