Joy in relationship

I love the Lord, because He has heard my voice and my supplications. Because He has inclined His ear to me, Therefore I will call upon Him as long as I live.Psalm 116:1 - 2 - NKJV

It is such a joy to me to be able to say my relationship with the Lord is one that I have experienced for my self... not via some other persons story... you know what I mean?

Many times after I have prayed specific prayers I have seen specific changes.

Sometimes the changes are seeming insignificant things but these have given me a buzz. My experience of seeing things happen as a result of moments with the Lord keeps bringing me back to the Lord for more time with Him. Of course, we are always with the Lord and He is always with us but it is a joy and release to know the Lord specifically responds to our specific prayers.

David in his psalms sings of a "life-impacting relationship" with God that he has experienced. So much of his life was lived on the basis, of what God had spoken in the way of promises by the prophets and secondly, after having heard those promises, what he experienced as a result of calling on the Lord in prayer. With that background of experience, he kept coming back to the Lord in expectation as each new situation arose.

He revelled in his covenant relationship with God.

So, how is it with you?

Since you got born again, what specific things have happened to you with your relationship with Him?

Stop and remember for a moment the answers to prayer. Do you keep resorting to God now in prayer because you are ever remembering the time when prayer fundamentally changed things for you?

Those are the things to remember as you go to the Lord again.

Petition the Lord in prayer today in the hope your experienced relationship with Him gives you.

Revel in the relationship you live in with God
