SON –TAN, HERE I COME!
To get a suntan take much work; you position yourself directly in the light of the sun and then simply relax and rest...right? Do you know that is similar to how you can experience more of God! Longs for you to experience the beauty and glory of all that he is! Can you imagine what it would be like to go so deep into God, that you are no longer allowed to come back into this natural state we live in? This happened to a man; his name was Enoch. Take a look at this verse…
Altogether, Enoch lived a total of 365 years. Enoch walked faithfully with God; then he was no more, because God took him away. Genesis 5:23-24 (NIV)
Have you ever wondered how far you could go in God? I love what this Scripture says…
1 Cor 2:9 However, as it is written: “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him” (NIV 1984)
You and I both know that when we want something, we go after it. In this case, going after it does not require work, but instead resting by faith in God. God has given you and I an opportunity to get before him and bask in his presence. Someone once said, “Let go and let God.”…It is time for that! I can’t speak for others, but I need and want more of that!
Jeremiah said, "You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.” Jer 29:13 (NIV 1984)
To soak up God, you must believe that your sins are paid for by the blood of Jesus, that you are righteous in God’s sight and that he is in love with you! This is the place of true rest; this is the position before God we need to live in! Resting in God is the key to experiencing more of God! Are you ready for more? Would you like a new tan? I pray that you will say with me…
