Seeking God, His Son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit in our lives is becoming a lost art. When we learn to ache for a closer walk with God to the point where we cannot live without growing closer to Him, then the miracles happen. God has never left us nor forsaken us. He is right here, right now! If we would turn up the heat on our desire and kindle the fire that burns inside of us for more of Him in our lives, then He will reward us. He will give us an awareness of His presence that will blow us all away!
Reacting to Injustice
There are millions of atrocities that happen all the time. If we have God´s heart in us, we will want to stand up against them. Yet the battle is not ours so we should walk so closely with our Savior that we never charge off to battle on our own. We should become so in tune with where and how the Lord is working, that we can immediately demonstrate that He is here with us and we are with Him. Human anger is nothing like Godly anger. Christians have always needed to watch the way they react to situations. Anyone who was not filled with the Holy Spirit like Stephen was when they were stoning him, has been tempted to react harshly against cruelty. We just do not resemble God when we are angry. So, what can we do? If we want to be like Christ, we need to walk especially close to Him. We need to eat and drink with Him. We need to have so much to do with Him that we begin to resemble Him in all that we say and do. When we get enough of the Lamb of God into us, we will start to lose the ferociousness of our earthly ways. Let us pray that the love and Spirit of God will finally begin to radiate from us.
