Why do we hide from God?? when our worlds are crumbling, we’re feeling sad, lonely, confused or even if things are going well….we don’t include Him. I don’t know if it’s a conscious thought that ‘I can do this on my own’ or we just get flustered or feel like there’s no time. I think for me I know that truth comes from God’s word, and I know that He will speak to me when I am actively in His word….but I guess I don’t trust that I can just open it up and be spoken to. I think I need to LOOK for the answers, to seek out the right passages so I control how I’m being spoken to, I control what I’m reading…..
Over the past few months I’ve been more and more convicted that the reason God has brought certain people into my life is so that we can keep one another accountable. Not like a daily questionnaire ‘did you spend time with God…how long? How many chapters yadda yadda…” but as we’re doing life together our flames will burn brighter at different times, and our passion for God will spill out depending on our circumstances. We sharpen one another without realizing it, without it being intentional. I think this is one of the first times in my life that I’ve been convicted that I NEED to do life with other people. I need other people, because they can provide for me something I can’t and God can’t provide for me in some ways without them being there.
Relationships can be hard, but it bears amazing fruits.
