Seek First The Kingdom of God no. 37

“God’s power has given us everything we need for life and godliness, through our knowing the One who called us to his own glory and goodness. By these he has given us valuable and superlatively great promises, so that through them you might come to share in God’s nature and escape the corruption which evil desires have brought into the world” (2 Kefa (2 Pe) 1:3-4). Get to know God. I cannot overemphasize knowing God personally. I spent many years in conflict in turmoil because I took the word of other people for who God is rather than finding out for myself.

I still hear people talk about how religion is a tool to keep people enslaved. BUT a relationship with God sets us all free. My relationship allows me to personally know God in my life. And I don’t go to a church to know God, I can go to Him every moment of the day. I can access His throne and His promises at all times. I wake up in the morning and pray. I go to sleep in the evening in prayer. And I spend my day in between focused on living a life in alignment and in right relationship with Him. Do I fail? Do I fall short? Do I stumble? Emphatically yes, I do. BUT I get back up asking for forgiveness and in humility to work out His Way here.

When I started getting serious about knowing God, I sat down to read and study. And here I am still reading and studying. BUT also experiencing a relationship with Him. And though I don’t get how some other folks walk with Him and sometimes I don’t really get where people are walking, I still trust Him to lead me. I deconstructed. I fell away from church. BUT I never lost my relationship with Him. I have gone through a lot with Him. And He has always been patient and kind and forgiving and merciful. He has shown me grace and compassion when I was undeserving of grace and compassion. So, I still choose to walk with Him. BUT I walk the way He wants me and not how others choose to walk.

We all have everything we need to live a life of godliness. We just need to walk with Him today.

Seek first His Kingdom which rests on the foundation of love.Grace and Shalom to your home. The Kingdom of God is now!

I love you. I forgive you. Have a blessed and abundant day!
