Pray to intimately know Him

We pray to intimately know Him. My heart is always thrilled and leaps for joy when I read what the Lord said through Jeremiah (29:12-14) “Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. I will be found by you, says the Lord…”. Our incredible loving God assures us, He will listen to us if we call upon Him and pray to Him. And if we seek Him, He promises He will be found by us. That’s intimacy folks. Do we find ourselves asking… ‘Am I making this relationship with my Jesus too difficult?’ as James 4:8 promises a very simple, uncomplicated approach to intimacy with Him. “Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.” Let’s do this and experience intimacy with our Savior and Best Friend forever. David writes in Psalm 27:4 “One thing I have desired of the Lord that will I seek: That I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord…” What was in the tent that David refers to “the house of the Lord”? The Glory of the Lord… His Glorious Manifest Presence. David experienced intimacy with his Lord… and we can also. Let’s spend time in His presence and behold the beauty of the Lord as David did. When God told David to “Seek My face” in Psalm 27:8, David replied, “My heart said to You, ‘Your face, Lord, I will seek.’” God is after “face seekers”; those who desire heart-felt, life-changing intimacy, with Him… as He created us for deep, intimate relationship. Let us seek His face. David pours out his heart to His Lord in Psalm 84:2 with “My soul longs, yes, even faints for the courts of the Lord; My heart and flesh cry out for the living God.” Oh, may we seek intimacy… as our heart and flesh cry out to our dear Jesus.
