God Wants to Encounter You Daily

Good news!

God encounters are not meant to be one-off moments, because God wants you to encounter Him daily—in fact, every second of our lives.

In fact, this was ALWAYS His plan.

He walked with Adam daily in the garden of Eden. But before the lovers had walked long enough, Adam chose to prostitute his heart with the world. And generation after generation, man kept trading God encounters with the things of this world.

Do you know the first time ever a heartbreak is spoken about in the Bible?

Genesis 6:6 says God’s heart broke.

This is also the first time we read about someone grieving and repenting. The Scripture says that when God saw the wickedness in man’s heart, His heart broke and He was repentant that He created man.

The eyes of God have been ever since searching for someone who will hear His heartbeat; someone whose heart is fully devoted to Him (2 Chronicles 16:9). 

But the closer He came; the further man withdrew. “We don’t want You to speak to us, we would rather choose man.” (Exodus 20:19).

But God was always looking to encounter someone - whether it was Noah, Abraham, Moses, Samuel… and in every generation, He found someone who drew near to Him. 

When Moses went to meet God, He told him – Stay here. Let the people go, but you stay here (Exodus 24:12). Can you sense the desperation of the Father’s heart?

God was, however, not content with revealing His heart to a few handfuls of men. 

He told His son Jesus, “Why don’t you go down and reveal my heart to them. And when they see you, they will see my heart.” 

Jesus was crucified on the cross and He rose again – triumphing over sin, sickness, curse and above everything restoring our relationship with the Father.

And in doing so, He left the invite open for everyone to encounter Him. Daily.

God doesn’t want us to live from prayer to prayer, meeting to meeting, Sunday to Sunday, but He wants us to walk and live in an overflow. 

Can you hear the Holy Spirit's whisper, 

“Stay here, stay near. I want to show you the Father's heart. I want to encounter you every moment of the day. I love you so much."

Come let’s seek Him like never before. 

And as we do that, God encounters await us.

Ponder Point

1. Are you satisfied with the life that you are living? 

2. Are you willing to lay it down at the feet of Jesus and allow Him to take over?
