How Do You See God?

Isaiah 43:16, 18-19—Thus says the Lord, who makes a way in the sea, a path in the mighty waters, Do not remember the former things, or consider the things of old. I am about to do a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.

God is constantly revealing Himself to us in new ways.  As Christians, we must be open to the idea that we can discover God from a new perspective and that He can come alive to us in new ways as we grow and mature in our faith.  We must also be careful not to define God in a box too small to contain Him.  There exists no human who knows and understands everything about God.  In fact, the whole point of God is the journey of constant discovery.  Once we think we understand Him, we must begin a new journey to uncover another facet.  Of course, this means, that none of us can judge another for our own personal understanding of God.  God reveals Himself intimately and personally to everyone.  How we receive Him is our own personal journey, and judgment of others does nothing to further their spiritual connection with God.  As Christians we can provide a loving community of support for others by sharing our faith and welcoming others no matter where they are on their spiritual journey.  We all have so much to learn as God connects with us each in a unique and personal way.

Today as you pray, thank God for His desire to connect with you and reveal Himself to you.  Pray for a spirit willing to receive knowledge of Him.  Pray that you would seek Him with the fervor with which He seeks you.  Rejoice in the personal intimacy that our God reserves for His Creation.
