Hello,
I was contemplating this past weekend about the coming
Christmas season and about our relationship with God. I was reminded that we as
humans were an intentional choice by God. We see in Genesis 1:26-27 “Then God
said, ‘Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them
rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle
and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.’
God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and
female He created them.” (NASB)
Now, while the familiarity of those verses to many of us may
not feel too impressive, it was us (mankind) that He chose to have a
relationship with. We see in chapter 3 after Adam and Eve made their choice to
sin that “they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the
cool of the day…” and realize that Adam and Eve knew the sound of the presence
of God. It was familiar, they shared together on a regular basis.
God desires that relationship and fellowship with us. As we
head towards Christmas, please keep this in mind. Be thankful for your
relationship with Him, seek to draw closer in fellowship with Him and eradicate
the things that get in the way of that fellowship.
Have a blessed day,
