"His Voice Today"
December 4
🔸️ Our foremost need is to have intimacy with God! 🔸️
God didn't create Adam just to have a servant! Or He didn't create Adam just to have a "scholar" for Himself!! "Now" the Lord God didn't create you and me just to have a servant or a scholar. He already has enough angels in Millions to serve Him.
Yes, the main purpose of God in creating Adam was for Adam to be united with Himself. In the beginning, God didn't give Adam the instruction, "work six days and rest on the seventh day!" This command was later raised by the Law of Moses.
In contrast, Adam was created on the Sixth day. So that day, which was the Seventh day for God, became the First day for Adam! That is, for Adam, the first day was to rest with his Creator and to be united with Him! Thus, it was only after Adam united with God on that first day, he went out into the garden and ministered to God for six days.
We fail to unite with God "first" and instead we go to His vineyard to serve Him. It is very pathetic that we neglect the order of God which He has created for us. If this had happened to us, we can say that we would have lost the main purpose of creation and the main purpose of our redemption!!
In particular, in a country like India, there are more chances for us to be "occupied by the needs" surrounding us and have the misery of not having time to have close intimacy with God. With so many needs surrounding us, the 'waiting time' to unite with God should not appear to be a waste of time for us!
Prayer:
Dear Father! In this world of urgency, give us the grace not to let our works and ministries over attracting us; give us the grace to have the intimacy with You at first! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.
