Word of Encouragement for Every New Day ~ 23 Sep 2007

Today’s word of encouragement is building a strong prayer relationship with God. Having a genuine relationship with God is real, it is authentic, and prayer is vital in our relationship with God. I hope today we will be reminded that reading the bible, praying, and going to church on Sunday’s does not in anyway justify a strong relationship with God. We can go through the motions, but it is all on the exterior. The inner spiritual man/woman is what God sees and we cannot hide that. Isn’t it amazing that on a daily basis it is so easy for us to communicate to our close friends over God. We choose to hangout over talking and spending time with God. For some of us, we choose playing computer games, suffering the net, or using our computers over building our relationship with God. Today let us ask ourselves, what are our priorities in life, who comes first, and whom do we place first in everything?!! God is always trying to communicate with us, through reading the Word, through our prayers, even walking on the street, God wants to talk to us. Let us reflect on our week, be real and honest to God. May we be encouraged as we face a new week to re-examine our relationship with God and ask ourselves, at what state is our relationship with God? In Psalm 26-2-3 The Word of God says to us all, “2 Test me, O LORD, and try me, examine my heart and my mind; 3 for your love is ever before me, and I walk continually in your truth. © Sept 2007 Shaun Lee
