Reaching for His Hand

This world can be crazy. We keep crazy schedules, time flashes by right before our eyes, people can be selfish & mean to us, circumstances can roll over us, overwhelm us or threaten to drag us under. Yet no matter where we find ourselves, God is there with us. In any of these circumstances we may turn to Him, talk to Him, walk with Him, listen to Him and reach for His hand to carry us through it. God is our refuge and strength, a very present and well proven help in times of trouble. (Psalms 46:1)

You see, intimacy with God is like a peaceful island in the mist of an ocean of confusion. Whenever we reach for His hand and quiet our spirit to hear His voice, we find a place of refuge that this chaotic world can't take away. By the time that you seek God, He has already been reaching out to you. God wants intimacy with you way more that you desire intimacy with Him.

Do you want to be intimate with God? Well he wants to be intimate with you. How would you feel if you were in a relationship/married to someone who didn't spend time with you? When you love somebody, I believe that you try to spend as much time with them as possible....talking to them all day and all night-- running up your phone bill and constantly using up gas going to see them as much as you can. Well, God wants that type of relationship with you. You can put all of your worries, anxieties and concerns on Him because you are His personal concern. (1 Peter 5:7) Can't you give Him some more time? You will if you really love Him.
