SOUL SNACK 14 ... Dating God

'… be still and know that I am God ...' Ps 46:10a

For millennia man has conducted a quest for God. Man has climbed mountains. He has indulged in many various and even dangerousrituals. He has learnt asceticism and privation. He has written much and studied even more. He has even created god in his own image.

Since the close of the Dark Ages, the unspokenbelief has been that God is found through study. But man has still failed to find God. Yet, as always, God confounds the wise.

God's knowledge is not gleaned through study. I do not enterrelationships with another through studying books about them (or even looking attheir photos!)

True knowledge of God (i.e. relationship) is foundthru another 's' word, stillness! When I stop, it is then that I can get to knowanother. No relationship can grow with out deliberately invested time.

No wonder the enemy conspires to keep me busy. My devotions, service and church attendance are allhindered through my busyness, and I can't get to know God.I can even misunderstand those who I am too busy toget to know.Busyness takes me past God, stillness takes me intoHis presence. How can you organize 'a date' with God to-day?
