Geek Pastor Devo #2 - Relationship with God

1 Corinthians 1:9
"God, who has called you into fellowship with his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, is faithful."

Did you know that God wants us to fellowship with Him on a daily basis? And that does not mean just a relationship. I have relationships with people who are acquaintances. But God wants more than that. If you really care about someone; you cannot wait to talk to them. A lot of people think that they are having fellowship with God, but in reality they are really having a lot of emergency meetings - you know waiting for a crisis to happen then run to God for help. How would you feel if every time you saw a particular person all they did was come to you when they had a crisis in their life, they never called you just to say hello and spend time with you. It would probably get a little old. (Now I'm not saying that God doesn't want to hear about our problems - He does!) But, He wants and desires more than that. The more time you spend with God sharing with Him the more you realize how reliable His Word is. You will also develop joy, faith and start developing God's own characteristics This really scares the devil, because he knows the more time you spend with God you will begin to act like Him, you will get stronger and God will become your leader and guide in everything it is no wonder that the devil wants to keep you from fellowshipping with God, he will do anything to keep you from spending quality time with your heavenly Father. Also remember, it is not enough to be out their doing Gods work and not give Him any personal time. It would be like if your parents went to work everyday and all they did was work to meet financial needs like buying groceries and clothes but they did not spend any time with you, there would be this void in your life. So if you're not already doing this start now make the decision that you will put God's Word first and final authority in your life.
