Making Contact with God
Experiencing God in our Daily Walk
Ecclesiastes was a wise man, whoever he was, whether
Solomon or some other wise man and preacher. Ecclesiastes was interested
in life. His whole book is about life. He
believed in facing reality.
He knew that life was difficult. It offered a challenge. It could often
be difficult, even impossible. Yet he saw that God had "put
eternity into man's mind" (3:11).
Man is more than an animal. He is made in the image
of God.
He has a thirst
for God!
He can know
God
as he travels through life.
Jesus Christ also is concerned that we should
walk with God as we walk through life. After His resurrection, He walked
with the two disciples on the Emmaus road (Luke 24:13-35).
One of the great tragedies
in life is to think that
WE HAVE TO WALK ALONE.
We have a marvellous Friend and
Companion! - and He
will never leave us nor forsake us!
We need to go beyond mere formalities
in our faith and worship and walk.
We need to change our attitudes.
We need to increase our expectations.
We need to listen, to surrender,
and to reaffirm our commitment to Him who
has revealed Himself to us in Jesus Christ.
THIS is how we can
make contact with God!
The End.
The chapter (Making Contact with God) provides a lot of food for thought, doesn't it? The book (Cultivating God's
Presence) is just full of such chapters. What a gift - for a family-member, a friend, a business associate, an acquaintance ...
or for yourself!
Just a thought!
