Encountering God

Early one morning as I stood motionless on the patio, sipping my coffee, a ruby-throated hummingbird hovered just inches away from my face, beak to nose.

I could feel the rush of air from his wings. Incredibly, he appeared to be as fascinated with me as I was with him!

After that experience, I wanted to know as much as I could about hummingbirds—their habits and their habitats, what they ate and what kind of flowers they liked. I wanted to spend more time with these fascinating creatures.

Personal experience is often like that. The more intimate our encounter with something or someone, the more profound our desire to know and experience more.

This is especially true in our search to know God.

The Bible points the way for us to experience an intimate and personal relationship with Jesus.

Knowing God is about encounter! And when we truly experience the love of the living Christ through the scriptures and the circumstances of our lives, we always want more.

Prayer: The cry of our hearts is to know you more, Lord Jesus. Thank you for your love that draws us ever closer to you. Amen
