FINDING INTIMACY=IN GOD!

 

FINDING INTIMACY IN GOD!

 

Obviously=we don’t know

EVERYONE in this world

 

Or even our country=our state

And MAYBE=even

All of our neighbors

 

But God KNOWS everyone

Of us=in this world=INTIMATELY

He knows all of us

And he knows=EVERYTHING about us

 

“O Lord…….

With all my WAYS-you are FAMILIAR”                                                                                    Psalm 139:1;3

 

The question is

DO WE KNOW GOD?

FINDING INTIMACY IN GOD!

 

There are those=in our lives

WHO KNOW US=very much

Our family=extended family=

And friends

 

We NEED PEOPLE

Who SHARE in our experiences

Of life

Who share in our history

 

People who are FAMILIAR

With our BLESSINGS

And even our shortcomings

 

Yet=they still like us

Even love us

 

FINDING INTIMACY

With family and friends=but more importantly

Finding intimacy=with our God

FINDING INTIMACY IN GOD!

 

“He says

‘Be still=AND KNOW

I am God

 

I will be exalted=among the nations

I will be exalted=In the earth’”                                                                                              Psalm 46:10

 

“Do not boast=about tomorrow

For you=DO NOT KNOW

What a day may bring”                                                                                                          Proverbs 27:1

 

“I am the good shepherd

I KNOW my sheep=and

My sheep KNOW ME-------

 

Just as the Father=KNOWS ME

And I KNOW the Father--------

And I lay down=my life

For the sheep”                                                                                                                      John 10:14

 

The AUTHOR of Psalm 139

Knows intimacy=with God

And he wants us

To KNOW that intimacy too

Just as Jesus does

FINDING INTIMACY=IN GOD!

 

Dear Lord=we pray

You are FAMILIAR

With all of our ways

 

Help us to BECOME

More familiar=

With your WAYS too Lord

 

“ALL THE WAYS

Of the Lord=are loving

And faithful

 

Toward those=

Who keep the demands=of the covenant”                                                                          Psalm 25:10

 

Dear Lord=we THANK YOU

For loving us=DESPITE KNOWING

All of our ways

 

Help us to become MORE FAMILIAR

With your ways too=as you continue

TO LOVE US

FINING INTIMACY=IN GOD!

 

In Jesus’ name=and in the name=of OUR ALWAYS LOVING=Holy Father God!
