Intimacy with God means pursuing God more than anything else in your life.
Intimacy with God is better than the best pleasure of this world. It's better to seek God intimately than seek sexual desire. Do we desire God and are we content with desiring God. We have to give up everything in order to attain this relationship with our Creator. What are we saying that we want in life and if we are saying we want God, are we pursuing that desire?We do not have the power to love God. We can only love Him through His help. He helps us love Him and others.
When we increase the value of something then we increase its importance.
-Francis Chan
Psalm 8:1-4 Stresses the importance of His name and His brilliance.
Praise = Strength in these verses. He has chose the weak to shame the strong.
To have faith like a child.
God gives Satan time to tempt us in order to give God more glory when we deny the evil of this world. We silence Satan when we choose God of any temptation of this world. This life is about knowing and being with God. Our pursuit needs to be God and God alone.
The greatest pursuit is the pursuit for God. The greatest intimacy is the intimacy with God. To be intimate and pursue someone in your life means for both of you to pursue God and become intimate with God together. To truly pray with someone is to give your heart and soul, the deepest part of yourself, to that person. The full openness of prayer with someone is the most difficult thing to overcome.
How many people in a relationship with one another actual spend time with God together? My guess is not that many because of all the hurt and turmoil in relationships. To reach a level of intimacy that is beyond physical desires is to pursue intimacy with God. It is intimacy that shows us what the desires of God are for our lives. People like Abraham, Moses, Elijah, David, and Paul were in a constant pursuit of God and had such an intimate relationship with God. This relationship was more than just praying to, it was more than staring openly in the sky, it was about conversations with God.
Have you ever had a conversation with God? Have you ever heard is audible voice in a whisper? Have you ever seen the brilliance of who He is? Are you pursuing this intimacy with God or are you just devoting sometime to Him who created you? What do you truthfully in your heart desire? Would you give up everything, house, wife, children, car, computer, phone, job, easy life to pursue Him? What does it mean to pursue God?
Pursuit of anything without God is meaningless and is not God's will for our life.
Pursuit begins with acknowledging the importance of that in your life.
