Why you should contemplate God
September 28, 2009
"… The LORD has sought out a man after his own heart…."
--1 Samuel 13:14
As Christ-followers, it is vital that you and I contemplate God, to pursue understanding of who he is and what he is like. We need to think about his greatness, his goodness, his glory and all of his marvelous attributes. Because when we do, he begins to change us into his image.
But not everyone understands this simple discipline. Some people never think about God, and they wonder why their lives are empty, hopeless, and full of despair.
There are others who have learned mistruths about God, and as a result their lives are filled with confusion and deception.
Still there are others who think the right things about God, but who never allow that truth to touch their lives where they live. And these people go through life feeling disappointed, discouraged, and defeated.
But you see, when we spend time thinking the right things about God… about his faithfulness, his mercy, and power… we are encouraged and strengthened in our faith. And we begin to live our lives in confidence, security, and with a sense of direction and destiny.
The prophet Samuel said King David was this kind of person… a man who wanted to know God's own heart.
Let this goal become the pursuit of your life! Let it be said of you that you are a person who wants to know God's heart. And as you seek him, you will experience the miraculous transforming power of God in your life.
LET IT BE SAID OF YOU THAT YOU ARE A PERSON WHO
WANTS TO KNOW GOD'S HEART.

OUR THANKS TO YOU!
Dear Friend,
Do the words rested... peaceful... and refreshed describe you today? Or do the words stressed... rushed... and pressured better describe your way of life?
If you're like most Christians, you'd probably have to admit those last three words more accurately describe your life most of the time!
The good news is that it doesn't have to be this way... even when your life is one big pressure-cooker. And in my new book, Pause: Resting in God Instead of Stressing Out, I'll show you why.
Based on the principles from Paul's letter to the Philippians and Psalm 23, Pause: Resting in God Instead of Stressing Out will help you find true peace and rest in a world that is anything but peaceful and restful. It's the perfect "pause" button you need!
So please request your copy of Pause: Resting in God Instead of Stressing Out when you give online today! --Jack Graham
