To Know God; Make it Your Number One Goal

Happy New Week! I wish people would ask me more about how my relationship with God is fairing than just about when they are coming to eat jollof rice on my wedding Day. Lol.

The Number One Goal

We all have a story. The one God writes for each of us may go down many paths. No matter where you are on the journey, there is a plan and a purpose to what you experience. And that experience leaves you with some better knowledge of who God is.

For instance, when I got admitted into the university of my choice to study the course of my choice at the time, I realized that God who answers prayers can give you the specific things you ask for. When I got an extra year at the same university, I realized that God who knows the good plans He has for you can turn the seemingly bad situation into a beautiful one.

God wants us to know Him. Like a boo who wants to talk with us everyday, He wants us to commune with Him everyday.

No matter what we hope to achieve in life, there is a goal, a desire that has been imprinted on our hearts long before we were born: To seek to know Him and reach out for Him.

The Bible says God is at work in everyone's life. "He did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us." (Acts 17:27)

Do you see it?!?

You don't have a choice!

To know God is your factory setting. Lol.

To know God is your heart's desire. Hehehe.

To know God is the goal. You can't even help it.

It is #1 goal. The most important goal. Your life depends on it. Everything else can be explained by this knowledge.

Inside each of us is a burning desire for intimacy—intimacy with God.

Hmmm . . .

I'm currently humming the chorus of this song by Casting Crowns titled 'To Know You'. The chorus reads:

More than my next breath

More than life or death

All I’m reaching for, I live my life to know You more

I leave it all behind, You’re all that satisfies

To know You is to want to know You more

To know You is to ache for more than ordinary

To know You is to look beyond the temporary

To know You is believing that You’ll be enough

‘Cause there’s no life without You

I want to continue my walk with Christ and be a constant learning Christian. I want to know God more deeply. . . personally. . . intimately. This is my number one goal.
