DEVOTIONAL
Committing to Intimacy with God
By Coreen Jackson, Ph.D.
Intimacy with God should be the goal of every born again believer. It should be the commitment of our hearts to desire close fellowship and communion with the Father. Here are three personal commitments every believer in Christ must make. When we commit to loving God, trusting God, praising God with our whole hearts, and obeying God then our walk with him will be intimate.
I WILL LOVE THEE…" Psalm: 18:1

Loving God should be a priority for every believer. Jesus reminds us that it is the greatest commandment. When we love God we are devoted, committed, and submitted to Him. Unfortunately, many of us say we love God but our hearts are far from Him. God loves us unconditionally. He hears us when we call, He provides for us daily whether we attribute the gifts to Him or not. He protects us from dangers seen and unseen. He bares us on eagle's wings to bring us to Himself. He has given us the gift of salvation - an opportunity to be free from the bondage of sin. With all that God has done for us, personally giving him love in return is little to ask. Will you give God your love? Will you commit to love God with all your heart, all your strength, and all your mind? You will never regret it. It's a guarantee.

"I WILL TRUST THEE…" Psalm 56:3

TRUSTING GOD should not be a difficult thing for us since we serve an awesome and trustworthy God. Yet we tend to struggle with trusting God when the storms of life come upon us and we begin to lose confidence in the one who is our only hope. The problem is not with God's ability to help us, but with our inability to confidently put our trust totally and completely in God. God wants us to stop relying on self and others to do the job that is only designed for God. Our job is to abide, remain and have faith in God. Do you think you can commit to putting your complete trust in Almighty God? I believe you can do it with God's help.

"I WILL PRAISE THEE…" Psalm 9:1

PRAISING GOD with your whole heart is a commitment every worshipper must make. God is weary or our half- hearted praise. He desires praise from the very depths of our hearts. The Psalmist encourages us in Psalm 150 to:
a. Praise God for His mighty acts.
b. Praise God for His excellent greatness.
c. Praise God in His sanctuary.
d. Praise God for He is good.
e. Let every thing that has breath to praise the Lord.

These commitments to love God, to trust Him and to praise Him with your whole heart are pathways to spiritual intimacy. Make the commitment by praying this prayer.
Lord Jesus, I want to know you more. I desire to be intimacy with you. I want to commit my love to you; to trust you in all things and to praise you with my whole heart. I am committing my all to you in Jesus name. Amen.
