How am I Meant to Know and Walk with God?

Richard Forbes
Christian , Daily Devotional

Do we stroll with God, or yearn to dance with Him? How close is our relationship, and how desperately do we seek to remain in His presence? In our desire for salvation and eternal life do we place our physical wants above simply loving Him as our internal nature dictates? If so, do we realize that there may never be a quiet stroll through the garden, a conversation spent speaking without having to utter a word, or hearing Him sing to us? God knows our hearts, but He wants more than this… He wants us to engage with Him as He has created us, to be in an active relationship with Him, and to love Him as our given nature is meant to.

What is the True Power of God?

Christian , Daily Devotional , True Power

The world sees strength and power in the mighty acts of nature and life. When the ground shakes in an earthquake, the wind roars during a violent storm, or the forest groans and screams as a fire races through it, but as powerful as these things are Christians see true might and strength in a very different way; we see it in the calm before and after these events. We witness it in the calm before, when all hell is preparing itself, and mounting up against us, and we see it in the still moments just after God Has bridled and overcome the onslaught. These moments reveal God’s strength to us. We see the ultimate strength it takes to gather these catastrophes in the palm of His hand, and then still them so perfectly that we can hear nothing more than His whisper… “Be still”.
