| Well since the purpose of this weblogging thing for me is to discuss the book "The Pursuit of God" by AIDEN W. Tozer..I am not off to a good start. I had started reading the book and misplaced it over the weekned. It was a prettty chaotic weekend for me, I know I have it but where? There was something I read in the first chapter.. he talked about how in our country there is almost no emphasis put on seeking God on our own. He mentioned how churches provide so much for us, that there is little that we need to seek out on our own, or there is little desire on our part to do so. This is sad, but in many cases true.
I was thinking just with my own life how busy and crazy it can be with our responsibilities and requirements. Just surviving in this world is work. I want to have a greater desire to seek after God, to find that quiet place in the midst of the craziness. I try, sometimes I suceed and sometimes I fail. It is true how much church does give us and I am SO thankful for my church and the spiritual refreshing and growth it brings me, It has added a lot to my life that I was in need of. Is that same passion and hunger present Monday thru Saturday? These questions are challenging to me and need improvement in my life. In the big scope of things some of what we do on a daily basis is not really that important when we compare it to our relationship with Jesus. God...I want to have a greater passion and desire for You, help me to realize those times when You are so close, so that I don't miss those precious times with you..I need your grace. |
