Desiring God Relationally

If we could just realize that it is not us chasing after God, but God inclining us to Himself, we might find a greater peace, joy, hope and fulfillment in the Christian life. What appears to happen in many people’s life as they comes to Christ they begin trying to please Him. In an effort to warrant His blessing, one becomes tired and discourage and totally out of rhythm. Solomon realized as he dedicated the temple and encouraged the people to godliness that they needed God positionally in their lives in order for them to enjoy God relationally. Positional is putting God in His rightful place in one’s life as Lord, Master, Mighty God. That is what begins to put one’s life into perfect rhythm. I have found in my experience that it is harder to hurt someone when the relationship is personal and intimate. Solomon said on that monumental day,

“The Lord our God be with us, as he was with our fathers. May he not leave us or forsake us, that he may incline our hearts to him” (1 Kings 8:54-55a).

John put it like this, “John answered, “A person cannot receive even one thing unless it is given him from heaven. (John 3:27, ESV)

Jesus said,  No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him. And I will raise him up on the last day. (John 6:44, ESV)

John 6:65 (ESV) And he said, “This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted him by the Father.”

Today, just give God His rightful position in your life. Let Him be YOUR Lord, Master and Mighty God. He will incline you to Him.
