The LORD has a pattern in Scripture of matching the pursuers faith. Often times when I feel a blockade in my pursuit of God, I find myself pointing the finger at Him as though He is the issue. Shaking my hypocritical hands at heaven I ask “where are you God?!”. In reality, when I begin to have a hard time hearing His voice, it is because I have intentionally wandered off from the the sheep 🐑 pin. That is 💯 my fault. It stings to admit that. It feels incredibly uncomfortable to acknowledge that. Nonetheless, it’s the truth.
This truth is echoed through Jesus’ half brother in the New Testament.
God desires to be close to me, But He also desires that I pursue Him. He promises to match my pursuit of Him with His presence. This is an absolute promise from the ultimate promise keeper.
God DESERVES all of my pursuit. All of it. He Deserves the cravings of my heart to desire to exclusively want Him. And He deserves my undivided unadulterated love.
Hearing from God is as simple as taking a step towards Him and pursuing Him with all our hearts. I don’t have to be a super apostle to do that. I simply must be poor in spirit.
