Hello and Hola to all!
This week we will talk about how we seek God in our relationships.
Do you remember when you first got saved? Or when you had your first true encounter with the Glory of God?
I remember mine. I threw out books, music, movies and anything else that I knew were not pleasing to God.
Not only that, but then I got new things that I knew would help me grow in my relationship with God. I got new books and inspiring movies. I got music that praised God.
We need things in our lives that are not just there to be there, but that are there to help us grow our relationship with God.
One of the biggest “things” is people. God has blessed us not to be loners but to be able to bond with others. It might be friends or family. When God created Adam he knew it was not good for him to be alone. This speaks about more than just marriage. Marriage is just one form of a relationship. There are parents, friends, siblings, husbands, wives, mentors, pastors, etc.
One awesome way to grow is to find mentors. There are people all around that have experienced more of God than you. People who have more wisdom and who have learned more through different experiences. God speaks to us through people all the time. We are to surround ourselves with people who love God, who are seeking more of Him everyday. That is because these people will help inspire us. They will help encourage us. They will challenge us to grow to the next level.
Our closest friends should not be people who want no part of God. Hanging out with the wrong crowd will bring you in the wrong direction. It always seems easier to become like others instead of them becoming like you!
2 Corinthians 6:14 says: Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?
To be yoked means to be bonded to. Like I said, it is always easier to go with the crowd. For this reason we should seek out friends (or crowds) who also love God. Seek a mentor --- someone who can pray for you and counsel you according to the Word. Seek out those who can nudge you towards God and your destiny and not towards your own destruction.
Relationships are powerful, so choose with care! The right relationships will bless you for a lifetime.
God Bless!
