Pastor's Perspective - Close Enough
'If you are pleased with me, teach me your ways so I may know you and continue to find favor with you..' - Exodus 33:13a
During my devotional reading yesterday, I found this beautiful little prayer by Moses. In it he expresses a deep heart-felt desire to know God more. Let's face it. He had already experienced the presence of the Lord in ways few every had before him - burning bush, ten plagues, sea dividing, manna from heaven. Yet, for Moses it wasn't enough.
Israel's great lawgiver knew that relationship with the Almighty didn't just happen passively; but that it took humility, intentionality, and an authentic hunger.He knew that if God could be sought, He could be found. In other words, he refused to let the opportunity to know a knowable God slip by!
What are you doing today to know God more?
What are you willing to do this week to press-in and learn His ways?
For you, how close to God is 'close enough'?
