We Are Called to Enjoy God
We need to get comfortable with God. I don't mean we should be
disrespectful, but that we don't have to be afraid of Him. In fact, I
believe that the high call of every believer's life is to enjoy God. We
are called to enjoy the Father because He is life and all life comes
from Him, so we can't truly enjoy life if we don't enjoy God.
Sometimes we don't enjoy God's presence because we get all wrapped up in
serving Him, discovering what gifts we have, and spending all our time
working at our ministry. This happened to me. About five years into my
ministry, God had to make me hit the brakes because I had become so
proud of the work I was doing for Him that I was no longer enjoying Him.
We have to be careful when we start getting proud of ourselves because
of all the things we're doing. That's not what God's after. As our
Father, God wants us to know and enjoy Him.
So let me ask you, are you proud of your works today? Or are you truly enjoying God?
Prayer Starter: Father God, I want to enjoy You. Fellowshipping with You
and being in Your presence is so wonderful. I lay aside my pride and
humble myself before you so that I can find my purpose and joy in You
alone.
