Seeing God
April 16, 2018
Do you want to know how to see God? Matthew 5:8 says, “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” Get your heart pure and you will see God.
I was reading Hebrews 11 and came across a verse which has direct application to this point: "By faith he [Moses] forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing Him who is invisible" (Hebrews 11:27).
You get your heart right, friend, and you’ll see the invisible. You’ll see God. You say, "How will I see Him?" You will see Him in circumstances. You will see Him in nature. You’ll see Him in the face of a child. You will see Him in the Scriptures.
When you become pure in heart, God will become a bright, living reality to you. What God wants in you and what God wants in me is a simple little word—integrity.
FOR YOUR GIFT TO THE MINISTRY
Front Porch Moments by Gayle Foster
WITH KEY INSIGHTS FROM HER FATHER, ADRIAN ROGERS
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
