#Wordfortheweek Week 3 #Personal

And the Lord said, “Shall I hide from Abraham what I am doing, Genesis 18:17 NKJV

There are few people in the bible whose relationship with God is so special. Yes, God does not show partiality, but these ones are different - like Abraham and Moses. And of course, Jesus. Every time I read their story it creates in me an intense desire for more of Jehovah.

Their relationship was very close and personal. They heard the voice of God directly, not through angels - though they related with such as well. I’m talking about Jehovah, God Himself made an oath in His own name with Abraham directly. Moses saw the back of God and spoke with him face to face!

There was no record of Joseph hearing God’s voice like Abraham or Moses, yet he also had a personal relationship with Him. Jehovah revealed Himself to Joseph through prophetic dreams and he had deep faith in God. And we know after suffering for many years as a slave, he came to understand purpose and he lived a long and fulfilled life.

Our walk with Jehovah is a personal thing. He relates with us at different levels based on His purpose for our lives. I would not imagine being on the same level of relationship with God like these men because they had their own specific purpose in God’s plan. I have mine, nevertheless we can learn from their relationship with Jehovah to build up our faith in His plan for our life.

You can understand too that you are unique and your personal relationship with Jehovah is special. He reveals Himself to you in a unique way for your relationship. Desire to relate with Him as deeply as our heroes of faith. There is no sacrifice required to have such relationship with Him, Jesus Christ is our sacrifice already made.

This year get up closer and personal with Jehovah God.

#Prayerfortheweek

Almighty Father, thank You for the gift of my life and salvation. Help me to keep my love on You. Help me to seek You with my whole heart. Help me to continually dwell in Your secret place. Help me to walk in Your ways, always. To the glory of Your Holy Name. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.

I pray that this inspires you to reflect on your relationship with Elohim and be determined to be more and do more for Him in 2020.
