Grasping Your Need
Most people do not change until they reach a breaking point. It doesn’t have to be a huge dramatic breakdown or anything. You just have to get to a point where you simply say “I’m sick and tired of doing things the old way. I refuse to live the same way anymore.” When you start talking like that, you’re speaking the language of change.
I believe that if we really are going to pursue a lifestyle of pursuing God and drawing ever nearer to Him, it has to be more that a good idea or something on your “I should” list. One of my favorite worship leaders Kent Henry says (of drawing near to God) “You have to grasp your need to be there.” There must be a deep awareness of our need to be with God and the spiritual bankruptcy that results when we do not spend time with Him.
Have you grasped your need to be with Him?
