How you doin? While praying this morning, I was convicted that my relationship with God is the most important thing in life. I can't allow anything I do out weigh my relationship with Him. Nothing that I do, deeds or works, can increase my closeness to Him. Spending time with Him and seeking His face draws me closer. Alone time with Him draws me closer. Deeds and works are a consequence of my intimate relationship with Him. Understanding the Scripture doesn't draw me closer to Him. Knowing and seeking Him gives me understanding. My motives have everything to do with the effect of my actions, devotions, study, prayer, and ability to love others. If I do these things to potion myself in good standing with Him, it goes the opposite way. God wants me to love Him and not perform my way into good standing. I'm not sure why I'm sharing this very personal stuff. It's just how my prayers went this morning.
Job 4 today. You're pretty much on your own with this one. I need to be at work early today so that's it for me. I'm not sure what this chapter is about. Sadly enough I'm out of time and God had something else for me today. Love Him and seek Him today.
