Lamentations 3:25, Acts 17:27, Hosea 10:12
I feel closer to God when I am actively seeking Him.
As any relationship does, the one I have with my heavenly father takes work. I can’t just expect to go about my day, my business and have a good relationship with God if I’m not connecting with him. If I’m not reaching out to say Hi, I’m still your child. I still want to be. Now when I’m home, running errands, or doing my day-to-day activities. It’s harder for me to do that. So when I’m standing in my church, listening to the praise and worship music. Making my whole body, spirit and mind focus on what I’m doing. It’s the easier to feel close to God.
But just because it’s easier there, doesn’t mean that it the only place I feel him. When I look at a sunset or see a rainbow. There is something so wonderful about seeing the design in nature that comes from God that makes me feel him. Makes my heart reach out to my heavenly Father.
It really comes down to wanting to be close. That is when I do feel close to him. It’s a matter of what I prioritize in my life. Am I more concerned with Facebook or studying my bible? The question becomes how am I going to spend my time? Do I want to feel close to my Father? Because when I want to, when I make the effort I’m a close to my Heavenly Father.
When do you feel closer to God?
