After a much needed rest I find myself back at the church and counting all of the blessings that God has done for us as a church family. I think sometimes we need to get away to realize what we have and what God is doing. To many of us get caught up in the business of life and we miss the hidden blessings and rewards that are right in front of us.

 We have a Mighty and Loving God who is constantly looking out for His children and desires that we the children of God should find comfort and rest in His arms and at His side.

Life wont slow down for us, we have to take time to enjoy life and enjoy our time with God. When the believer is to busy serving and running they miss the greatest joy of having a relationship with Christ. It’s at His feet and at His side where we find our strength and comfort. It’s in prayer and private worship where we see His greatness and His love for us.

If you find yourself empty and struggling in your relationship with Christ. Stop what you are doing and seek the face of God. Pour your heart and soul out to Him. He is there to lift you up and pick you off the ground to help you regain the Joy of your Salvation. The Bible is clear that we the children of God must seek His face and seek to spend time with Him, otherwise we will be empty and lost without the presence of God.

The Lord knows our weakness and knows our hearts. When we distance ourselves from our Creator we become dead spiritually and dissatisfied with our walks with Christ. We were created to walk with God closely and when that is missing in one’s life we are missing out on the greatest gift given to Man. Fellowship with God!

Psalms 139:1-6 says “ Lord, You have searched me and known me. You know when I sit down and when I stand up; You understand my thoughts from far away. You observe my travels and my rest; You are aware of all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue, You know all about it, Lord. You have encircled me; You have placed Your hand on me. This extraordinary knowledge is beyond me. It is lofty; I am unable to reach it.
