Life-Changing Encounters With God

Life-Changing Encounters With God

Have you ever prayed for a life-changing encounter with God? As we read Scripture, we come to passages such as Moses and the burning bush, or the time when Jacob wrestled with God. We can think that dramatic events such as these are the only path to deeper spirituality in Christ. Although God at times does a dramatic work in our lives, the biggest encounter we will ever have is the accumulation of many smaller encounters with Him in daily prayer. Simply getting into that secret place with God—day in and day out over many years—becomes that bigger encounter you may be longing for. Stay consistent in devotion, and that eventually becomes your burning bush, your life-changing wrestle with God. Now that’s something to pray about!
