TOZER ON THE ALMIGHTY GOD

DAY 6 OF 7

A Genuine Encounter with God

Is it not true that for most of us who call ourselves Christians, there is no real experience? We have substituted theological ideas for an arresting encounter; we are full of religious notions, but our greatest weakness is that for our hearts, there is no one there.

Whatever else it embraces, true Christian experience must always include a genuine encounter with God. Without this, religion is but a shadow, a reflection of reality, a cheap copy of an original once enjoyed by someone else of whom we have heard. It cannot but be a major tragedy in the life of any man to live in a church from childhood to old age and know nothing more real than some synthetic god compounded of theology and logic, but having no eyes to see, no ears to hear, and no heart to love….

We who experience God in this day may rejoice that we have in Him all that Abraham or David or Paul could have; indeed, the very angels before the throne can have no more than we, for they can have no more than God and can want nothing apart from Him. And all that He is and all that He has done is for us and for all who share the common salvation.

About this Plan

TOZER ON THE ALMIGHTY GOD

A.W. Tozer was a man who walked closely with God, who prayed often and shunned distraction so he could gaze more purely upon his Creator. In these daily meditations on Scripture, Tozer urges you to do the same. He will stir you toward humility and full surrender. He will expand your faith in a God so great that words fall short to describe Him. He will nourish you with truth.
