Intimacy with God #2

Finding true intimacy with God is a relationship that too few enjoy. While many go through the motions, only a handful (and I say that reservedly) can categorically state that they're experientially intimate with God.

It begs the question therefore, why is this so? the answer is two-fold.

1. there is perhaps a lack of understanding of the nature and character of God.
2. those who theologically "know" Him are not pursuing a course of complete obedience to Him.

What God desires above all else is for us to pursue a life intimacy with him. The choice is ours (James 4:8). God is not in the business of forcing himself upon us. Therefore our level of intimacy is entirely dependent upon our level of commitment. We must make the first step!

In Jeremiah 33:1-3, the Lord (His covenant name) extends an invitation for us to "call" on Him.
It is said that the average person speaks some 34,000 words per day, but how many of those uttered unto God? To call means to lift up your voice. Is. 40:1; Ps 116:1, Ps. 50:15; and Ro. 8:15 indicates that something powerful happens when we with passionate intensity call out to God.

"I will answer you", He says in Titus 1:2. This is an assurance and God cannot lie! He is able to keep the promises He makes for He says, "surely I will do it (Is 46:11)."

God wants us to seek His face. It is only when we have found His feet that we will find His face. Once we have found his face (favor) then no longer are we satisfied just merely dwelling in His omnipresence but His manifest presence becomes the treasure we seek after daily.
