Well on the last day of the year I was reading in Acts 17:27-28 which says, “His purpose was for the nations to seek after God and perhaps feel their way toward Him and find Him - though He is not far from any one of us. For in Him we live and move and exist. As some of your own poets have said, ‘we are His offspring!”
This really made me think of how important my desire to talk and hear God is. He is right here but He wants us to make the effort to seek Him. When we make an effort we are showing Him our love for Him and when we ask for wisdom He responds to our request. It’s not about having to do it; it’s about wanting to do it. When we surrender and go to Him we really can grow and we understand what it says in verse 28 “For in Him we live and move and exist…” We should do nothing without going to the Father and having a heart to heart then following what we hear by living to glorify Him. We must show Him our desire to change and be born new in His Son Jesus learning and obeying what the Spirit shows us. Amen
