“He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him” Psalm 91:15
The reality of life with Christ is recognizing He is alive and taking Him out of the context of a storybook or biblical character. He wants to be significant in your life today.
To develop a close relationship with Christ it is vital to inquire of Him everyday of your life. This is the essence of faith. You are not trusting yourself for wisdom and direction; you are seeking out God who has power and dominion over all things.
You and I compromise the truths of God when we act out of self and deny the reality of Christ. This action will always lead to sin, destruction and misery. Many times you and I unconsciously replace God with self. This happens because we are not abiding in God.
It is most important to dwell with God and seek out His beauty. You do this through prayer, living in His Word, and listening for His voice. Without taking these steps, it is like the blind leading the blind.
The beauty of God is His perfect love, wisdom, strength, and protection. God wants to be the strength of your life. Jesus is a man of all seasons! He arises to the occasion!
When troubles arrive seek out God and reject worldly solutions. God responds in times of trouble to hide you under His canopy and protect you.
The virtue of God comes to those who wait on the Lord and asks for His strength and courage to meet the challenges of life.
There is no one like Him!
