Day 17
A lot of us are reading through the Bible this year. My plan has me in the middle of Exodus, so I’m learning a lot about how to deal with my neighbors’ oxen. I’m also learning a huge lesson: God wants us to live WITH Him, not just FOR Him. The Old Testament is full of rules that may seem outdated and like they don’t apply to us today. However, we have to remember that when God sent us Jesus as the ultimate sacrifice, everything changed. The veil that separated us from directly approaching the presence of God was literally torn in two. We can now go directly to the Father with our needs, fears, and desires. God is with us as a father, counselor, protector, peacemaker, teacher, and so much more.
It’s easy to get wrapped up in working for God—we serve our hearts out, find ways to help others, read our Bibles—but we absolutely must remember to make time to be WITH God. Our relationship with Him is just that—a relationship. He has put each of us here for a purpose to bring glory and honor to His name, and he didn’t just drop us here alone. Through prayer and time with Him, He’ll gladly show us the path He has set for us.
As we prepare to end our 21 days of Prayer and Fasting, I encourage you to make sure you’re spending time WITH God in conversation. You’re not in this life alone.
