I’ve been going through a spiritual valley lately, and trying to re-align myself with God through getting back to the basics. Growing up in a Christian home is great, but it also means that there are many things that I take for granted. There are also many times where I fall into legalism, and my relationship with God isn’t as close as I think it is.
My problem: Trying to re-understand the meaning of knowing God. It’s not about the Bible studies, or the quiet times and devotions, or knowledge of God’s Word. It isn’t about a check off list that I go through and see which items I’ve done or not done. I’ve been falling into that trap, billions of times. And the thing is, I know all of this in my head. I’ve been taught that all my life. Yet, it still needs to get to me. I need to *know* God, and personally meet Him… again.
Philippians 3:10 (AMP)
For my determined purpose is that I may know Him, that I may progressively become more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him, perceiving and recognizing and understanding the wonders of His Person more strongly and more clearly…
So I’ve been struggling to get to that place. A place where I can say that I am getting to know God. A place where I can say that I and walking closer to Him day by day. A place where my head is no longer playing guilt trips on me about my relationship with God. I may never completely get there, but I’m just hoping I’m on the right path.
