God Is in the Small Stuff

DAY 2 OF 7

Get to Know God Better

Does God seem distant? Is He detached from you? Maybe that’s because you are waiting for God to come to you. If so, then you’ve got things backward. 

God has given us His Word, His Son, and His Spirit. That is more than we will ever need in order to understand God (and certainly more than we can absorb in a lifetime). But the next step belongs to each of us. It’s up to us to read God’s Word, to believe in His Son, and to follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit. 

You see, God is a perfect gentleman. He never forces Himself on anyone. He anxiously desires a deep and meaningful personal relationship with you, but He won’t force the issue. It must be voluntary on your part. So, if you want to get to know God better, you must approach Him. When Jesus taught about this principle, He presented the relationship as an invitation: 

“Look! Here I stand at the door and knock. If you hear me calling and open the door, I will come in, and we will share a meal as friends.” Revelation 3:20 nlt 

God makes Himself available, but you must respond to His invitation. Take Him at His Word. Go to Him. Open the door of your heart to Him. 

You don’t have to move to a monastery to know God better. You don’t have to learn ancient Hebrew or memorize the names of the twelve disciples in alphabetical order. All it takes is your time and attention—reading His Word and talking to Him. Start with a few minutes each day, and grow from there. You don’t have to call to schedule an appointment. He has already extended the invitation, and He’s waiting for you to respond.
