Today i read Proverbs 2. This is not the first time i have read it.
After reading(...more like skimming through) the passage. i went to close my Bible. i was done reading for the day. But then i paused...
yea, Jesus wanted more than 2mins of my time.
i went back(in the most lagging way possible), and reread the chapter. but this time... i turned the chapter into a first person perspective.
oh boy. Jesus was speaking to ME. The Bible is not just to simply skim through and hope that some fortune cookie wisdom pops out. This Bible...its personal. Full of stories, full of life. and God intended for it to be a way to dive deeper into who He is.
these are the moments when i feel His intimacy.
Intimacy...a word so foreign to me yet i have grown up learning my whole life. Glad i serve a patient God , because i have much much learning to do. Now i am seeing that when i ask "God, let me draw closer to you." or "God-i long to fall in love with you more." this is really me seeking God's intimacy but not throughly understanding what i am asking.
so today as i go about another day at Moody, i will try be aware of God's intimacy around me. How that looks, i have no idea. no idea. But i figure if i am looking to Him and being willing to grow...He will take care of the rest. Psh-God is all-powerful...He is present and intimate. i just need to be looking.
This learning, is all part of the journey.
