Pensées sur le Verset du Jour...
En vérité, Dieu est toujours proche de ceux qui le recherchent sincèrement. Le vrai problème est que nous nous éloignons de Lui, perdons tout intérêt et quittons sa présence. Cherchons-le donc et recevons sa grâce et son aide tout en reconnaissant que Lui seul est celui qui sauve vraiment.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Isaiah declares that God is always close to those who genuinely seek after him and call on him as their God. In fact, God is fully present as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in us, with us, and making his home in us when we obey him (John 14:15-17, 18, 23). The real problem is that we can drift away from him, lose interest in him, and leave his presence (Hebrews 2:1, 3:12). So let's seek God and receive his grace. Let's obey God and discover that his presence and help are with us, recognizing that he alone truly saves and makes his presence real in us and to us. Let's...
Seek the Lord while he may be found; call on him while he is near.
Ma Prière...
Père, je te cherche de tout mon cœur. Tandis que je cherche à te connaître par ta Parole, j'aspire à te connaître et à être connu de Toi comme un père tendre connaît son enfant et comme un enfant éprouve une confiance totale envers son père tendre. Père, non seulement sois mon Dieu, mais sois aussi réel pour moi d'une manière qui transcende l'explication. Aide-moi à ressentir ta proximité et à connaître ta présence. Au nom de Jésus je prie. Amen.
My Prayer...
Father, please help me, through your Holy Spirit, as I grow into seeking you with all my heart. Please be real to me and make your presence known to me as I seek to know you through your Scriptures, your living Word (Jesus), and the Holy Spirit. I long to know you as my Abba Father and be known to you as your loving and obedient child.* Bless me with your assuring presence as I learn complete trust in you as my tender but powerful Father. Father, not only be my God, but also be real to me in ways that transcend explanation and emotion. Help me to sense your nearness and to know your presence. In the name of Jesus I pray this. Amen.
* Jesus came to earth as God's incarnation in human flesh, Immanuel, the Living Word (John 1:14-18; Matthew 1:23) who is our Abba Father (Romans 8:14-16).
