God’s People
A personal relationship with God is the foundation. All the saints, all the characters of the Bible, the anointed, the strong, all who have left their mark on history, spent time with God.
Moses climbed the mountain and spent forty days with God. Moses was a man who regularly separated from other people to be with God.
The Psalm of David and everything we read about him in the Bible testifies that David had a personal relationship with God. Many of the psalms are the psalms of David, and they show how David put his relationship with God into praise and worship.
When important issues had to be decided, he asked for a cape to be brought to him. He spent time with God and received God’s guidance.
Daniel, a brilliant, anointed, and strong personality, a victor who could not even be touched by lions and burned by fire, fell to his knees three times a day in the upper room with windows facing Jerusalem and regularly spent time with God.
Jesus came at the same time as God and a man. He needed to either climb the mountain or go to some other solitary place, either at night or in the morning, as in any case, and spend time regularly with His Father.
Even before His death, He separated himself from the disciples in the Garden of Gethsemane and spent time with God. There He received the power to do what He was called to do.
We Need Personal Relationship with God
Unfortunately, not every believer understands the importance of having a relationship with God and strengthening it on a regular basis.
- God wants us to know Him better. The better you know God, the more you trust Him, the more you open your heart to Him, the more you love Him.
- God does not want to be a terrible, distant, and unknown God. In God’s Word, we obviously notice that He wants to be your friend who is always around and won’t let you down.
- God wants to give meaning to your life, give you His grace and blessing. But all this is valid only when you have a relationship with Him, when you know Him and accept His gifts.
- God is waiting for you, a pilgrim of the Earth, so that when you have completed your journey you will reach the home of Heavenly Father, the Kingdom of Heaven. Without cooperation with God, by your human strength alone, it is impossible to achieve this.
It is when you are alone with God that He gives you power, strength, and direction as a believer.
