Personal Revival

When people came to Jesus to have their needs met, very often He redirected their thinking. He taught them to lift their eyes from their own daily necessities and seek God first. He told them to "seek first the Kingdom of God . .."(Matthew 6:33). In the same way, the psalmist in Psalm 111, encourages his listen­ers to look to God first, who will then meet their needs. (Psalm 111:4-5) If we truly want to see and experience God at work in our lives, we first need to experience God on an intimate level. Just you and God . . . me and God! Remember what love was like? The stares . . . the letters (yes, real letters!) . . . the long phone calls late at night. While today it may be snapchat, text messages, and emails, it's still the same. All we needed was to see that special someone . . To hear their voice or see their face. Love equals time and time equals love . . . QUALITY time!

"But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin."(1 John 1:7)

Seeking people in order to get closer with the Lord will never truly satisfy the urgent need for a revival with God. Seeking revival will not satisfy the hunger either. Oh, it will give a temporary high. It will provide a short-lived jolt much like a good cup of hearty coffee. But it's just that . . . a quick fix.

We need a lasting sense of joy that only comes form an intimate, personal, and REAL experience with the Savior! Start in the morning . . . EVERY morning. Seek His voice . . . His face . . . His words. It begins with a moment and grows to a day-long love affair and blossoms into a life time of walking hand-in-hand with the one Who first loved us!
