Doing Life with God
Some ideas in the Bible are so simple that we tend to overlook
them.
But if we miss them, we often miss the whole point.
One of those simple ideas is this:
God made us to do life with Him.
This goes all the way back to the Garden of Eden.
Adam’s failure was not merely breaking a rule. It was stepping out of dependence and fellowship with God.
Doing life with God is simple, though not always easy.
At its core, this is what prayer is about.
Prayer is not merely asking for things. It’s living in relationship with Him.
Combined with His Word, we have what we need to walk with Him daily.
But this is where many men stumble.
We tend to think independence is
strength and dependence is weakness.
Yet the strongest men in Scripture were dependent on God.
Abraham trusted Him. Daniel sought Him. David cried out to Him. Paul
leaned on Him.
And Jesus Himself lived in continual dependence on the Father.
Their lives became what God intended because they did life with Him.
Don’t miss the simplicity of this.
There will always be circumstances outside your control–pressures, stress, and uncertainty.
But through it all, you can know this: each day you are called to do life with God.
This isn’t weakness.
It’s the way life was meant to be.
Genesis 5:24 — “Enoch walked with God…”
