Having browsed around and about, I have come across a fantastic entry in John Piper's Blog. Read it HERE. My question is; does God speak to you? Does he? Do you hear his voice? It's a resource we have available to us EVERY single day, and yet so many of us (myself included) ignore it. I kick myself when I think about the wasted opportunities.
Church was good this morning; Dad was finishing off his series on the Fruit of the Spirit (Gal 5), ending with self-control. It was really very good, and I have no doubt God spoke through those words too. Particularly about our Justification before God, and how complete and FINISHED it is. How wonderful it is. And it was excellent, and encouraging, particularly for a man prone to feel aware of his sinfulness. But I am forgiven. I am accepted. I am welcomed and Loved and given access to heaven itself. And that is a brilliant thing. And I want to see more of God and who he is. I want him to speak to me more, day by day, deeper and more pointedly. I want to be more aware of what he is like, so that I am less prone to doing those things which upset or hurt or grieve him. And so that I will delight more in pleasing him.
It's been a good day.
