do you really trust God?

Psalm 25.1-2a To you, O Lord, i lift my soul. O my God, in you i trust;

i found these 2 verses a few seconds ago. they summarize how i am viewing life in 2012. i want to do what pleases God. i want to get high fives, chest bumps, sweet whispers in my heart, mind and soul from God. i want to hear daily, 'this is my beloved daughter in whom I AM well pleased. how can one reach this point? when you desire to improve the level of intimacy you have with Abba. when you make sure each day you say, 'good morning, God,' and just start from there with soaking, prayer, and bible study. its whispering to God throughout the day and talking to God when you get home from work, to unwind. its opening the journal up and recording prayers prayed, prayers answered, advised given by Holy Spirit, and blessings from God. each persons walk with God is unique and special, yet i know that we should each pray...

Lord, i lift up my soul to You. You are the Alpha and the Omega. You are my rear guard. You are the lifter of my head. God, i trust in You with all my heart, mind and soul. and i thank You that You shall continue to perfect that which concerns me. in Jesus' name, amen

do you have time?

i know it is Sunday and I've been resting from a nice worship. maybe i am a little pumped up from an hour of exercise, nevertheless i am on the edge. people i know are complaining that they do not have time to spend with God. i want to say, 'are you kidding me?' how can someone make time to go to work? exercise? spend time with their family? and spend time with their friends? ...yet when there is a discussion of did you do pbs (personal bible study) today? did you sit in God's presence to listen and talk about what you studied and your day? did you attend weekly worship? and bible study or Sunday school? people are like...i am busy. as Christians we should not take advantage of God's grace and mercy. whatever you need for motivation, you need to act on it.

what do you have to do?

do you not appreciate the God who loves you unconditionally?

do you not want to get to know the God in whose image you are created?

do you not want to develop an intimate relationship with God?

do you not want to truly enter in the presence of God at home?

Psalm 34.8 O taste and see that the Lord is good! Happy is the wo/man who takes refuge in God.

God, i want to know You for myself. I am committed daily to spend time with You. God i want to taste and see that You are God. God i want to be happy. I shall take refuge in You. in Jesus' name, amen
