Just a Guy and his Journey Back to God
Are you wanting to move closer to God? Have you had a relationship with Him, but drifted away? Do you struggle to do His will, hear His voice or live according to His will? Well, you're not alone! You and I have the same struggles. Here, I'll share my daily Bible readings, thoughts, struggles AND successes. It's my hope you'll be encouraged and know you aren't alone in your journey. I am just a guy who knows he needs to get closer to the Living God in order to live my best life and fulfill myself. What I'm not is a pastor, theologian or philosopher. I'm not smarter, more holy or enlightened than the next person. I'm just a guy trying to follow God's will.
Just a Guy and his Journey Back to God
Pray 365 July 8 - Finite vs Infinite!
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning Genesis 1:1-5
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:1
Then Jacob prayed, “O God of my father Abraham, God of my father Isaac, LORD, you who said to me, ‘Go back to your country and your relatives, and I will make you prosper,’ I am unworthy of all the kindness and faithfulness you have shown your servant. I had only my staff when I crossed this Jordan, but now I have become two camps. Genesis 32:9-10
Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” John 20:29
As I was reading "Does prayer change things" by RC Sproul, I came across this statement, "It is our privilege to bring the whole of our finite existence into the glory of His infinite presence" and it struck me as incredibly insightful! It felt like God was saying, Dude, I spoke the world into existence, I made Jacob prosper despite him having only a stick and I can do mighty things for you, if you'll just come to me and pray!
Let's pray daily for our nation, family and relationship with God. The spoken word is powerful. God spoke the world into existence and in John 1 we read that the Word was with God and the Word was God. Let's speak the Word over our land.
