Relationship With God
Wednesday March 11, 2015


For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your ancestors, but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect. (1 Peter 1:18-19 NIV)
What hinders us experiencing this loving relationship with God? Most often it is our unwillingness to rebuild our system of beliefs on God’s word about His love and ability to guide our life path with great care. We continue to believe that no one cares for us as much as we deserve. We believe we have to manage our own care if we are to have a good life.

We may talk about God’s unconditional love for us but until we actually believe Him and do what His word says, we are only relating facts about Him – facts we don’t completely believe. We will never experience a life-changing relationship with God until we change our behaviour to match his guidance. But don’t just listen to God’s word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves. He leads the humble in doing right, teaching them his way. (James 1:22; Psalm 25:9 NLT)
Today, let’s determine to allow God to teach us His ways and see the difference it will make in our relationship with Him.
