SEEKING GOD….
We live in a busy world. We are concerned with family, work and other aspects of our life.
When we became commited to God, we became even busier with activities and services.
And when our community becaomes a leader in the work of evangelazation and total human liberation,
then there may hardly be time for everything else.
But no matter how busy we are, we must never neglect the very basic aspect of our life in God, and that is a deep intimate personal relationship with him. We need to spend time with God in prayer and in reading the Bible. It is during these times that God speaks to us, guides us, consoles us, gives us his wisdom, energizes us, gives us hope, and just generally bellesses us.
But how about the many things we need to do, including the work of God? Well, we need to do our part, but we always remember a basic reality. God does not want us just running around all the time doing things for him.
God wants an intimate personal relationship with us, as a father to his child. If we do wait upon him, if we do seek him each day, then he will bless us. In fact, God favors us even when we are doing nothing but enjpying our sleep.
Knowing that God is there for us is also a great help in times of trial. There will be times when we no longer know what to do, when we are deeply troubled or even persecuted, when there seems to be no light or hope, but because we have a father who loves us, we can always turn to him. When we do, we should trust in him and have hope because our life would then be in the best of hands. “it is good to hope in silence for the saving help of the Lord”
