What Our Hearts Crave

 Thus says the Lord: 'Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, let not the mighty man boast in his might, let not the rich man boast in his riches, but let him who boasts boast in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am the Lord who practices steadfast love, justice, and righteousness in the earth. For in these things I delight, declares the Lord.'

 

Jeremiah 9:23-24

 

 

 

Tozer once said:

"Is it not true that for most of us who call ourselves Christians there is no real experience? We have substituted theological ideas for an arresting encounter; we are full of religious notions, but our great weakness is that for our hearts there is no one there."

Are we in fact engaging in a conscious effort to cultivate our relationship with God?

 

Have we only concluded God is good today or have we tasted and seen that He is good (See Psalm 34:8)?

 

One encounter with God can change us in a way that nothing else can—it is what our hearts crave because it is what we were created for—and that is a personal communion with Him.
