Mornings With Jesus
Just Sit with Him Today! | Joshua Scott Zeitz
Have you ever wondered if your relationship with God has become one-sided? That striking question opens our exploration into the nature of true fellowship with our Creator. We challenge listeners to honestly reflect: how often do you approach God simply to love Him, without presenting a list of needs?
Drawing from the beautiful promise in Lamentations 3:22-23, we discover that God's compassions never fail and are new every morning—a foundation for understanding His desire for genuine relationship. While it's true that God wants us to walk in victory and has given us His Word as a tool for that purpose, there's something profoundly transformative about approaching prayer from a perspective of adoration rather than acquisition.
The true power in this message comes from recognizing what happens when we shift our focus. As we spend more time in God's presence, our self-centeredness naturally diminishes. When we sit at His feet in worship, our doubts about His care for us fade away. Problems that once seemed overwhelming "cower at the brightness of his glory" when viewed from His perspective. This isn't merely positive thinking—it's experiencing the reality-altering power of divine communion.
We conclude with a practical challenge: approach God today without asking for anything. Simply worship Him, honor Him, and praise Him. This act of selfless adoration not only pleases the heart of God but becomes our most effective spiritual weapon. Like Joshua at Jericho, we discover that praise and worship are how we fight our battles, watching as walls come tumbling down. Your time of fellowship with God isn't just devotional—it's revolutionary.
Hello and welcome to Mornings with Jesus, your daily dose of encouragement. I am your host, joshua Scott Zaitz. Today's encouragement comes from Lamentations, chapter 3, verses 22 and 23. The Amplified Version reads it is because of the Lord's lovingkindnesses that we are not consumed, because His tender compassions never fail. They are new every morning. Great and beyond measure is his faithfulness. Moment of truth for everyone today.
Speaker 0:How many times in the last month have you gone to the Lord just simply to love on him? Have you ever noticed that oftentimes, our devotional and prayer times center a lot around us and our need for a victory in this or that area? Now, granted, god wants us to walk in victory in every area of life, and the Bible is the core tool he has given us to do just that. But at the same time, he desires fellowship with us. Think about that for a moment. The same God who gave commandment to the oceans and spoke to the light and said come forth. Wants to fellowship with you and me. Now, that's awesome news. I want to encourage you today.
Speaker 0:Whatever you're facing, he is more than enough. Listen, the more time we spend in His presence, the less we will want to focus on ourselves. The more time we spend with Him, the less we will worry if he hears our prayers. The more time we spend with Him, the less we will worry if he hears our prayers. The more time we spend sitting at His feet, the less we will doubt His ability and willingness to take care of us. If we will make it a habit of entering His gates with thanksgiving and coming into His courts with praise Psalm 100, verse 4, we will learn how to begin seeing things from His perspective and suddenly the things we thought were so big in scope cower at the brightness of his glory.
Speaker 0:So be encouraged today. He is for you. So who can be against you? He is your rock and salvation. He is your strong tower. Run to him today and simply spend time praising him. Go ahead, don't ask him for a thing, just spend time worshiping him, giving him the honor he so greatly deserves. We are soldiers in the Lord's army and this is how we fight our battles by keep praising, keep worshiping and watch as those walls come tumbling down. Until next time, remember what you make happen for others, god will make happen for you.
