if you missed this week's
message i shared my perspective on the theme of the bible being God's desire
for relationship with us - from the creation in genesis to prophecies pointing to times yet to come - God wants you!
some things i didn't have time to share were benefits of relationship with God
ask enoch - the bible says he "walked with God" - and because of that relationship he never died
or noah - because of that relationship his entire family was saved
elijah was provided for in a drought and famine - elisha was protected by the armies of heaven - solomon was allowed to ask God for anything - he chose wisdom - king hezekiah had 15 years added to his life after he was told he would die soon - daniel's life was miraculously spared - ditto his 3 friends shadrach, meshach & abednego - paul & silas were freed from arrest due to preaching Jesus
your needs - what are they? - for most of us our needs don't compare to the above - but because of the above here is what i know...
the answers to my needs are not found in the way and things most people chase after - rather they are found in having a deep obedient growing relationship with God!
