We need to get comfortable with God. I do not mean we should be disrespectful, but that we do not have to be afraid of Him. In fact, I believe that the high call of every believer's life is to enjoy God. We are called to enjoy the Father because He is life and all life comes from Him, so we can't truly enjoy life if we do not enjoy God.
Sometimes we do not enjoy God's presence because we get all wrapped up in serving Him, discovering what gifts we have, and spending all our time working at our ministry. This happened to me. About five years into my ministry, God had to make me hit the brakes because I had become so proud of the work I was doing for him that I was no longer enjoying Him.
We have to be careful when we start getting proud of ourselves because of all the things we are doing. That is not what God's after. As our Father, God wants us to know and enjoy Him.
So let me ask you, are you proud f your works today? Or are you truly enjoying God?
Prayer starter: Father God, I want to enjoy You. Fellowshipping with You and being in Your presence is so wonderful. I lay aside my pride and humble myself before you so that I can find my purpose and joy in You alone.
1 Corinthians 8:6
yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live.
