Today God directed me to 1 John 5:9, "If we accept the testimony of men, God's testimony is greater, because it is God's testimony that He has given about His Son."
To be honest, I didn't really look at it to contextually, but that's because God gave me something specific from it.
You see. I love Stephen Manley's sermons about intimacy with God. He has been focusing his study on it his whole life...and you can tell. He's the guy who spoke at Brown City camp last week and if you haven't looked him up -you need to!
Anyways...with this verse, God told me that with how much I have grasped onto the concept from Stephen Manley -how much more will I grasp onto actual intimacy and the words that God has given me? He has sooo much more planned for me than just hearing about intimacy. -He wants me to experience it!
^Can't complain about that one! In fact, I'm rejoicing! There is nothing that would make me happier than intimacy with the God who knows every detail about me. He knows me better than I know myself -and still He wants me to be close to Him!?! It's amazing!
We are talking about the Guy who created the universe. The greatest Deity that struck down nations with one man. That makes the impossible possible. The GREAT God who created me! and who thinks of me as one of His crowning achievements...yea, it's that God who wants intimacy with me!
How can I keep from singing, when this is the relationship of the new covenant. This is the purpose of Jesus' divine death -a relationship with me.
It's beautiful guys. Simply beautiful!
