Our relationship with God should be an everyday relationship. Not just on Sundays or special holidays. How are you growing your relationship with God today?
Ways to grow your relationship with God:
PRAY: Communication with God is important. The more you communicate with friends, the more your relationship will grow with them. It is the same with God. He wants to hear you! All day, every day, and every minute, God is ready to hear from you. It doesn't even have to be the normal praise report or prayer request. I love to just talk to God like He's there with me(because He IS!). Talk to Him like you would your friend sitting right next to you. If you're driving and see a gorgeous view just say to Him, "Wow God you really are an amazing artist!"
READ YOUR BIBLE: God gave us a HUGE book full of words breathed by Him. Get your nose into the Bible and read it everyday. Even if you can't sit to read on paper, you can use the YouVersion app and use a version that has audio. The NIV version you can just click the section you want to start reading at and press the play button. Play it on your headphones or in your car wherever you go.
LIVE LIKE GOD WANTS YOU TO: Are you living each day with God in mind? God lays out in the Bible how the righteous should be living and while He does not expect us to be perfect He still wants us to strive to live Christ-like.
WORSHIP: Build yourself a good Christian playlist on Spotify or whichever music platform you use and play it, everyday. I love to turn my volume to the max and sing my heart out. The Lord loves to hear our songs of worship to Him.
READ A DEVOTIONAL: Find a devotional and have your Bible and notebook ready next to it. Good devotionals are a great way for us to dig even deeper into scriptures and get our minds working towards putting God's word into action. You can find good devotionals just about anywhere including Amazon, YouVersion, DaySpring, etc.
JOIN A BIBLE STUDY OR SMALL GROUP: Fellowship with fellow Christians is important. By studying and praying together you will grow closer to each other and closer to God together.
WATCH A SERMON ONLINE: Whether on the television, TikTok, or Youtube, you can find some great pastors and listen to their sermons. Be discerning when choosing someone to listen to though! Always check their words against the WORD. If their teachings do not line up with God's Word then change the station immediately!
Share with us how you are growing your relationship with God today. What songs are you listening to, what pastors are you listening to, what part of the Bible are you reading?
