I have been challenged about intimacy with God lately.
Do the other night, I asked God what intimacy looked like to Him.
He replied Notice
Take notice in what I am doing.
Notice me in creation.
Notice me in people.
Notice when I am promoting you.
Notice when I am calling you to come closer.
Immediately I was back in a restaurant where we had a meal and I noticed an elderly couple opposite us.
They both were looking down and scrolling on their mobiles.
When their food arrived the lady started to eat and looked intently at her food. The man had a fork in one hand and with other hand used his finger to keep scrolling and reading.
I noticed she looked over at his mobile but not at his face.
I thought I wonder if she’s internally screaming “notice me!”
Now I totally judged this couple and I’ve sought Gods forgiveness on that as everyone’s relationship is different!
God desires intimacy and desires us to notice Him and then partner with Him in the work He is doing.
God is a jealous God and he wants us to worship Him and give Him our complete attention.
“Do not worship any other god, for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.”
Exodus 34:14 NIV
A prayer that I invite you to pray with me
Dear triune God
forgive me for not taking notice of you.
I repent of the times I have ignored your promptings.Or wilfully disobeyed you.
Thank you for your forgiveness and thank you
that you desire my company. Open my eyes to notice all you are doing around me.
Amen
